will not be missed. Then he will not 
grow to be one of those people who, 
saying they love flowers, break a hand¬ 
ful from the center of a fine cluster, and 
after sniffing the perfume, throw them 
away. I do' not call that love; I call 
it license. Perhaps I have led you to 
suppose that I* consider men the great 
offenders. Unfortunately it is usually 
members of the gentler sex who corn- 
met the worst atrocities. Is it not more 
often a woman who will stand talking 
to you while her restless fingers break 
and crush the leaves of your finest 
shrubs? And is it not also a woman 
who coquetishly nibbles a rose, or dain¬ 
tily pulls the petals one by one from an 
exquisite dahlia, while your heart quiv¬ 
ers with the sacrilege of it? Most men 
feel clumsy and awkward before the 
delicacy of a flower, or their ever-pres¬ 
ent instinct of superior strength makes 
them gentle with so fragile and help¬ 
less a creation. 
Let us learn truly to love and respect 
nature, and to share our happiness with 
others. We shall be amply rewarded, 
for our gardens will be more beautiful 
and our hearts richer. The spirit of the 
Giver of all good gifts will be ever in 
our work. God walked in the first 
garden—let us be sure He walks in ours.
