| Fo eers season of the garden year brings its 
share of surprises. In spring the bulbs thrust 
lusty spikes of previously formed flowers through 
the damp earth. In early summer the rose un- 
folds in all its beauty; in midsummer shaded 
porches and terraces provide a welcome relief 
from the hot sun. In autumn the fruits of shrubs 
and trees add to Nature’s pageant of color; leaves 
turn color and fall and the hoary frosts anticipate 
another season of rest for the plant world. This 
whole cycle means much to all of us, and each 
change brings new pleasures to those who work 
and live outdoors.
