warm weather and frequent rains has
tened the grain and corn to maturity,
but pumpkins, which are never ex-

later The pumpkin pie season will
certainly seem out of place in this
warm August weather, but the appe-
tite must be hastily acquired, for the
great yellow fellows will soon be in the
market.
Late varieties of plums and apples
are also ready for market, Grapes
also are nearly ripe, as well as water
melons and canteloupes, and the home
gardener will receive good receipts for
his seasons work unless the crop is cut
off by early frosts.
