88 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



lemons weighing a couple pounds or more each. 

 A large plant frequently presents flowers and 

 fruit in all stages of development from the open- 

 ing bud to the ripe fruit, all at one and the same 

 time. 



Mention must 'be made here of the bright-colored 

 Pepper plants, the miniature or Otaheite Orange, 

 and we must not forget the Jerusalem Cherry so 

 popular at Christmas time, and bearing a wealth 

 of bright yellow or cherry red berries. 



Of course we will have an abundance of cut 

 flowers in the house when we may, arranging them 

 artistically in vases and in baskets where they will 

 show their 'beauty to the best advantage, and we 

 will grow an abundance of them in the garden, 

 that our supply may not fail during the season 

 of bloom outdoors. We will want an abundance 

 that we may have plenty to share our wealth of 

 beauty and cheer with our friends and with the 

 sick and the shut-in especially. 



In season we will grow a copious supply of the 

 stately Darwin tulips, roses and gladioli in abun- 

 dance, as well as larkspur, asters, zinnias, core- 

 opsis, sweet peas, cosmos, phlox, sweet william, 

 dahlias, lilies 1 , and some others that we will choose 

 from time to time, and all suited for cutting. 



From now on we are going to see to it that our 

 cup is just as bright and beautiful within as it is 

 without.
