THE  INFLUENCES  of  GARDENING. 
AS  we  pass  along  the  great  highway  of  life, 
if  we  use  our  reason  and  instinct  aright, 
how  clearly  do  we  see  that  each  step  is  beset 
with  trials,  temptations,  and  dangers.  Mingled 
with  these  drawbacks  there  is,  I  think,  in  the 
hardest  lots  some  opportunities  for  enjoyment, 
and  I  doubt  not  that  many  will  agree  with  me 
when  I  maintain  that  to  a  great  extent  it  rests 
with  ourselves  to  secure  a  fair  share  of  life's 
enjoyment.  When  once  we  fully  recognise  that 
trials  must  be  patiently  borne,  difficulties  over¬ 
come,  and  dangers  averted,  we  are  stimulated 
to  action  and  frequently  find  pleasure  when 
upon  the  surface  only  trouble  was  apparent,  for 
it  is  in  the  process  of  overcoming  the  difficulties 
of  life  that  new  fields  of  interest  are  opened. 
Granted  that  this  is  so,  then  assuredly  many 
gardeners  will  mentally  exclaim,  “  In  truth  we 
ought  to  be  a  happy  class,”  for  we  have  to  know 
something  of  the  principles  of  many  trades  and 
professions,  and  in  using  that  knowledge  we 
have  endless  opportunities  for  the  display  of 
ingenuity  and  resource. 
We  want  the  ideas  of  an  artist  to  enable  ua 
to  pourtray  when  laying  out  a  garden  beautiful 
landscape  scenes,  which  must  have  some  definite 
charm,  as  well  as  due  proportion.  Artistic  taste 
is  also  necessary  in  carrying  oat  decorations  of 
all  descriptions,  as  well  as  in  planning  and  plant¬ 
ing  flower  gardens  and  flower  borders.  These 
things  we  may  perhaps  be  strong  in,  but  they 
will  not  secure  us  from  downfall  if  we  are  not 
thorough  cultivators  of  the  many  plants  and 
crops  grown  in  gardens.  To  be  able  to  accom¬ 
plish  this  we  must  not  only  know  exactly  what 
to  do,  but  be  able  also  to  exercise  method  and 
judgment  in  the  management  of  time  and  men, 
and  thus  accomplish  much  in  bat  little  time. 
Very  watchful,  too,  must  we  be  to  discover  and 
combat  the  attacks  of  insect  pests,  as  well  as  to 
take  advantage  of  the  weather  at  various  seasons 
of  the  year,  so  as  to  regulate  the  work  in  such  a 
way  that  each  operation  is  performed,  as  far  as 
possible,  under  the  most  favourable  conditions* 
Fine  days  at  this  season  of  the  year  mast  be 
made  the  most  of,  as  opportunities  for  planting 
.and  doing  similar  work  if  allowed  to  slip  by
