CHAPTER III 



THE SECRET OF THE SEED 



T710RTUNE is said to help those who 

 "*- help themselves, and thus I soon 

 received another enlightenment regarding 

 the growing of green things. 



It will be remembered that a few of 

 my red elderberries were left in the 

 bottom of the basket, like Hope in the 

 box of Pandora, and that by accident 

 they were dried in the sun and shaken 

 out on to the ground hi the fall. They 

 happened to fall on good ground which 

 had been prepared for the reception of 

 grass seed.
