On our walk in the garden we saw
luxuriant growth; long rows of vegetables in
beautiful order, the salsify espeecially noticeable
size and thrifty appearance. Grape vines loaded
with large bunches of grapes with no faulty
ones visible. The rose bushes were the finest
we have seen, showing no sign of slug
bug of mildew; from the garden we visited
Duck pens, built, as they should be at a distance
from othher buildings and all in fine
order and with all the conveniences the
most fastidious hens could desire.

After a delightful afternoon we
adjourned hoping to meet
