GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
is too dear!) so the only way out of the difficulty 
is for me to make the lists include all the colors, 
all the heights, all the months of bloom, and then 
impress on YOU the necessity of ascertaining the 
particular kind you want to grow. 
BOOKS THAT WILL HELP 
As the people you would ask might make a mis- 
take about these things, get in the habit of look- 
ing them up for yourself. Go to the Publie Li- 
brary and just see the fascinating books that have 
been written about plants and flowers,—many for 
children and in the form of stories. For real facts, 
though, given in few words and easily found from, 
a complete index in the back, ask for ‘‘The Amer- 
ican Flower Garden,’’ by Neltje Blanchan, or “‘The 
Garden Month by Month,’’ by Mabel Cabot Sedg- 
wick. This latter gives a little description of all 
the hardy plants and flowers, and is filled with 
beautiful pictures. And some of the big seed deal- 
ers and nurserymen get out fine catalogues that 
are really garden books in themselves, chock full 
of information aecompanied by colored illustra- 
tions, which can be had for the asking!
