All through the days of childhood the garden is our fairy- 

 ground of sweet enchantment and innocent wonder. 



" E. V. B." 



The child who is garden bred has a happier start in life, a 

 greater love and knowledge of Nature. 



ALICE MOESE EABLE. 



In childhood I never sowed a seed unless it was perennial 

 and that is why my garden lasts. 



EMILY DICKINSON'S Letters. 



" Mistress Mary, quite contrary, 

 How does your garden grow ? " 



" With silver bells, and cockle-shells, 

 And pretty maids all in a row." 



MOTHER GOOSE.
