Full title:Mr. Toshichi Mitoma, Mrs. Mitoma and their son, Edwin, are shown here in the beautiful flower garden which Mr.
Mitoma has developed at the Thomas Dougherty home in Cleveland, Ohio. The Dougherty family is highly pleased with the work
the Mitomas are doing for them. Mr. Mitoma is working as gardener and Mrs. Mitoma as housekeeper. Before the Mitomas arrived,
the large Dougherty garden area was pretty well run down; it is now a garden spot. In the two acres devoted to garden are
petunias, chrysanthemums, stocks, snapdragons and many other varieties of flowers which Mr. Mitoma has decided should be used
to improve the garden. Edwin Mitoma is attending an engineering college in Cleveland. The Mitomas resettled in Cleveland from
the Topaz Relocation Center. Mr. Mitoma formerly had his own gardening business in Oakland, California. After the war he is
planning to re-open his gardening business here in Cleveland.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Cleveland, Ohio.
