partment, Thursday, that he was show
Ing with pride that can be commended.
These tomatoes represent a vast amount
of care given by the grower, while he
has been at work early and late In his
garden this summer. They were raised
in a manner that is different from the
prescribed rules and that is another
point where Mr.. Emery feels proud. for
he can say the method is wholly his own.
One tomato weighs one pound and elev-
en- ounces while the others are almost
equally as large. He has no fear Of any
being carried away by being slipped into
the pockets of the visitors at the DEPART
ment as all are too large for the ordi-
