THE GARDEN SECRET 
No one yet knows how or why a flower grows. We have discovered radium, and 
employed delicate and terrible natural forces to fearful ends; but we are as far from 
knowing that as ever. Still, as the present writer once had the honor of saying: "A 
grass-seed and a thimbleful of soil set all the sciences at nought." Still Tennyson's 
' 'flower in the crannied wall'' baffles all the pundits. 
Unless you feel like that about your garden, you might as well have no garden. 
Indeed, you have no garden. You may have a dozen gardeners—but that is another 
matter. As a general rule, one may say: the more gardeners, the less garden. For the 
real garden is born, and very little made.
