Dear cir: Our vegetables are
growing rapidly and the garden is in
good condition We have pulled our
carrots. Inon and John planted those
carrots. Last Friday We pulled some
Of the tomato plants because they
were too close togesaer and now they
are growing rapidly. The radishes
are so good that all the teachers IN
our school want to buy them but we
haven't enough of them now. Our
beans that we planted last time are a
success. Yesterday one OF our teach
ers bought five cents worth OF beans.
Our cabbage may be success because
We have sold five cents worth and We
have some more that we could sell.
Last Friday. Feb. cath. from 1880 to
2 o'clock Mrs. Carter and the boys
went into the garden and worked
very hard: pulled the weeds, hoed the
beds and transplanted some OF the
plants. Every recess We go out into
our garden to see If the plants are
growing well. This Friday we are
going TO plant some new seeds be-
cause we pulled all the carrots. There
are sixteen boys working in the gar
den every Friday.
Fertilizer was brought, by a dump
cart, Into the school yard Some of
that fertilizer is going to be put on
the beds.

our garden very soon. hope the

the good things this time.
We started the beginning OF the

Last Friday we planted corn and

planted Japanese onions and lettuce.
We planted the lettuce between the
cabbages because we had no more
ground, and we did not wish 10 throw

planting should be done not much
later than March l. The crop ma
lures within 60 or 70 days, and the
second crop, if not available for the

summers, decreases the cost of pro-
duction of this crop, as all the curing
processes may be carried on in the
open. A considerable number of
rarchcrs have already signified their
