| A'NoRTHpoRT GARDEN. Crossing the
Little River bridge just below the plant OF
the Belfast Water Go. you enter the town
of Northport, and on your right is piece
of nearly level ground, extending to the
pond of the water company i'll the rear. AT
the foot of the hill it is some twenty feet
| above the highway, but as you ascend you
can drive in on a Level, and see what one in
dustrious, experienced man can do in the way
| of gardening This lot OF two and one-half
acres, formerly owned by the Cunuinghams,
| was bought few years ago by Mr.. j. f.
| Wilson and has afforded him both pleasure
and profit. He enjoys the work and finds ii
profitable as well. This year he has about
| an acre of hoed crops and not a weed is
| to be seen anywhere. He uses hand cult
vator. The first green peas were marketed
| June 26th and but for the drouth the differ
ent varieties planted would have ensured a
constant succession. The writer used to be
quite familiar with seed catalogues and the
variety of vegetables commonly planted, but
| there was hardly familiar name among
those growing in Mr.. Wilson's garden. In
potatoes there were the Early Manatee,
Early Alva, Harmony Beauty and Irish
Cobbler. There were eight varieties of
peas, including the Surprise, Early Morn,
Admiral Dewey, Champion of England and
Teddy Roosevelt. The latter Mr. Wilson
considered superior to the favorite Tele-
phone. In corn there was the Peep o'Day
(very early) Milk-White Cora and Golden
Honey in onions the Prize Taker and Vel
low Danvers in beans the Warren and Bur
pee, and in carrots the half-ong yellow.
This does not include all the varieties. Then
there are squash, cucumbers and tomatoes
and d few rows of strawberries. The soil
is a light loan with a subsoil Of blue clay,
and there is not rock on the place. The
ground stands high above Little River on
one side and of the pond in the rear and
would be most desirable site for a summer
home, as it commands fine view Of the
bay and passing vessels, and is convenient
for salt water bathing, boating and fishing.
