A BUSY DAY
l)enr Miss Morton,— On Labour Day 1 worked round the gardens most, of the time. In the morning I hoed up my potatoes and weeded the flower garden, which is now a lovely sight of late flowering bulbs. I had !o pull up a lot of forget-me-not plants as well as Virginian stock, marigolds and Iceland poppies, which J transplanted. The paths, too. were in need of weeding, while the edgings were overcome by grass which I soon cleaned out. In the aftfrnoon T helped to put up a, fence round our new bean garden as a calf ale off most of our scarlet runner shoots. When this was finished I helped bridge the creek so that the calves could get more grass. The remainder I spent digging the ground for our second crop of potatoes. Our first, is beginning to flower. After milking (about five o'clock) T dug round my Hr.nAf.p llirthday Trees. The peach lias a bad attack of " curly leaf " but has made rapid growth since planting. The lotnra is making rapid growth. This autumn I shall pinch tho top out of it in order that it will grow bushy. —Yours sincerely, Helwyn Messenger, Omahula, Okaihau, JJ.M.D. (age 14).
