verdure of the new tender grass, was
a part of an hours pleasure in a Pot

S. Gleed, whose house out in Green
wood avenue stands upon about half
a block of land. Hers is one of the
few large lawns in town that is clear

varieties of flowers and vines for all
the growing season, and many old

stemmed variety of tuplips, in many
colors. from yellow and shell pink to
flaming red. Growing close to them

hedge of spirea that is putting out its
white blooms, walls in a part of the
garden, and at one side, near big tree,
