               Respondent mailed a notice of deficiency to petitioner on              
          March 25, 1996.  Respondent determined that Broadmoor Gardens and           
          petitioner's farm were separate activities and disallowed                   
          petitioner's deductions for depreciation and other business                 
          expenses related to Broadmoor Gardens.  Petitioner timely filed             
          her petition on June 17, 1996.                                              
                                     II. OPINION                                      
          A.   Whether Petitioner's Farm and Broadmoor Gardens Undertakings           
               Were Separate Activities                                               
               We must decide whether petitioner's farm and Broadmoor                 
          Gardens were one or two activities in 1990 and 1991.  The                   
          applicable regulations state that, generally, the most important            
          factors in deciding whether two or more undertakings are operated           
          as one activity or separate activities are the degree of                    
          organizational and economic interrelationship of the
