THE JOY OF GARDENING is the reason 

 behind the fact that this has become America's 

 most popular hobby. It has been said that, un- 

 like most other diversions or leisure time activ- 

 ities, a garden and flowers are working for you 

 around the clock — even when you sleep! The 

 growing grass, the lengthening stem, the swell- 

 ing bud, all are working 24 hours a day to reach 

 that state of perfection you have dreamed about 

 and hope for. What greater or more satisfying 

 thrill than to walk out into the garden in the 

 early morning and behold for the first time the 

 first bloom of a new variety, be it Iris, Rose, 

 Peony, Gladiolus, Dahlia or any one of a thou- 

 sand and one others!
