 going on in the. packing shed at the 

 H. A. Dreer place at Kiverton may be 

 of interest. Personally, I must confess

 ment, with the sign that informed all 

 who would read that no orders could 

 be accepted for immediate delivery. In-

 There were annuals and perennials; 

 soft-wooded plants and hard-wooded

On each side of the bench there was a

 bringing them in light boxes to the
