their branches swing in the breeze, like
laughing children at play. The garden
is twenty by forty feet with allowance
for walks between the beds. In this

hands, using hoe and pruning hook, the
harvest of roses is assured. When other

sprays Of clenatis. You must have

of Burbank replied Not drop has
been given the garden; the horses and
cows had to be given drink, and our
wells We're almost dry. What is the Sc
cret? Oh, We ladies of ease, who buy
your roses ready and cut, from the for
list, and complain that you can not grow
roses, because of local conditions go
out into the garden in the sweet o the
day when. the dew is softening the soil,
put love into your work. and work You
