garden owner to work, to play (it really is the 

 most delightful play) in her garden at least 

 for a few hours every day. 



^ What your efforts will give you in return you 

 will marvel at and delight in. It is perfectly natural 

 for women to be wonderful gardeners. Why, do 

 you know that when the citrus industry was 

 threatened with total destruction, it was the 

 Ladybird from Australia that saved it! 

 ^ Of all the flowers perhaps the rose is the only 

 one that is universally admired and loved through- 

 out the world. And how easy it is to grow them! 

 There is only one thing that the rose in our gardens 

 asks for, that is the joy of growing for us. So we 

 must care for them, not in just " a matter of 

 course way." We must love them and watch over 

 them. Do you know of anything more beautiful 

 than a rose^ Do you know of anything sweeter?
