A GARDEN PERSPECTIVE.
Some Thoughts Suggested by an In
spectiOn of Seed Catalogues.
Boston Transcript.


Ever since the days of Adam at least,
mankind has been divided into two classes:
those who garden and those who do not.
Adams ancient guild has always been pop
ular, and it seems no less so now in this
latter end of the nineteenth century than
when Semiramis-if she it was-planned and
built the famous gardens of Babylon; or
Pliny indited letters to his friends from
Tusculum and Laurentina: or Bacon. and
Walpoie, and Addison, and Evelyn wrote de-
lightfuly of gardens or gardening in Eng
land. The tribe is, indeed, both large and
season, is already impatient to be afield
with its partner, the sun, who returned
from his wanderings, is now SO high in the
heavens as to have settled already the fate
of winter.
Doubtless to the unsympathetic eye there
is little in the alternate mud and ice of
earliest spring to indicate the opening OF
the season. But those in the secret know
very well that there is much to be thought

to make their first appearance among us.
and arrangement of the coming campaign,
the selection of seeds and plants, orders to
be sent to nurserymen. and the starting in
boxes OF such seeds as require long sea-
son before maturing. Things press forward
with such rapid strides, when once the
happy moment for actually taking the field
arrives that unless well-digested plan is
ready in hand, the hurry and stress of
work are not unlikely to cause some blum
ders and more or less confusion. The elab-
crate catalogues, so abundantiy forwarded
by the seedsmen at this time. not only serve
TO hint at the duties of the hour, but fur
nish helpful lists of things to be considered
and provided for. One may probably re-
call the results of last years operations,
and possibly thereby improve upon the Sc
lection of crops. the proportions of each or
the order in which it IS desirable to have
them mature. The mistakes of one season
may indicate the path to success the next.

can be well disposed of from day TO day.
The appearance of the garden may also
. be legitimate matter of consideration
when the summer campaign is being
planned, and perhaps charted upon paper.

cealed from general view should this be
