Preface 



two weeks later would be found to be the 

 proper season. 



With the turning of each leaf a plan for 

 the work of one week is disclosed, Sunday 

 excepted. Three days are given on each page 

 and ample space is allowed for additional 

 notes for special needs. Used systematically 

 the book will become a useful and perpetual 

 guide and an indispensable hand-book for 

 every day in the garden.
