no indication from whom they came
so that we cannot write to the donors

Our kitchen garden this year has
done wonderfully well inspite of the
very late spring. Lettuce, radishes,
onions, heets, turnips, peppergrass.
chard, mustard, rut.ioagas, spinach,
paisley, c rrots, brussels sprouts,
salsify, kale and peas have been
raised.
Most of the pens however are just
in blossom aiul will not amount to
anything before the frost kills them.
Nasturtums. double poppies, Cali
fornia poppies, and a few sweet peas,
candytuft, and uemophelia have also
bloomed,
Should the spring come early
enough and the summer be sufficient
ly warm and dry a good many vege
t lbles and flowers might be brought
to maturity here, but such a happ\
combination of circumstances seldom
occurs
