SCHOOL GARDENS. 



(Itpport cit Itcujamin Hainmoiid, cliuirman of

The Society of American Florists held 

 its first oouveiition in the city of Wash- 

 ington in Augnst, 1892, twenty-nine 

 years ajio. At that time one of the 

 most interest iiii; and important papers 

 presented was by .Jolin Farqiihar, of 

 Boston, upon the subject of school f;;ar- 

 dening. Since that time school garden- 

 ing has taken root and grown until it 

 is recognized as an important line in 

 public school work. 



To lielp this work along, this society 

 for several years ]>ast has endeavored 

 to stimulate" interest by addressing an 

 illustrated letter on school garden work 

 to every state sujierintendent fif educa- 

 tion in* the United States and Canada 

 and to the local superintendent, prin- 

 cipal, board of education or trustee in 

 every place where is located a florist 

 who is a member of the Society of 

 American Florists; to do this we ven- 

 ture to say that no $100 does so much 

 jtractical goo<l as the appropriation of 

 our society. The result is that it puts 

 the florists on record as ])romoters of 

 a work which has great practical value 

 in stimulating the making of homes, 

 where there is a bit of ground, neat and 

 pretty. These little g.ardens give value 

 in vegetables .-iggregating :i great sum. 

 In the front yards a little floral growth 

 adds much 1o the appearance of any 

 place. 



In Beacon. X. Y., with 12,0(i0 i)oi)ula- 

 tion, over 6(i0 of the school iliildren 

 took home garden cards and in June 

 and .luly la-t the show of roses was 

 fine on all the home streets. 



In many of the cities of our country 

 from ocean to ocean and in Canada the 

 })oople are giving good attention to 

 school gardening. This is thrifty work. 



In a recent ride of many miles 

 around "Washington city tlie general 

 appearance was good and the interest
