A Pretty Garden.

Down on the meadows at the corner
of Wildwood and Park there
is a trim little cottage and garden
known as the David Wilder property.
This spot attracts the attention ofevery
passer by, for it is a spot of neatness
set off by bare surroundings. The
garden has often been termed a Gar
den of Paradise;n really, it is a pretty
sight. The garden is not over thirty
feet square, but in this small plot of
ground there is growing and thriving
over eight different varieties of vegeta-
bles, radishes, cabbages, peas, lettuce,
potatoes, tomatoes, greens, beets, etc.,
besides the beds of g%eraniums, pansies
and other flowers which border the
garden. "What's the use of eultiva-
ting weeds?" asks Mr.. Wilder, the
while carefully scanning the well hoed
hills of vegetables for a sign ola sprout-
ing weed. He takes just pride in keep
ing the garden in ideal condition and
claims as fine vegetables can be grown
there as anywhere if the ground is care
fully fertilized and kept moist with
fresh water.
