Scene at the Evans Farm 
Cutting Spikes of Big Top for the Ohio Show 
mii Ha. kvans: 
Solon, Ohio. 
Dear Sir:— 
I have just noticed your picture of the scene at your home showing the 
cutting of spikes of Big Top. and it reminded me some of my own experience. 
I have quite a few Big Top and they are so large that they hid the other 
flowers in the garden, so I thought I would put a few of them inthe alley. I 
had an unsightly telephone pole right in the back of the garden so I put a few 
Big Top around the telephone pole. When they were about six feet high I 
decided to tie them to the pole !est they bend over and turn saxaphone shaped 
onme. I thought nothing further about them until I was in the alley one day 
and saw they had grown so high they completely hid the pole. When I took 
an axe out to cut a few spikes to take to the state fair I found that I had tied 
them to the pole so firmly that they had lifted the pole clear out of the ground 
and when I cut the spikes there was the telephone pole suspended about three 
feet out of the hole. You can imagine my surprise. 
Yours very truly, 
eA tO, 
Great Falls, Mont.”
