IMPATIENS FOR BEDDING. 



What do you think of Impatiens Sal- 

 tan! for flower beds in public places or 

 parks? E. W. S. 



All the impatiens, including Sultani 

 and Holstii, are excellent bedding plants 

 and worthy of increased cultivation for 

 this purpose. Their freedom of growth 

 and persistent flowering qualities are 

 strong points in their favor. In dry 

 weather they will require an occasional 

 soaking of water. I have found a mulch

FLORES CURAT DEUS. 



In a certain well kept garden there is 

 the motto "Flores curat Deus" — God 

 cares for the flowers. Undoubtedly. God 

 "cares" for all things on earth, in that 

 He is solicitous for their welfare, but for 

 a gardener that other motto, "The Lord 

 helps those who help themselves," would 

 be better borne in mind. No amount of 



faith in proverbs will take the place of 

 work! Work and knowing how. 



Many a man has visited some com- 

 petitor's place and admired the perfect 

 condition of everything without in the 

 least appreciating the means by which 

 the results were obtained — he thought, if 

 he. thought about it at all, that it just 

 happened so. But it didn't. It is only in 

 the disorderly places that things "just 

 happen. ' ' 



* ' God cares for the flowers. ' ' But 

 don't leave all their care to Him.
