The Art of Growing Flowers 7 



when if easy-growing plants were attempted at 

 first, the knowledge gained by working with them 

 would be a good start toward caring for the tender 

 plants. Many of the less hardy plants are most 

 beautiful, and it is well worth one's while to spend 

 time on cultivating them. 



So let us hope that America is coming to the 

 adoption of gardening as her art. This is an art 

 every housewife can practice while about her 

 daily work, and the cheer she receives from watch- 

 ing a tender young plant begin to take on growth 

 will help wonderfully in creating the right kind 

 of home atmosphere for her family.
