One of our good neighb0rs, who
prides himself in having the earliest
vegetables, has beat himself this
time. He had plants old enough to
set out his garden on the 18th of
March. Now it is whispered that
he went quietly into his garden a
few days ago and after mature DELHI
Grafton pulled UP the last one of his
early set plants. He had not tried
it before, and evidently thought
that "cutting off the big root that
runs do VII" did not have the effect
he had heard it would have. The
neighbors are anxious for peep in
to that garden but the gardener is
too busy to take them in. II.
