farm the other day for the purpose of
inspecting his garden. We had al
ways heard that Ed was model gar

port from personal knowledge. Mr..
Chaffee has 43O fine cabbage plants
and has had ripe tomatoes for some
time. He does much in the way of
testing new seeds and raises the seed
of some fine varieties himself, an to
conclude we can say that his wife
knows how to get up good dinner.
