Millers beautiful house and garden.
The house is a log cabin Qarger than

outside. Outside the house his sta

Mr. Miller has worked for many
years perfecting his garden and he

shrubs, Swiss and Swedish juniper,

has many varieties of cacti, both
strange and beautiful. His rambler
roses which have always excited
much admiration were ScOrched in

this year. In his back yard he has
| two stumps which have grown together
in a cuI ious shape. Bustin's Islanders

are so lovely, have won many first,
second and third prizes.
