NOTE: Quote from the typed recount of the Germantown Horticultural Society minutes; "At the May Executive meeting, 1931, Secretary Matthews reported the loss of the minute books after the May meeting, supposedly lost from the running board of his car. Despite advertising and other mediums they were never found. As these minute books contained all information, we can report nothing from August 1926 till June 8, 1931, except to say that in 1926, Frank P. Hastings joined the Society; in 1927 - Mrs. Edwin Matthews, and in 1928 - Mrs. Samuel Newman Baxter and R. B.
