O HOME FLORICULTURE 



on this account do not forego the pleasure of growing 

 flowers. Get the best soil you can, and give the plants 

 the best possible care, and you will often be surprised 

 at the result. The love of flowers seems to have a 

 good deal to do with success. Where this exists, there 

 will be nothing left undone to make conditions as 

 favorable as possible for them. The plants seem to 

 understand what is being done for them, and respond 

 by doing their best to reward their owner for the 

 care and attention given. To grow flowers well, you 

 must love them. If you have not this feeling for them, 

 do not attempt their cultivation, for your attempts will 

 surely end in failure.
