Over The Garden
Fence
In spite of the dry weather, lovely tomatoes, four varieties of them, were on display at the News Office on August 13.
In the exhibit were the dependable Rutger, the firm and meaty Italian, the little yellow plum, so decorative in a salad bowl and that mates such delicious preserves— and last, but not least, the beautiful Golden Jubilee—acid free— firm and heavy. Their weight surprises you. One thing was wrong, however, at least from the point of view of local gardeners. They didn t come from a' Rappahannock garden.
They were “city tomatoes* and, ■ were grown by Mr. Dewey M. Harris of Richmond in his small backyard garden.
Visitors to the News Office were very much interested in Mr. Harris’ “acid free” Golden Jubilee and are planning to grow them next year.
“If they can grow tomatoes like this in a city garden,” one visitor remarked, “we certainly should be able to grow them here in the county.”
In reply to the question as to how he managed it this dry weather, Mr. Harris replied, with a grin, “I got over the garden fence 'and worked!”
' (Note) : Mr. Harris is with the Richmond Paper Co., Inc., and is a frequent visitor to the News.
