The hospital farm at the American Military hospital at Portsmouth England, includes about an acre of greenhouses, where the patients are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, and a number of delicacies for the hospital kitchens. Close by are the flower gardens, not much ground for these in war time, but there will be quite a fine line of early spring blooms as a result of work the patients are putting in here during the fall and winter. In southern England, gardening goes on about the same in winter, for there is no snow here, and they play baseball on the hospital diamond in January the same as June
