HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE

Visited the Remington Peony Farm Again Last Sunday. Hundreds of people, including scores from Rensselaer, visited the W. L. Gumm peony farm at Remington again Sunday. While the number of people was about one-third less than the Sunday previous and the peony field did not present quite as attractive an appearance as it did on the former Sunday, several hundred people visited the farm and the large field was a beautiful sight indeed, with its millions of blossoms of all the hues of the rainbow from thousands of choice plants. The rains of last week did much damage to the blossoms, causing them to fade and drop their petals much sooner than had it been dry, and by the end of the present week the blossoms will be practically all gone. Mr. and Mrs. Gumm and foster daughter Lillian and Mrs. Gumm’s brother, George Hart, and wife of Earl Park left Monday on a month’s automobile trip, during which they will visit West Virginia, Tennessee and other states.
