The Making OF Garden.

This lie the time of year when the
man with the hoe is everywhere in evil
dence. Sometimes he has rake or
spade or other garden utensil, but his
occupation 10 unmistakable. The
mania for digging in the ground il
waited with the first breezes OF spring
and your Office hardened man 10 first
to catch the fever. For weeks and
weeks he has pored over the seed cata
lOgues with their lurid covers and
startling pictures Of vegetable mon
strosities that never grew since crea'
tons dawn. These pictures are made
to deceive the unwary and trap the
amateur They suggest vegetable hys'
terra, and the man or woman who once
glances into the fatal page Of a seed
catalogue becomes obsessed with de-
termination to become gardener.
To one who is confined in an Office
all day the exercise of garden .mSk-
ing is highly beneficial One of the
difficulties of maintaining ones en-
thusiasm for the occupation is that
many people try TO cultivate too lage q
piece Of ground. II the undertaking
is on too big scale ir becomes labor
instead Of exercise and there is not
half the fun in it. Blistered hands aud
aching back are incidental to the first
few days of gardening, but they yield
TO the general physical regeneration
that comes OF fresh air and healthful
and delightful employment
