reason that "Summer Planting" holds out helping 

 hands. Of course in our cold frames we keep lilies 

 ready to transplant where needed, and asters fill in ac- 

 ceptably late in August; but in this pamphlet are won- 

 der-working possibilities. Who could resist them? 



I suppose that everyone's flowers are more or less 

 like his neighbor's, but whenever I look at mine spread 

 before me like a glowing carpet in the upper garden 

 or watch the gardener as he comes through the shadow 

 and the sunshine of the long pergola carrying huge 

 baskets overflowing with richly colored blossoms, I have 

 a feeling of especial pleasure and exult in the thought 

 that these are mine.
