Mid-July Garfield made a cart to draw hay on. Clinton and Jim went to a ball game on the weekend, then to Highland Lake to see their Sergeant grandparents.
Garfield and Everett cut Kelley’s hay and worked on the Leavenworth driveway. Ella canned 18 quarts of greens and gave her aunt Lou three bushels of endive to can.
The first day of August Anna and Clara got the cabbage rose slip from the Leavenworth farm.
The original bush came from Holland. “Grandmother’s grandmother brought it over,” wrote Ella. (Elizabeth Lazerlier Van Pelt’s family had once lived in Holland.)
“Clara got the Cabbage Rose slip from the Leavenworth Farm.”
