it pays to grow a good garden, to
keep an accurate account and by
so doing to gain knowledge for

In 1910, a garden contest was
sponsored for the So boys and girls
enrolled in the garden project.
Each member was required to
draw a plan of the garden, keep
an exact account of expenses and
receipts and write a story re-
cording the successes or failures
and what the club member "learn-
cd by doing"
As an incentive various nurser-
les and seed houses cooperating
with Helen l.. ComstOck, County

ranking club members.
Handsome medals, one of silver
and one. of bronze were given to
Glen Frazier of Canterbury and
