Decorations by Albert H. Lange and Leonard C. Midgley. 



This reunion was considered one of the best the Society ever 

 held. Music by the Verdi Quartett. 



May 10, 1911. Meeting of the Trustees. Called to order 

 by Charles Greenwood Vice-President.. Voted to adjourn, as 

 only eight members were present. No quorum. 



May 19, 1911. About twenty-five members of the Society 

 attended the outing to Bayard Thayer's, Lancaster. 



An excellent show of Tulip beds. Lilacs in full bloom, and a 

 drive around the estate looking over the very interesting trees 

 of all descriptions. 



Lunch was served on the veranda by Mr. William Anderson, 

 gardner for Bayard Thayer. All enjoyed the day. 



June 24, 1911. The Society's visit to the Elhott and H. Ward 

 Moore Farm, was much enjoyed by all present. Strawberries 

 being the special feature, owing to a very dry season they were 

 not up to standard. The Moores are certainly among the first 

 in the culture of the strawberry as was shown. A lunch was 

 served by the Messrs Moore.
