 since the spring of 1921. Iinmodlntcly following 

 the Mar. wo fcmnd a slitrht n-action against the 

 (■liildrcn'H g.irdi'n work. Imt imw tlu're is an in- 

 iTcasod sentiment in favor of it. We are em- 

 phasizing I'spiM-lally the educaliunal values, men- 

 tioning as well the Uealth and econoinic valUL^s 

 for tho children. 



I am delighted with your pl'otographic sliept 

 wliich .vou have mailed out, because I think it 

 is a Bpli'udid effort on the part of Aim-rican 

 Horists. Fifty-two per cent of the iMHiple of 

 America live in urban centers. To have them 

 prciiicriy inlerestod in flowers and vegetables, 

 they must l>e able to grow and c.ire for a garden. 

 And to care for a f;ardi'n they must know how. 

 Such kniiwlcdge is available for few unless it 

 Is aciiulrcd in the school garden. 



In pronioling thia work your society Is doing a 

 helpful aud worth while piece of work, I trust 

 it will continue a vigorous campaign for school 

 garden work. If there is anylliiug we <an do at 

 any time in aidijig this promotional work, do not 

 hesitate to call upan us.

What I Saw 

 Through the Eyes of a Potato 



Happened to be going by Farmer Fci. dies' potato patch t'other 

 ilay and drew ui) to have a < hut. 



He was having a fi'w frank words with liLs man, which ho 

 tini.<iheii to the liiiislied en<l, before in as much as said howdy. 

 This i.s what 1 overheard: 



"In all my twenty years of exi»eri«-nre," his man reirijirked, 

 'no one ..ver told me to plant potatoes that way." 

 "KxperieiK'e'.*" replied the faninr. ■ Vdu've riev. r had anv 

 e.\perietice. All you've had in pnictice. 



'You've just kei)t right un for L'O years planting potatoes the 

 .siiino way you planted the lir.st one you ever planted." 



Then he turned to nie and said: "Can you beat it, George? 

 Tho very reason that fellow is a day laboier is because he ha.s 

 never got an,> tiling but |ini«'ti<'e out nt what he'.s done."

"Are you Just priirticltig or experienciiigr from your experi- 

 ence?" 



Tho ne.\l day I got tho boys together and we made some 

 mighty beueiicial changes for bettering our K. T. D. methods, 

 changes that will help you and help U.S. 

 In fait, if thev itidnt help you, they couldn't hell) us.

f.'i]it iotis i(\ie\'.Tr in his se.'irch for de- 

 lects. 



Only a few of the articles in the an- 

 nual were written purely from the point 

 of view of the trade f^rower. The bo(d<, 

 like the membership of tho ;issociation 

 it represents, is partly cinninercial and 

 partly .'iinateur in its ch.'iracter. Yet 

 there is no rashness in saying that most 

 of its diajiters were written by exjierts 



- either cominercial or noncommercial 

 ex]ierts. The contents of the book as a 

 whole, also, are of such a nature as to 

 lielp the amateur grower and the pro- 

 fessional grower to see horticultural 

 ni.'itters through each other's eyes — a 

 great visual achievement, indeed. By 

 that means each grower obtains valu- 

 able enlightenment that would not be 

 •iv.'iil.'ible in .'my other way. Moreover,
