GARDENS AND TREES.

sssSs sbsSS utSsSs
Springfield can hardly be call
ed town of gardens or Of trees,
but it has a good start in that
direction, and by a few others
joining suit it could easily maze
itself famous in the garden line.
Among those with gardens
from fair to extra good are:
Doe Emerson, q good garden
that is kept clean and has in it q
little of every thing that a garden
grows. Doc has one pumpkin
in his gar len of the mammoth
variety that is now a foot through.
Those of you who want to beat
it will lave to get busy.
Will Spurgeon has small gar
den, and has a good variety, in
Guiding some grapes and shrub
berry. Will didn't seem to have
the garden all planted that he
had plowed, but probably the
rest of it was in some kind of
hill stuff that wasn't yet up.
H. G. Kaiser is one of the few
of the best gardeners in town.
He has a large garden-one of
three of Nthe largest in town.
His garden was early, and conse-
guently makes at this time the
best showing of any of them. He
has in that garden little of ev-
erything under the sun, and not
one weed is allowed to make its
appearance. Mr.. Kaiser takes
u great pride in his garden and
flowers, but the one thing he
cares for as he would a child is
that little patch of Steamboat
strawberries, which were obtain
ed through R. K. Knight last
spring. The vines had few
berries on, which two weeks ago
were the size of plums.
Dave konkel has a fairly good
sized garden, well ca,ed for, hav-
ing in it the usual variety of gar.
den edibles.
Harrison Tanlsersly has a fine
garden, we'll cared for, and a fine
orchard now bearing
Mrs. jackson has a small gar.
den well cared for, of the usual
varieties; and Nj g. Baily has al
so small garden that Is in goo6
order.
Herb Homsher has one of the
three largest gardens in Spring
field, and it's well-kempt condi
tion shows that Herb has beer
making some good use of himself
In addition to the garden
he has a grove of young trees
that is going to be great, and has
towering shrubs that are alread
y great.
Mrs. Cant has q nice little gar
den, and a nice grove of fruit ant
shade trees, and the finest flow
ering tower arbor in town.
Miss Clara Alexander has {
well-kept, fair.sized garden, ant
is particularly proud of hel
trailing rose vine and other fiowel
plants in her yard. Her yard is
one of the best-kept lawns il
town.
Mrs. Waugh has a nice little
garden, and some of the fines
Hubbard-squash vines in town
She has a beautiful grove, and ;
! young orchard started recently.
w. M. Stewart has a fine littl'
garden, and the most imposin,
grove of shade and fruit trees il
town. He has also the fines
lawn in town, thus giving to hi
home a back east, and even
metropolitan appearance,
Captain Vanorsdol's garden i
( last on our list, but it lacks
whole lot of being the least. Ii
fact, it is one of the three bii
gardens in town, and, as in tn
case of the other two, is we
kept and free from weeds. H
has everything raisable in tn
garden truck line, has fin
young vineyard, and young tree
for future grove.
Lon Denney has the most con
spicuous grove in town, becaus
of the prominence of the Loca
tioh. 1t consists mostly of frui
trees, though there are som
