At the Door 



FLOWERS offer the most inviting field for the amateur, 

 even while they still hold their full attraction for the 

 practiced experimenter. 



There is opportunity for skill in the blending of different 

 shades in a flower^ far greater than the painter's skill in 

 applying colors to the canvas. 



Even the flowers that grow beside my home are always 

 undergoing observation and being tested as to their ca- 

 pacity for further education. So pictures taken in different 

 seasons do not have the same appearance. At the moment, 

 this beautiful rose has the place of honor as the decoration 

 selected for the porch.

The color illustration shorvs the door to Bur- 

 bank's home in Santa Rosa. Does your orvn 

 look anything like this? Have you exhausted 

 all the possibilities for pleasure and beautiful 

 results from knowing about and working with 

 flowers?
