Dear sir: Our last letter to you
dealt only on the preparation Of the
ground, etc, but at the same time told
you that we will give you the results
OF our planting in our next mail.
Most Of the seeds that we planted
on the 22nd, of January were seeds Of
the quicker growing plants, such as
turnips, beets, corn, Der, musk.
melon, lettuce, tomatoes and chilli
pepper, They are all doing we'll with
the exception Of the lettuce and onions.
The beds In which these seeds were
planted were flooded out, due to the
grade from the bank Of an old plan
tation ditch, which brought much dirt
into the beds.
We have replanted these beds-on
the 31st Of January-and had a ditch
dug 80 as to ge: the water to run off
in another direction.
We are very fortunate this year be-
cause our enemy, the caterpillar, is
not In the contest
Our next mail will be accompanied
with the drawings of the plants.
Enclosed herewith are drawings OF
our garden, in two lots.
Yours truly,

Teachers In Hawaii's schools will

Of the code will show its scope:
