ferson Davis. during her residence in
Washington, when Mr. Davis was sec
rotary Of war in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Pierce from 1853 to 1857. The
garden was not established when Mr..
and Mrs. Davis first came to Washing

Davis was appointed by the governor
of Mississippi to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Jesse Spaight.
Superintendent Smith is fond Of point

The tree in the foreground without

by Lawrence o 'Brien Branch, who was
