GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
hock roots, which you can plant in a circle big 
enough to hold your little club. Leave an open- 
ing in the ring just big enough to enter through, 
and before the season is very far along, the holly- 
hocks will be tall enough to screen you from the 
passerby. The hollyhocks sow themselves, and 
come up every year, and hybridized by the bees, 
show different colors every season. Better still, go 
to the woods for a lot of brush, stick it in the 
ground to form a square room, and cover with a 
brush roof. Over this you can train wild honey- 
suckle, which you can find in lengths of ten and 
twelve feet. Or you can buy a package or two of 
the Varigated Japanese Hop, which will grow ten 
feet in a month or six weeks,—and sowing itself, 
come up and cover your house every year. 
A garden club proves a source of pleasure 
through the winter, too. You can go on with the 
care and cultivation of house plants, and the grow- 
ing of all kinds of bulbs. You can meet regularly 
at the different homes, and have the members pre- 
pare and read little papers such as ‘‘How to Grow 
Roman Hyacinths in Water,’’ ‘‘The Best Flowers 
for a Window-Box,’”’ ‘‘Raising Plants from Cut- 
tings,’’ ‘Starting Seeds Indoors,”’ ‘‘How to Make 
a Table Water-Garden,’’ etc.
