tion, instruction, and supervision. The children who have had 

 a year's experience are enlisted to show the beginners ; both mutual 

 help and the spirit of competition do much to produce results. 

 The applicants are more numerous than the plots, and there is 

 always a long waiting-list. 



Persons who subscribe the ten dollars needed for the upkeep of 

 one of these gardens have the right to name it. Many of the 

 gardens have been named in memory or honor of relatives and 

 friends of the donors and others have been named with a view to 

 stimulating the fancy or the curiosity of the child gardeners. 

 Among these latter are The Peter Pan Garden, The Kipling, The 

 Alice in Wonderland, The See-It-Grow, The Guinevere, and 

 others similar. 



Checks for ten dollars or multiples of that amount may be sent 

 to The Plant, Flower and P'ruit Guild, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York 

 City.
