In order to have the peas blooming the latter part of May or the first 

 of June, all seeds should be in by the middle of January or the first of 

 February. This suggestion should be followed all over the state. Plant 

 your seeds now. Since the awards are to be made on 20 sprays, enough 

 flowers may be grown on a very few plants in boxes or pots', inside or 

 outside. Flowers grown in hothouses are not eligible. 



Plant a few seeds every two weeks for four plantings, so as to be 

 sure that blossoms are ready at the right time. 



Ninth — After the exhibit the flowers will be sold: (1) To help pay the 

 expenses of the exhibit and vegetable luncheon; (2) to further the Junior 

 gardening work. 



The following institutions have donated prizes: The San Francisco Call, 

 the Morse Seed company, San Francisco; the California Seed company, San

EDITORIAL 



What best thing have you done this month, this week, today? Do 

 you know the great difference between a man of success and a man of 

 failure? One sees and does the best things as a boy, the other wastes 

 his time on matters that do not count. 



It is a small accomplishment to grow a radish, to have a garden, 

 but it is a feat to be proud of to grow the best radish, to have the best 

 garden. After all, so many are lagging behind that it is quite easy to be 

 the best in some ways, if not in all. Just think a little more and work 

 a little harder, and the best garden is yours. If you are asked to clean a 

 path, clean it well; if you drive a stake, drive it straight. Whatever task 

 is set you, do your best. 



We feel quite sure that the Junior gardener who is conscientious, 

 thinks most and works> hardest, and who therefore grows the best radish, 

 is going to make the best man, for he will ever be dissatisfied with any- 

 thing not the best. He will not only do his best, but will look for the 

 best. He will read the best books, he will look at the best pictures, he 

 will select good companions. Such a boy will make the man that he 

 wishes to be. If a girl wishes to be a good woman she must do these 

 things, too. Boys and girls, it is the good man and the good woman 

 that do most and that are loved most.
