Clinton Citizens'
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
In a few weeks, the results of last year's work
by the Society will be apparent, as hundreds of tulips
will be in bloom in the beds where the bulbs were planted.
If the streets and boulevards are kept clean and
tidy, these beauty spots will be further enhanced.
If every citizen of Clinton was a member of the
Horticultural Society, we could have a very attractive
town which would leave' a favorable impression on
hundreds of people 'who would be driving through our
town. Our streets and sidewalks should be somewhat
improved.
