A CANADIAN GARDEN
BENEATH THE NAPLES
Honorable Mention)

My Dear Aunt Laurie:
Whenever I happen to see pretty
little garden it reminds me Of the cozy
garden I used to have away back east
In Canada. AS soon as the long win
ter's snow began to melt in the spring
and even while the snow was stu
frozen, would be eagerly planning the
many pretty flowers / would plant
At last I would take my little spade
and dig up all the earth. Then would
take the rake and sift all the earth
thoroughly. Now for the pleasant task
of selecting the different kinds of seeds
and plants. My particular garden was
little plot in the middle Of the lawn
round the front of the house. Near
one end was maple tree. Here I al
ways put such things as ferns and vio-
let's, because they do well in the shade.
In the middle + had large rose bush
that was always covered with pretty
pink roses. Near the rose bush was a
variety of different colored pansies.
Sweet peas were always my favorite
flowers, so always had large space
devoted to them. Mignonette, that
sweet-scented little flower, was always
welcome among my flowers, not so
much for it's beauty. but for it's per-
fume. One little square in the garden
was set aside for the wild flowers,
such as tiger lilies, buttercups May
flowers and many others. Near the
wild flowers were a lot of asters. These
flowers are nice because they bloom
when others are fading

about the same time as the vegetables.

of September.
The morning of the fair selected the
best of my carrots, beets and onions.
Then we took them to the tents, where
they were marked, and we were given
a free ticket. The second morning my
friend and l went over to see the dis
play. 1 lost my ticket on the way,
but my friend. who is pretty good
talker, persuaded the man to let us in
There were large tents in which were
long tables filled with all kinds of the
most beautiful flowers and vegetables.
The third day the flowers were for
sale. The rest that were not sold We're
given away to the people and hos

vegetables.
A little later my asters came out fine.
There were large beautiful blue, pink
and white ones. We cut and gave
many of them away They kept on
blooming lovely until the snow came.

California Soil
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 have little garden which mamma
gave to me at the side of the house.
1 raise good many kinds of flowers
and vegetables. This year mamma
gave me some parsley seeds, which I
planted. They are growing fine.
planted some sweet peas, but they are
not growing very well. / got some
hollyhocks, four o'clocks, marigolds,
violets, chrysanthemums and tulips.
Last spring 1 went up to the noun
tains and got some tiger lily bulbs and
ferns, which l expect to come up this
year and make my garden beautiful.
Last year l raised some begonias, but
there was one kind of begonia that
drew the ants and they came up the
pantry window and got into our food,
so l had to pull it up and plant it
somewhere else in my garden. But one
day when we were away one of our
chickens got out and ate it all up, so
| haven't got any more Of that kind of
plant.
Sometimes when my flowers don't do
very we'll l pull them up and plant
some other kinds of flowers and see
HOW lHty Will L DdNtn gut duJ
begonias now, but will have some soon.
l am going to get some begonias from
my grandma. Mamma is going to give
me a crocus bulb. l have got some
China lilies in my garden, but they
haven't bloomed this year yet But
hope they will bloom soon. l have
some Gala lily bulbs in the ground that
haven't come up yet, but 1 think they
won't come up. I have planted some
geraniums and they are growing all
right. 1 am going to ask mamma If
she will give me couple of dahlia
bulbs to plant in my garden. We have
only red dahlias, but l am going to ask
grandma for some other colors of
dahlias to plant. Last year mamma
sent back east to get some gloxinia
bulbs. Two lived and all the rest died.
Mamma gave me one gloxinia bulb.

child can work in, for it makes you
healthy and strong.

love beautiful flower and vegetable
gardens. Last spring l made a fine
bed of earth in our back yard in which
1 planted some lettuce and turnip
seeds in rows. In few days I dis
covered tiny stalks peering through
the ground and then came two small
leaves which opened out and fiuttered
a salute to kind old nature who had
released them from bondage by giving
them sunshine, dew and showers.
Day by day I watched the plants
grow stronger, new leaves appearing
each one larger than the last. Then
I noticed that the first little leaves
that looked so healthy and green at
first had turned yellow and dropped
off, giving way to the new.
One day little bird flew very close
to me when 1 was tending my plants
and took a bath in the fresh, loose
earth; then finding a worm, flew away
to her chicks in the hedge row. Birds
always tend their own babies and give
them plenty of food, so we always
find them well and happy. Another
day when little white turnips had
formed and began to show above the
ground 1 sprinkled my garden, then
went to school. On my return, what
do you think L found? had forgot
ten to feed my pet rabbit and her half
grown baby, and there they both sat
right in the middle of what had been
my turnip bed, not one turnip LEFT.
At first l was angry, but Muggie
looked at me so cunning and seemed
to say: IT knew you did not want
baby Black Ears and myself to be
hungry, so I dug hole under the
fence" was real ashamed and have
not neglected them since. Next year
I shall try another garden and am
not discouraged. but have learned a
great deal from my experience and
will write you again.

to fence in a place for me to have my
flower garden. He made me a garden
that afternoon and as soon as he fin

in it.

pot. 1 put some nice dirt and sand
and mixed them together and planted
the slips in it.

days 1 began to see new shoots appear
on them. I got lot of geranium slips
and planted them next. / think they

them are oxalis, lilac, cosmos, chrys-

anxious for them to come up. They

I have pink and white cosmos; they
are in bloom now and look lovely. I
have a few more delicate plants, which
keep on the porch. Among them are

VEGETABLES ARE PROFITABLE
Finds Excellent Market for Corn
Beans and Cucumbers
First Prizel

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last year while playing under a
shade tree in my back yard 1 found
a cob of corn, and seeing that the cow
did not care for it 1 resolved to shell
and plant it.
1 carefully spaded the soft earth and
raked it over. Then every four feet
or so made hole in the ground with
my finger. In each hole put three
or four. kernels of corn and covered
them over.
In two weeks my corn was quite
high and my mother, seeing success
as a gardener, asked me if 1 could
make use of a bag of beans on the
pantry shelf. I did not stop to say
yes, but soon had the beans out next
to my patch of corn. After a few
hours of labor [ had the whole bag
of beans in the ground.
They did not take as long to sprout
as the corn.
The next day got five cents from
my father and purchased a sack of
cucumber seeds from the seed store
on the next street. I placed them in
the ground next to my beans. By the
time the cucumbers sprouted and be-
gan to grow the corn was ripe. sold
corn to our neighbors and had enough
money to plant new garden.
Most of my profits were spent in
replenishing my stock. 1 now planted
lettuce, onions, squash and horse
radish, which were also profitable.
In few weeks my garden was full
grown, my cucumbers were large and
the onions and lettuce were ready to
be picked and eaten.
The lady across from us bought most
of the cucumbers and the horseradish
and lettuce I did not sell. After few
weeks I realized my garden was a
great success. DAVID SMITH,
