GARDEN MAGIC 



the unknown always entices ; the mysterious always 

 attracts. 



So, once a gardener always a gardener, for the reason 

 that, despite one's best efforts, a glorious uncertainty 

 must ever prevail, let rules and methods be followed as 

 closely as they may. But far and above even this (or 

 gardening might claim no greater fascination than one 

 of the many games of ball) is the love of flowers its pur- 

 suit creates a love that each month makes stronger, a 

 love that each year binds closer. With the love comes 

 knowledge of the ways of plants and flowers, and with 

 the knowledge a conviction that there is so much to 

 learn that one can never hope to learn it all. For these 

 and other reasons, each spring finds the gardener's joy 

 undimmed; the farther he progresses the more subtly 

 is he entranced, and so impelled to probe the problems 

 still unsolved. 



Best of all, perhaps, the gardening experience of one 

 is always different from that of another ; thus, while 

 sharing a common joy, each has his own especial suc- 

 cesses, his own particular failures, and is impressed, as 

 none other is impressed, with the charm of his own 

 home garden plot.
