OUR CHILDREN'S GARDEN 
COLLECTION. 
There is need for a spot in the garden that 
the little ones can call their own, where the 
daintiest, sweetest flowers, easy of culture, 
and of rapid growth, can be grown for their i 
special enjoyment. Nothing appeals so in- 
stantly to a young fancy as bright colors and 
beauty of form and the influence on the mind 
when in its most receptive state, of a con- 
stant association with nature and its beau- 
ties, will be found to create beneficial impres- 
sions lasting a lifetime. Not only is the love 
of the beautiful and theartistic taste aroused, 
but there also comes a love of order and an 
incentive to work with a noble ohject when 
the child is given a personal interest in the 
cultivation of the garden. With a small ex- 
pense of loving and thoughtful labor, the SrsGLB Dahlia. 
Children's Garden can be transformed into a delightfully attractive spot, overflowing 
with charm and fascination in its quaint, exquisite beauty and forming the most instruc- 
tive of schoolrootus and the happiest of playgrounds. This mixture embraces over 100 
sorts of easy.gro wing flowers most suitable for any bare or unsightly spots in the yard,
