Mrs. ]. II. Gray has the record of
having the first sweet peas in bios
som this year and she can also carry
off the honors on the last ones. AT
ter all the frosts of this fall, as well
as the disagreeable weather we have
had, Mrs. Gray brought to the cor
respondent of this paper as fine
bunch of blossoms as could be picked
in midsummer. When we say bunch
lit don't mean a button hole bouquet
either as this collection would have
filled a good sized basket. When IT
is taken into consideration that the
vines from which these flowers were
picked have not been covered at all
this fall, it seems remarkable that
they should look as well as in the
summer time
