It has a Merry Christmas, Hurrah for the Fourth of July tinkle of joy. The instinct to mingle with the soil evidences itself in the mud pie stage of childhood as we grow older we merely make many more, and much more beautiful mud pies with frosting of perfumed color, and call it Garden. No one ever entirely grows up who lives in a gar den. I feel sure almost all gardeners still believe in Santa Claus and as for fairies, was it not in Kensington Gardens that Mr. Barrie discovered all the wonderful facts about Peter Pan Perhaps it is the help of the Little People that makes gardening so easy for mortals. I know many professionals try to scare one with all l sorts of bugaboo theories of the difficulties of flower culture but to refute this, we only have to take a drive through the outlying districts of the town where theworkmen and washerwomen - the so-called humbler citizens - live, and the prodigality of bloom surrounding each busy doorstep will soon show us what wealth even the supposed poor may own, without adding extra burden to their tired backs...Versandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]<
