PRESIDENT'3 iESSAGE

Our CODS May meeting was held Ooen to the Public. e had many visi- tors attend to hear Mary Lou talk on "Getting Started with Daffodils" with additional bits of information suoolied by other members. A ques-tion and answer oeriod followed. I warmly welcome those new members who joined that evening and list their names and addresses below.

Mrs. 4illiam J. Diller (Pat) 1377 LaRochelle Dr. 451-5757 Lrs. Edson vright (Jean) 2501 Bristol Rd. 457-3031 Mrs. Charles Bell (Diane) 2290 Cranford Rd. 451-7815 Miss Lura Emig, 1878 De,dorest Rd. 875-7380 Mrs. Harry C. Loudenslager (Margaret) 151 W. Henderson Rd. 262-1621

Your Program Chairman, Cecile Spitz, has been busy planning two informal programs. 3o get out your pen and mark these events on your calendar. One of our members, Lura Emig and her sister Dorris, have invited us, along with our husbands, to visit their beautiful garden on Sunday, the 14th of July between the hours of two and five. Theirs is one of the outstanding gardens of the Franklin County area. The address is 1878 Demorest Road and covers an acre. At this time their daylilies will be at their best; since this is one of the flowers which very nicely complements the daffodil and likes the same kind of cultivation,

we thought you all would like to see how they have grown theirs. e will join later at 5:30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Spitz, 4985 Charlbury Road, for hors d'euvres and punch for a social hour and possi-bly a very brief business meeting. Do plan to attend. The second date to mark up is the 15th of September when we plan our annual pot luck suoper. More details on that event later.

Meanwhile your PREZ has been busy with daffodils...what else? A few days after our May aeeting I received a telephone call from a dear lady who had just had dug hundreds of daffodils and wanted our CODS to have them. Naturally I couldn't say NO. So Bill and I drove to her home in North Columbus to collect them. is found her a very charming lady and a very good gardener with a choice garden. The bulbs were all carefully packed in orange crates and were sharing, a limited space in the garage with her cadillac. The foliage, very lush, was still very carefully intact and on close inspection we found the bulbs in beautiful shape. They have enjoyed a happy home in a beautiful garden and have had tender loving care for ten years. Our donor said her late husband had purchased them from Wayside Gardens about ten years ago and had thought them very choice. 3o, if you have been trying to reach me, I have been in the garage defoliating bulbs, spreading, them to dry and am now packing them for summer storage. Now the challenge is yours...to find a happy home for these nameless beauties. And also for all you very smart people...to try to separate all these according to Division. Have you ever tried to classify nameless bulbs before? I haven't, but I have tried to keep the ??"?clumps together. No matter what, they will naturalize beautifully...just you all find them a home. So keep your eyes and ears open and bring your suggestions to the July meeting and when Seotember comes round we will all have a job digging and plant-ing daffodils.

Meantime have a happy summer: See you in July. --Grace Baird
