Rossville 4-H has garden tour by Linda Kelsey July 3, 1958
Rossville 4-H has nine members enrolled in gardening. Mrs. Ethelyn Lynde is their leader. At the beginning of the planting season Mrs. Lynde distributed some seeds to the members that are not usually grown in everyones garden so they could see how they grow.
First stop was at Doug Kelsey's where they saw peanuts and ornamental gourds growing. Jerry Reser's was the next stop. He had three different kinds of squash, one variety already had a squash about a foot long on it. Heilands have two gardens, Sandra's where they saw Salsify growing, and Kenny's which had some nice Kohlrabi in it. Sharon Reser has some nice tomatoes and is also trying her luck with lima beans. Patty Coffey showed her Sears Garden which was top in the county. She has some prize cabbage and cucumbers. Zora Wade had some nice sweet corn and a big patch of potatoes. Next stop was Freda McCollough's where they saw Broccoli and some sweet corn just about ready to eat. She also had a lot of flowers blooming n her garden. Timmy Lynde's was the last stop. They saw Kohlrabi, Brussel sprouts, and different varieties of squash in his garden.
It would have been hard to have picked the best and the cleanest garden because they were all well taken care of.
