The Bird Bath at No. 1. Lettuce of Choicest Strain Summer THE first day of June and I am going to invite you into the dairy-plot with walk from the front gate where the lawn was showing green, flawers growing happilyand vines beginning to climb; past or through the little portable with its books, pictures, andatmosphere of a busy life, out to the drive-turn m the middle of which was my vegetable fl3werbed.
