Sages and poets have always found
consolation and fresh strength in the
contemplation ,of the beneticent pro-

agcry at last finds It's source in some
thing akin to gardens. Theocritus in
his idyls and Horace In the beautiful
songs from his Sabine Farm learned
the magic OF their words from gar
dens; and Bacon sought there relief
from the cares of state. Thoreau and
all the long line of philosophers down
to the mystic Maeterlincli have sought
in gardens contcntment and the truest
answer to the conundrum of life.
But the charm of gardens rests in
something deeper than philosophic
meditation. Man began MS n husband
