The Interest Increases 



Dear Gardening Folk: 



I am so glad to have all your pretty letters and 

 when I look over our membership book, it makes 

 me happy to realize that all boys and girls whose 

 names are enrolled are having good times this 

 beautiful summer's day, watching and working 

 among their flowers and vegetables that have grown 

 all the way from tiny seeds to beautiful plants that 

 bloom and bear wonderful blossoms and fruits. 



Here is a letter full of sunshine and laughter 

 that proves our Club a nice one for young folks to 

 belong to: 



Dear Lady Greensleeves: 



I have been so busy trying to make my garden the prize 

 winner in Iowa that I haven't had time to write you all about 

 the good times I have had. When I earned my first $5 to 

 begin my garden. I was so happy it seemed I couldn't wait 

 to get the ground ready to plant the seeds; and when I had 

 sown them, it seemed ages before they came up. But they 

 d ; d — and Oh, how they grew — and now my garden is, I 

 think, the finest in the town. I want to win a prize if I can; 

 do you think I will? I am working all the time and have 

 $10 saved; mother buys vegetables from me instead of at 

 the shop. I hope there are lots of boys and girls who have 

 enjoyed being a gardener as much as I, and I want to be a 

 member oi your Club as long as I live. 



Lucille B. 



So you see Lucille wants to be a life member! 

 Well, that's what gardening does for us — makes 

 us want to do lovely outdoor things all our lives. 



Dear Lady Greensleeves: 



One of my classes of fourteen boys and girls are all members 

 of The Young People's Garden Club and I have watched their 

 work this summer with great interest. Your theory that boys 

 and girls appreciate more highly something that they them- 

 3clves earn, is a true one and I believe that your Club will 

 solve the problem of children's garden work that has been 

 such a bard one to meet. Many schools have children's gar- 

 dens, it is true, and as many do not; and there are thousands 

 of children living in homes where there is abundant ground tor 

 cultivation, who never even know the joy of tending flowers. 

 I want to thank you for your work in showing the children 

 the deUght in earning money with which to make a garden 

 I am fully convinced that you are on the right road in this 

 work. 



A High School Principal. 



I received many such letters from teachers and 

 here is one from a superintendent of a playground 

 association: 



Dear Lady Greensleeves: 



I was enthusiastic from the first in regard to The Young 

 People's Garden Club and I hastened to interest one of my 

 bright young women teachers, and gained her assistance. 

 We began by forming the children into groups of ten and 

 explained to them about the Club. They were eager to begin 

 work at once; the thought of making money was attractive 

 to them. It did not take long after you accepted us as mem- 

 bers to secure enough money to begin our gardens. 



We rented lots near each playground and put groups of 

 twenty children to work. We have now a total number of 

 120 children, very busy, very brown and very happy — ws 

 always shall be glad that Lady Greensleeves permitted us 

 to join her Club. 



If you are a grown-up and interested in young 

 folks, think up some plan to interest them in our 

 Club. Write me and let me tell you all about it. 

 We need your help to reach all the boys and girls we 

 should. And if you real boys and girls have never 

 earned money and you want to know how, just 

 write me and I will tell you how; and how it is 

 possible to yet have a lot of lovely plants although 

 it is mid-summer; and then, you know, there are 

 the window-boxes in winter. 



Don't forget that September is prize month. 

 Yours for the beautiful outdoors, 



Lady Greensleeves.
