BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS.
George A. Chase Has Made
His Grounds a VeritabIe
Park.

Tne result vi persistent work taste

dent than upon the plat of ground
surrounding the residence Of George
A. Chase. OF the three acres of his
lot on the north side Of the river he
has brought one-half Of it to a high
State OF cultivation. despite the fact
tnat when he acquired the property it
was altogether unpromising. His
we'll kept lawn of blue grass and
white clover. embracing about a half
acre is closely cut, and as smooth as
velvet. He has a vast variety of
beautiful flowers arranged in
mentally designed beds. and all look
vigorous and thrifty. This is the
more rem srkaDle in that he has not
the benefit of the city water with
which to sprinkle and irregate. Trop-
ical looking cannas. gladioli, roses,
pansies, lilies all seem to flourish
equally under his care.
LII duuttlOn 10 tne ornamental fea-
lures of his grounds he has an excel
lent garden and a large bed of straw
berries and a variety of small fruits.
All this he has accomplished with
out losing any time from his shop
work mornings and evenings. 1t
demonstrates what may be done with
a place however unpromisipg provid-
ing n has the time and the taste. If
every lot owner in the city would do
as Mr., Chase has done Sank Centre
would be the most beautiful little city

just south of mis- improved grounds
he has about two acres of low land, and
to this he will devote his attention un-
til it, too, is subdued and brought un-
der cultivation. He is confident that
it is peculiarly adapted to celery
growing, and he hopes to make it at
tractive and profitable. Heis4 entitled
to great credit, and his neighbors as
well as himself are not a little bene-
fitted by his enterprise.
