 John Sena was greatly surprised when he recently visited his war garden which is situated on the hill- side above the park house. In this garden John says he has over two thousand tomato plants, eighteen hundred pepper plants, six hundred caulifiOwer plants, few hundred tobacco plants, and large outlay of cabbage, potatoes, beans, peas and such. Although this may seem the rankest exaggeration, the very fact it comes from MT. Sena's lips makes it plausible. John intends to start selling his cabbages soon and will begin digging his potatoes in a cou- pie of weeks.
