224 A LITTLE GARDEN THE YEAE ROUND 



hatchet in hand, to chop down any wild cherry- 

 trees in the neighborhood if, in the season just 

 passed, they harbored tent caterpillars, the 

 pest to which the Wild Cherry so generously 

 offers hospitality. 



December indoors will find us busying our- 

 selves with planning the Yule-tide decorations. 

 It is then we will wish that our gardens could 

 yield us some of the things that go towards 

 brightening the setting of the holiday season. 

 The red hips of the Rose bushes and the Ever- 

 greens we need will remind us to make another 

 season more provident for our Christmas time 

 intentions and why should we not spare holi- 

 day greens from our indoor stock for trimming 

 the sundial, the quiet fountain or the garden 

 seat? Surely Christmas is everywhere, in- 

 doors and out 1
