We had splendid garden this year,
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.

required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de.

My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli

the best of health since coming here.
In short, I am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and I
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
