GARDNER 



THE SAME BACKYARD TURNED TO PROFIT 



Canning and preserving the surplus vege- 

 tables and fruits of the garden, is a home 

 industry in which women and girls are finding 

 wide scope for profitable work. Some practical 

 instructions along this line can be secured from 

 the United States Department of Agriculture. 

 The agricultural departments of the Dominion 

 of Canada and of the several provinces also 

 issue bulletins containing practical suggestions 

 for various lines of gardening. L.M.B.

GARDEN OF THE GODS, the name given to 

 a 500-acre region in Colorado, between Mani- 

 tou and Colorado Springs, noted for its many 

 curiously-shaped red and white sandstone for- 

 mations. Among these are the Cathedral 

 Spires, Balanced Rock, Siamese Twins and the 

 Seal and the Bear. The gateway consists of 

 two masses of red rock, 300 feet high, and only 

 wide enough at the bottom to admit a vehicle. 

 These grotesque masses are the remains of 

 mountains worn and washed away by the winds 

 and waters. A magnificent view of Pike's Peak 

 is obtained from the Garden. 



GAR'DINER, SAMUEL RAWSON (1829-1902), 

 an English historian, author of numerous his- 

 torical works of recognized value. His Stu- 



dents' History of England and An Introduction 

 to the Study of English History are widely 

 used as textbooks in English and American 

 schools. The most important of his works, 

 marking him as an historian of very high order, 

 are The History of England from the Acces- 

 sion of James I to the Outbreak of the Great 

 Civil War, The History of the Great Civil 

 War, and The History of the Commonwealth 

 and Protectorate. 



GARDI'NER, STEPHEN (about 1493-1555), a 

 famous English churchman, who played in his 

 day a role scarcely second in importance to 

 those of Wolsey and Thomas Cromwell. As 

 the secretary of Wolsey he was sent by the 

 king to Rome in 1528 to persuade the Pope to 

 allow Henry to divorce his wife. Though he 

 was unsuccessful in this, and later refused to 

 give up his Catholic faith, Henry continued to 

 shower honors supon him. Under Edward VI 

 he was imprisoned, but Mary restored him to 

 his high place. 



GARD'NER, MASS., a town in Worcester 

 County in the north-central part of the state,
