Title	Portage County Horticultural Society Proceedings
Subject	Agriculture Climate and Weather Plants and Animals Horticulture Gardening
Place	Ravenna (Ohio) Portage County (Ohio)
Description	This volume documents the organization and meetings of the Portage County Horticultural Society. The constitution and a selection of minutes from early meetings are digitized here. The complete volume is 698 pages and measures 8.25" x 6.25" (20.96 x 15.88 cm). As described in the pages regarding the organization and by-laws of the Portage County Horticultural Society, residents of Portage County developed the organization for the purpose of "advancement of Horticultural knowledge" in 1879. In their efforts to advance their horticultural knowledge, the Society addressed the agricultural and climatological landscape of the county. Detailed descriptions of many plant and tree varieties are given in the minutes of the meetings, as are descriptions of the weather in relation to the growing seasons and society members' ability to travel to meetings. The proceedings also provide insight into the daily life of members. While providing an educational purpose, horticultural societies also served as a place for men and women to meet and spend their leisure time. Meetings took place at the homes of the members in turn and descriptions of the homes and hospitality offered are prominent in the minutes of many meetings.
