ASKOV GARDEN CLUB
REVIVES MEETINGS

At the Askov Garden club meeting,
which was held at the home of Mrs.
]. r. Petersen Monday afternoon. it
was decided to hold regular meetings
each month before which the date
will be announced. The ones direct
ing the club invite new members and
urge any one in the community to
join, stating that the membership
fee is only twenty-five cents per year.
1t was decided to sponsor flower
show at an earlier date this year,
possibly some time in June for per-
ennials, and a committee was chosen.
1t was also mentioned as being pos
sible to have a flower show as usual
some time in August for ANIMALS and
later perennials and the committee
urges that every one keep a flower
show in mind and strive to make this
one bigger and better than ever.
Seed Package Exchange.
Plans are under way to have a seed
package exchange at the next regular
meeting and the idea is to create
more interest in the meetings. Each
person is to bring a package of some
special seed, a new kind or some
favorite to be exchanged at the meet
ing. A few words from each one
about this seed will be appreciated,
officials of the club urge, and any
one may take part in this friendly
exchange of seed. The date of the
meeting will be announced later.
