Excerpt from House and Garden's Book of Gardens: Containing Over Four Hundred Illustrations of Special Flower Types, Plans and Suggestions for Landscape Work, a Complete Gardener's Calendar of the Year's Activities, Planting and Spraying Tables, and a Portfolio of Beautiful Gardens

No one yet knows how or why a flower grows. We have discovered radium, and em ployed 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 cran nied 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.
