Winter Joys for Garden Folk 
T HE real garden enthusiast is not de¬ 
terred by inclement weather. The 
regiments of winter may march into and 
devastate his gardens and lay siege to his 
very house, battering at the doors and win¬ 
dows. But, though the tools may have to 
be left hanging idle in the shed, and not a 
green leaf is to be seen except the cheery 
plants in the window, the joys of garden¬ 
ing are still available. Snug and warm, 
before an open fire if he is so fortunate as 
to live in the country, the true gardener 
continues to follow his hobby. 
Now is the ideal time to get out all the 
back numbers of one’s magazines, many 
interesting things in which had to be 
glanced over but hastily in the busy spring 
and summer days, and delve in them 
thoroughly at leisure. Even the things 
which one has read will yield a bountiful 
second crop of suggestion and ideas upon 
further perusal. T have made both a 
business and a hobby of gardening for
