" Let us sigh with gratitude and read the volume with delight For here it all is, — 

 what we should plant, and when we should plant it ; how to care for it after it is 

 planted and growing ; what to do if does not grow and blossom ; what will blos- 

 som, and when it will blossom, and what the blossoms will be . . It is a 

 good book, a wholesome book."
