 keep them primed back. They are 

 watered every day during the dry 

 weather. Any advice given me will 

 be appreciated and acted upon.

REMEMBER THIS NEXT SPRING. 



One spring I got the best chrysan- 

 themum seed catalogued, planted 

 them in rich garden soil in a box four 

 inches in depth. I marked the soil in 

 rows each way, an inch apart, putting 

 one seed at each cross. When the 

 tiny seedlings were showing the third 

 leaf I transplanted to cans and boxes. 

 When nearly four inches high I 

 pinched out the top and put in the 

 ground in a well-prepared bed. I 

 pinched them back all summer and 

 lifted in August. I had fourteen 

 blooming plants, and som^e of them 

 were as beautiful as any I ever 

 bought. They were admired by all.

VIOLETS FOR SHUT-INS ALL THE YEAR. 



How do I care for these sweet- 

 scented beauties that God has given 

 me, though confined in the walls of 

 my room, solitary and alone? As I 

 look around I see on my center table 

 my bouquet of these little beauties. I 

 gathered sand and soil for them last 

 fall and placed them in a little 

 wooden box with lumps of coal for 

 drainage. They are peeping out with 

 their sweet blue heads above the box, 

 seeming to say: "I spy you lying 

 there on your bed of affliction. I came 

 to cheer you up, so stop repining and 

 rejoice." They should be kept cool 

 and damp. They will surely repay 

 you with their sweet fragrance. In 

 your room they are sweeter than all 

 the roses. I prefer California violets.
