For a Beautiful AIIegory by Mrs
Scott--HorticuIturar Meeting.
The May meeting of the Sum mi
County Horticultural society was
held at the beautiful home of Mrs.
Cyrus Bettes and son on Home av.,
one mile south of the village of Guy
ahoga Falls. 1t was an ideal May
day, with ideal people, who had
ideal thoughts, so that altogether the
meeting was an ideal one, long to be
remembered by the many members
and friends who. were present to en-
joy the good things always to be had
at these meetings. After sumptuOus
dinner the president called the meet
ing to order. The minutes of the
April meeting were read by the sec
retary and approved. The report on
flowers by Mrs. Schenerrman, of
Hudson, was lengthy and elaborate.
A large table at one side of the sitting
room was covered with beautiful
flowers. Some old familiar friends,
such as our grandmothers cultivated
in their gardens half a century ago,
were smiling pleasantly and nodding
graciously to their newer cousins
which stood beside them.
A bouquet of iceland poppies,
brought by Miss Elicit, of Spring
field, were beauties, and attracted
much attention. They are of hardy
and of easy culture, and their attrac-
tive colors and free blooming, COM
mends them to all lovers of flowers.
B. A. Robinette of Northfield, had
on exhibition golden rUssett apple
which was very firm and showed the
good keeping quality of this variety.
DIR. Lyder Of Akron, told how he
kept apples in excellent condition by
placing them in stone jars in the
cellar, and keeping them well cover
ed with stone lids.
From the discussion on Orchards
it was quite evident that the pros
poets for apples and cherries, and in
some localities pears, never was bet
ter. While peaches and plums would
no doubt be scarce, present indica-
tions are that small fruit will be
abundant, with perhaps the excep
ton of raspberries. Mrs. G. E.
Barnes on Botany" read a report of
the cultivation of the lily, which
should be remembered by all who
intend to grow these beautiful flow
ers. The bulbs should be planted
in the fall and at least six inches
deep, in rich, mellow soil.
The essay read by Mrs. o. w.
Scott of Tallmadge, on buried
Treasures" while not strictly hor-
ticultural production, was suggestive
of much thought. The discussion
which followed was very interesting.
The essay by Mrs. Scott, follows:
I'm reading these thoughts / make
no plea or apology. L simply ask
you to apply to them, 'Hawthorne's
Receipt
''Simple, delightful, breakfast,
dinner or supper appropriate for
whose components may always be
found within you. Requiring no
visit to cellar or store. Take gill
of forbearance, four ounces of pa
tience, pinch of submission, a
handful of grace; mix well with the
milk of the best human kindness.
Serve at once, with a radiant smile
on your face"
'BURIED TREASURES.
my name had been put down for
an essay at this meeting and the
committee had told the society that
consent was given and was spend
ing time and strength thinking.
Shall 1 contradict? When looking
the Ohio Farmer over for an inspira-
tion this strange query struck my
eve: s'Buried Treasure. Can any
one tell me how to find a buried
treasure, when you know there is
such, vet do not know where and how
to locate it? Any information will
be gladly received by Mrs. Farmer"
Buried Treasure, and for farm
er's wife. 1t certainly can't be COM
posed of much gold or silver. But
come to think of it, perhaps it is. One
of our members tells how he buried
gold, time, feed and patience turning
the ice house into a hennery. An
other valuable member tells how he
buried the horticultural profits try
ing to mix farming with his horti-
culture work.
"But what are woman's treasures?
1 answer: Husband and children,
and through them the hope of better
ing the world. Now no woman can
take good care of her treasures un-
less she first takes care of herself.
Selfish you say. No. Nothing but
everyday good housekeeping will
ruin the health and spirits of any
woman, and such woman can
make a whole family unhappy.
"You say, What makes her work
so hard? Why don't she take more
recreation? Let the children help
or keep hired help?' All my friend
usually it is for the want of money
The principal war cry now days is;
How shall L make more money?
1 don't think it is because we as 8
generation love money more, but be.
cause we have more call for it. You
say, why SOP Well, in the good
olden times no one was in debt, and
all, as rule, put up with what they
had. Now every nation is in debt
