JACOB JUSTEN McHENRY, ILL. •P.- -Myf J.- WALSH H. S. Gardinier, former McHenry resident^ and favorably known to many of •The Plaindealer readers, fab renewing his subscription to' the home-town paper, writes us the following interesting letter: Daly City, Calif., Jan. 10, 1922. Mr. F. G. Schreiner, \,-p McHenry, 111. ' -ft.,, * . Friend Frank--Inclosed > fMl, will find P. 0. order for $2.00 for tin renewal of my. subscription to your paper. I wouldn't think I could get along without it. It seems like getting a tetter from home every week when I get Hie Plaindealer, but sorry to read of the deaths of so many old friends back there. I am feeling fine and enjoying the irood, old California climate, altho we have had lots of rain during the last month- However, the rainfall is nothing more than the average and is badly needed for the good of the ranchers and gardeners. This is our rainy season. Get very little, if any. tiuring the summer months. Experienced a few light frosts here lately, but did no damage to the fruit or flowers. The soil here is all sand and for that reason, and the lack of rain during the summer months, all of the land, even on the hill sides, must be irrigated. You would be surprised to see the fine gardens op sides of steep hills and wonder hew they worked the land. To irrigate the gardens they pipe the land and UMT S hose with a spray. Here in Daly City are seen many lots which have been given over to the growing of violets, which find a ready market in the larger cities. One gardener here made $4,000 oi| his violets last year. Artichokes and cauliflower are the two main crops for the gardeners. The artichokes are not like those you grow back there. The plants are about two feet in height and the artichokes grow on the very top of the plant in the shape of a pineapple and are prepared for 'the table in about the same maimer as asparagus. One acre will yiel4 over a thousand dollars worth of these plants. Many thousands of dollars worth of these two vegetables find their way to the eastern markets from here annually. The gardening is done principally by Italians, as is also the wine making. One tiling I almost forgot to mention " is thg fact that my brother picked a nice mess of string beans from his garden for our New Year's dinner. Can you beat that in Illinois? But of all the nice fruit and vegetables they grow here on the irrigated land, they don't have the taste or flavor of the fruits and vegetables grown in good, old Illinois. At the present time I am building myself a nice five room bungalow, with garage in basement. Have a line view of the ocean from the living room. With best regards to you and friends, I remain, Yours truly, • a -H. S. Gardinier, .
