year were in the early stages.

SONS to poke through the soil before
the garden pilgrims in dozens came to
see what had been done in the short
space of a few weeks. In addition to
having just been laid out, Mrs McCor-
mick's garden was suffering from the
excessive heat which predominated at
the time of the pilgrimage, SO it was
hardly fair to pass Judgment on the
merits Of flowers or shrubs.

The contest. she said, between fac
