The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-10-30

grew such fine flowers and vegetables, for all the young farmers had good results which they afterward wrote about in compositions for their teach CTS.
 In fact. so splendid were the results that W. s. QBrien. the principal of the school, said:
 we must have an exhibition!'' and have an exhibition they did.
 Little booths were put up about the school and then the children brought the choice offerings of their gardens, and arranged them attractive1y where they could be seen to their best ad- vantage.
 The flowers were placed in a pretty booth by themselves and the double marigolds, the Mexican hre-bush and the sasters were especially large and handsome.
 But the vegetable booth was even more wonderful than the floral one In the center was the queen cab bage, which was a. beauty. It weighed about 1 5 pounds and was as firm and hard as could be grown. Then. there were onions which weighed three or four to the pound, and one beet which measured eleven and fve-eighths inch es in diameter. Take your ruler and you will see that eleven and five eighths inches is almost a foot, which means that this beet, cut c1eanIy cross the center, was nearly 8 foot from edge to edge, which is, you know an unusual size TOT a beet to grow.
 The corn had succeeded in growing far above the heads of the small farmers who planted and tended 1t, ] and some of it was even ten feet tall. One boy had obtained some tobacco plants in Granby, Conn.,, and had grown about twenty hands of this plant in his garden Of course the earlier vegetables, such as lettuce, could not be shown, but as the chill of those to school before 1t closed in Junes all knew that the results with these had been equally interesting The people of Glenvi1le and all who saw the exhibition were surprised and interested with the result of the ex- pertinent. Some of them have de- cided to offer prizes next year, and now the boys and girls can hardly wait until spring, when they can again start their gardens, for each is cer- tain that he will be able to capture a. prize.

 Little Helen Valena5 of the fourth grade wrote the story of her flow CTS, as follows:
 q planted my flowers in June. The next night watered them. took the grass and weeds from the gar
 den. My morning gIories grew very
 high. They had pink and white and blue flowers. My peoples were pret- i ty I had double poppies too. The
 double peoples did not grow well ]
 had only two bushes of them. The l rest of the flowers were pretty. My morning g1ories and asters were the l best flowers. because they grew SC 1 weI1.''
