Capping it all off I guess is the sad fact that some time this month, a few rather large pieces of Sky Lab will hit the earth, and some experts predict there is a good chance of property damage and personal injury or death. It's rather a disappointing legacy. Ten years after the first man walked on the moon, we are going to get bombarded with space garbage. Somehow in light of the way I feel about my shattered dream of men walking on the moon, the fact that Sky Lab is making an unglorious and dangerous return to earth doesn't bother me very much, although some people are getting downright paranoid. After all, once you've been skinned, there's not much point worrying about the wool. these benefits?

Gardens at museum and Blackstock are in fair condi- tion. Edith McLaughlin has only two entries for the garden competition. She requested that any members wishing to participate should give her their names by July 4th at the latest. The club requires 15 members to participate. Several members attended the rose show at the Univers- ity of Guelph. There was a talk given on roses followed by a visit to the arboretum. The Lily show is at Hamil- ton July 12,13, and 14. Edith McLaughlin mentioned the flower competition at the Blackstock fair August 28. Photos are to be in the week previous to the fair. Kathie Petrie gave a talk on the perennial border. Steps to a good border are: Clean out all weeds, make sure ground is well drained. Work in some peat, ammon- ium sulphate and 10-15 ferti- lizer and rake well. Draw a plan or acquire a good book so you can plan a border that has continuous colour all season. Plant tall plants in back, medium height in cen- tre and low ones at front. A EVIIVI few tall plants in centre break up height. Water plants well so they will not dry out. A dull day is ideal for planting. To divide clumps of plants, use two forks back to back. Peonies are better not divided often as this disturbs the bloom. Do not plant peonies more than 2 inches deep as they will not bloom. Bone meal is a good fertilizer for peonies. It should be applied in the fall. Plant iris so the rhiz- omes are just below the surface of the soil. Divide iris in July so they have a good start before winter. In the border plant large plants singly and small plants in clumps. Then, Kathie show- ed slides of various perenn- ials. The meeting adjourned at 9:30. Shur-Gain Minerals do.
