Agriculttjral Hall, Univeksity of Minnesota, ) 

 Minneapolis, June 28, 9 a. m. j 



The society met according to adjournment, and was called to 

 order by the president. 



Mrs, Underwood, being present, read her paper as follows: 



SUMMER CARE OF THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



By Anna B. Un»erwood, of Lake City. 



When this subject was first suggested it seemed simple enough, 

 but due deliberation upon it revealed many points that if carefully 

 carried out and treated in all their details, would prove a severe 

 task for both writer and listener. There is so much that might be 

 said about each plant, its general characteristics, habits of growth, 

 soil best adapted to its wants, and methods and means of promot- 

 ing the most healthful growth and abundance of foliage and 

 flowers, that a volume of large dimensions might well be written 

 with profit to all. But such an Herculean task could not be un- 

 dertaken by the writer, were mere willingness alone wanted, for 

 the simple reason, a very good one however, lack of ability. A 

 few suggestions proven reliable by actual experience is all that will 

 be ventured upon at this time.
