@ again Spring slips silently in from nowhere — despite 
global war and death and destruction. Once again you are 
aware of an intangible ecstasy that comes of knowing the earth is 
stirring with new life and beauty that is timeless and unquenchable. 
A wealth of gardening pleasure lies ahead of you, emanating 
from a knowledge that your efforts will be well repaid with color- 
ful, beautiful trees and plants blossoming and ripening for your 
pleasure. 
This year, with precious gardening hours at a premium and 
countless duties intervening, we again stress the simple, the easy- 
to-maintain garden. Evergreens, handsome pioneers of the garden, 
form an opulent background and lend charm and grace in an 
unchanging loveliness. For decorative as well as practical purposes, 
fruit trees command particular prominence. 
While our boys fight to uphold all that is priceless to them 
and us, despite the chaos and confusion of their present existence, 
their thoughts must surely revert back to home and the things to 
which they want to return on a brighter day. Perhaps it’s a young 
lad’s remembrance of a house on Elm Street .. . the fragrance of 
white lilacs washed with rain . . . the thick carpet of grass on 
which so many play-filled hours were spent . ..a maple tree that 
grew up with the children who sought shady refuge beneath it. 
Let us at home keep alive and vivid these remembrances—for 
them—when they return home to Elm Street or Maple Street . . 
it could be almost any little street . .
