The Little Gardens Number 



"I want every single man, woman, and child, who reads 

 this Little Gardens Number, to start right now to make his own 

 garden. If it is only one two-inch pot of soil and a seed from the 

 orange or the apple you are eating, it is worth while. We want 

 America to be all a garden, to be a land of the people's gardens, 

 the mother's garden, the child's garden, and not alone a land of 

 the rich man's gardener's gardens."
