Gardens and Flowers.
“God almighty first planted a
garden; and indeed, it is the pur­
est of human pleasures.” Such
was the opinion of the famous
philosopher, Lord Bacon, and we
agree with him. There are few
persons to whom the thought of
a garden is not attractive. The
prince from his palace, and the
peasant from his cottage, look
out with delight on their respec­
tive gardens. Though the one
may contain acres and the other
only a few square feet of land,
yet both are sources of pride and
pleasure to their owners. If they
be true garden lovers, the prince
will not scorn the small plot of
the peasant, nor the latter envy
the lordly domain of the former.
Both will rejoice in the beauty
which each garden presents.
There are gardens and gardens.
There are sacred gardens dear to
the religious soul. i>ke the Garden
of Gethsemane. There the gar­
dens famous in history, as the
hanging gardens of Babylon.
There are national gardens, as
the English garden with its wide
expanse of lawn; the French gar­
den with its formal box bordered
beds; and the Dutch garden with
its fantastically clipped ever-
given trees and hushes. There
are also a variety of distinctions
in gardens namely, dower, kitch­
en, window, front and back,
summer and winter, old-fashion­
ed and modern.
At this season of the year, we
are in receipt of a number of cat­
alogues from florists. We have
spent many a pleasant hour in
the perusal of their pages, and
in planning gardens for our cas­
tle in the air. We have tried to
grow flowers but the result was
nothing like what we had from
from our air or dream garden.
For this has much advantage
over one on terra firma. It does
not cost anything to acquire or to
maintain. It can he any size de­
sired, nor is it subject to the var­
ious seasons and their changes.
