Horticulture and the Cessation of Hostilities 



DURING the past four years gardeners' thoug^hts and energies have been 

 devoted entirely to food production, with the consequence that great 

 developments have been made in the raising of home-grown veo^etables. 

 None who have had the pleasure of sowing and gathering their own crops will 

 in the future wish to give it up. 



Now that the sterner uses of the garden are passing, owners will turn their 

 attention once more to beautifying their homes with the old English F"lowers 

 which have been brought to such perfection, and for which the homes of 

 England were so renow ned during the long years of peace. But the recon- 

 struction of the garden must be gradual, like all other works of reconstruction 

 which lie before us,, and we must not expect during 1919 to be able to restore 

 our flower beds and borders to the full glory of the spring and summer of 1914. 



Much, however, can be done by the sowing of annuals for the summer beds, 

 such as Asters, Stocks, Antirrhinums, Godetias, Clarkias, and others enumer- 

 ated in our Catalogue. Primulas, Begonias, and Cinerarias sown this spring 

 will again make the greenhouse a source of interest and delight during the 

 winter months, while Wallflowers, Polyanthus, and Pansies sown and trans- 

 planted this year will ensure a bright display in the spring of 1920. 



Time, thought, and money devoted to Flower Seeds in 1919 will give no 

 less satisfaction and even greater pleasure than was derived from the vegetable 

 garden in the war years. 



One of the beneficial results of the war will be that vast nutrbers will find 

 new pleasures in life that had never before occurred to them, and one of the 

 chief of these will be their flower and vegetable qfardens.
