Titus took us out and shewed us the
large garden, which he attends to, and
which is kept clear of all weeds. Then
Nat, Titus took us in hand, and showed
us over a great part of the nursery,
Everything is in excellent shape, and
it would seem from the number of
young trees they have that they must
expect to supply the state with nurs ry
Btonk next year. Nat let us help our
selves to strawberries again, and then
gave us some to bring nome for our
Sunday dinner, and also gavo us a lot
of asparagus, while Jim told us to help
ourselves to the pie plant, then before
we left Nat gathered a big bouquet of
handsome flowerB for our better-half,
and Mra. Titus gave our little girl one.
These visits to the Titus nuraery al
ways make us feel like we had a host
of friends, and will keep off the blues
if anything will.
