GAEDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 



The love of nature, whether inborn or acquired, 

 is one of the greatest sources of pleasure, and any 

 scientific knowledge connected with it of inestim- 

 able satisfaction. Carlyle's lament was, Would 

 that some one had taught me in childhood the 

 names of the stars and the grasses." 



It is with the hope of helping both mothers and 

 children that this little book has been most lov- 

 ingly prepared.
