w@ erty includes about twenty
HQ&OSQt acres of native woodland.

road rambles its ancient way through
from our south TO our north line. Many
Of our friends remember the horse and
buggy days when Prizes Lake was the
goal for ambitious picnickers-I'H venture
to say there are many who can still taste
in spirit Mrs. Eleazar wakeley's coffee,
for which she was so famous.
In buying and fencing this beautiful
woodland II was never our desire or pur-
pose TO keep out the people who for so
many years have enjoyed It; either
friends or strangers. Our gates are never
closed and we are always glad TO see
springtime visitors walking through
where they are appreciative and non
destructive.
The harm which few careless
thoughtless people can do is amazing.
Especially do the wild. flowers suffer;
every single visible blossom Is picked
with nothing left for seed, and many
times we find great punches which have
been thrown away, Plants are often
, torn up by the roots. In a few years
fear the wild flowers will be very scarce.
Bloodroot is already difficult TO find,
and there Is Just one place nearby where
spring beauties grow. Dutchman's
breeches are not as plentiful as they
were. PhloX and violets still blue the
hiIlsides. but columbines must be sought
for and the yellow lady's slipper and
SNOWY orchis are rare. This change has
