THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



The flower garden was very satisfactory. The beds were prepared on ground 

 which had been cleared from heavy trees the previous autumn. After grading and 

 levelling, a number of beds were laid out, intervening spaces being re-seeded to lawn. 

 Both annuals and perennials gave an abundance of bloom, the sweet peas and rose.-; 

 attracting the admiration of all visitors to the Farm throughout the season, their 

 bloom lasting well into November.
