You are invited to a recep-
tion Sunday afternoon, June
18th, honoring my parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Wilson on
their fiftieth wedding anni-
versary. Open house hours
are from two to four in their
home at 600 Maryland.
No formal invitations have
been mailed and this means
bf communication is used to
include all who have become
acquainted with my parents
to attend and enjoy this spe-
cial anniversary with them.
No gifts, please.
Cordially extended,
Mrs. Eleanor Wilson Munn

many varieties of flowers,
shrubs and trees which have
been successfully grown in
her yard. Even the Spanish
Dagger is growing under the
abundant shade trees not far
from the more tropical Vir-
ginia Creeper on the fences.
Reagan Garden Clubbers
have observed the F. C. Mc-
Daniel residence, 1109 Mary-
land, the past few years come
forward as one of the more
well kept and landscaped
homes of the community. The
young populars and mimosa
trees are growing as rapidly |
as the shrubs near the house
and the red climber roses will
be blooming at the car port1
soon.
The Frank Horton home atj
806 California always has a
heat front lawn for passers- ]
by, however, recognition is
awarded the Hortons for the
private patio at the back
which they have made into a
beautiful outdoor living room.
The roof extends over the
spacious concreted area from
which abundant dahlias of
many colors are now in full
bloom. Also among the dah-
lias are double ruffled pe-
tunias, and zinnias and on
the south a long bed of mums
will add color later in the
summer and fall. The fruit
trees and pecans have curbs
around for protection and
also the back bed which has
many varieties of roses still
in full bloom. The barbecue
pit of stone is planted in out-
door ivy this year, and the
flower bed at the patio dis-
plays the different colorful
leaves of caladiums. Long
white planters attached to
the house windows hold the
plants of evergreens which
stay indoors most of the year.
Long range planning and
hard work has made a beau-
tiful restful area for the fam-
ily to enjoy during the sum-
mer months and should be
visited by many for inspira-
tion, reports the committee
