OUR MOUNTAIN GARDEN 



whether it be great or small, whether it 

 contains acres of rare plants, or consists 

 only of touches of colour on a bleak 

 mountain side, it will bring to her who 

 works in and loves it, and is intimately 

 acquainted with its life and growth, peace 

 and contentment of heart, an absorbing 

 interest of mind, and health and vigour of 

 body. And when the call of duty brings 

 her back in the autumn to the strenuous 

 life of the city winter, she will find herself 

 so strengthened and refreshed by her long 

 summer of contact with nature, that life 

 will have a new meaning to her, and she 

 will bring to her work, whatever it may 

 be, a new earnestness of purpose and 

 sincerity of heart.
