plants in the basin. The ledges on 

 the waterfall were covered with water 

 cress and other plants. All the out- 

 side crevices of the basin and both ex- 

 tensions, or rockeries, also the water- 

 fall, were planted with different plants 

 and vines, ferns and masses, according 

 to position. There is also a bed run- 

 ning nearly around outside the basin 

 of different soils in which a variety 

 of plants will be used for experiment 

 each season. 



That all this had a great influence 

 on the children will not be questioned. 

 Suffice it to say that in teaching na- 

 ture study and geography it was a 

 great help. The children took great 

 delight, when tired of play, in looking 

 at the various plants and flowers that 

 grow in the water, on the rocks and 

 in the soil. They enjoyed seeing the 

 fish swim back and forth in the pond 

 and watch them catch the insects that 

 happened to alight on the surface of 

 the water. They learned something 

 of the relation of water, rock, soil, 

 light and shade to each other and the 

 various vines, shrubs and flowers. 



Another good result is that the pu- 

 pils learn to appreciate the beautiful; 

 they will assist in keeping everything 

 in good order. The influence of hav- 

 ing beautiful flowers, vines and shrubs 

 is carried into the homes and will as- 

 sist in promoting civic pride. The in- 

 dividual who takes pride in his school 

 and school grounds will take pride in 

 having a beautiful home and neighbor- 

 hood, and the love of country is in- 

 separably connected with a love of 

 home. Whatever, therefore, leads a 

 boy to assemble the comforts and ele- 

 gancies of life around his habitation 

 tends to increase local attachment and 

 render domestic life more delightful, 

 thus not only augmenting his own en- 

 joyment, but strengthening his patri- 

 otism and making him a better citizen. 



Now let us look up the benefit to the 

 florist for taking an interest and part 

 in the planting of school grounds. If 

 you love and admire a nice home gar- 

 den and propose letting others enjoy 

 the same with you, you have only to 

 start out planting one and you will 

 be rewarded with a brisk demand for 

 all things that show better than they 

 have been seen before. Set out a few 

 Interesting plants and you will find 

 the school children know you have 

 some more for sale and, by the way, 

 they will want some flowers during 

 the long winter months and, of course, 

 they go to the man that helps plant 

 the school grounds. The teachers are 

 a class of customers that should be 

 given a chance for your surplus 

 flowers where drawing is taught; they 

 will return the favor when Christmas 

 or Easter is at hand. 



HORTICULTURE needs a wide- 

 awake representative in every town 

 in the land. Good commissions paid 

 on advertising and subscriptions. If 

 you are ambitious, write for terms.
