of some other things grown and seen 

 in our four or five-mile drive around 

 the ranch may be noted. Many tons 

 of tomatoes are grown; the pulp is 

 made into puree and ketchup on 

 the place and the seeds are caTefully 

 saved. Over twenty varieties are 

 grown. Tests of the various kinds of 

 flowering stocks show over seventy-five 

 per cent double. They were past at 

 the time of my visit, but enough could 

 be seen to show their brilliant colors. 

 There are many acres of cosmos and 

 about 8,000 pounds of seed are grown 

 annually. Twenty acres of cucumbers 

 are grown for seed, and scores of acres 

 of lettuce had either been harvested 

 or were fit for the sickle. Giant zin- 

 nias of the grandiflora robusta types, 

 helichrysums, calliopsis and many 

 others are here. The only partial fail- 

 ure is the sweet peas. These have been 

 cut and are stacked up like hay, ready 

 for the threshing crew, but the crop 

 is woefully short. 



Among the tools used is a traction 

 plow that turns eight deep furrows at' 

 a time. From a 500-foot well, steam 

 pumps bring up the cool, life-giving 

 water that is distributed through miles 

 of piping, apparently about ten or 

 twelve inches in diameter. Altogether 

 a remarkable and interesting place and 

 a standing tribute to the skill, knowl- 

 edge and hard work of Mr. Bodger and 

 his sons, who constitute the executive.
