but with the loving care and labour which are 

 their own reward.

 flowers one need never be "dull". 



This book shows the way to this "path of 

 peace," and that, in the words of an old gardener 

 who has worked forty years in one garden and 

 is never happy out of it, " everything will grow if 

 it is properly putt in".
