eighths OF an acre. II is in the form

bank. There Is another wide gravel
path that. starting at the upper end
on the east side. runs down to and
joins the centre path. Along this short
walkway there are some very pretty
flowers. roses and other sorts then a
scuppernong grape vine. then several
pear trees, of the dwarf and eickle
varieties, all in bearing. Farther on
down are some fig bushes. These. too
are in bearing. On the north side Of
the garden, and starting about thirty
feet from the river bank. are cultivat-
ed raspberrics and blackberries then
some Concord grape vines. also some
Delaware grape vines. The vegetables
raised in this garden each season are
as follows. and / might say right here
that they are raised in abundance: AS
