eQualled by those OF any OF your neigh
bors than TO raise lot of inferior
scrubs that you are almost ashamed to
show. Those who become enthusiastic
gardeners are the ones who try to see
to what perfection flowers and veKe-
tables can be grown, and when they
succeed with one plant try another.
The amateur growing only a few
plants can excel the professional florist
because the latter works solely for profit
and only general care can be given TO
his stock. The amateur specialist puts
all his time on a few plants. watches
and nurses them into wonderful speci-
mems. This treatment and saving the
seeds from the best flowers to plant
another season Is the method employed
by specialists who breed up and improve
varieties. and thus We now have greatly
improved varieties of antirrhinums
sweet peas. &c. Only few years ago the
Gamma was considered a foliage plant
used solely for its broad tropical leaves,
Some one conceived the idea OF working
for better flowers. and by patiently
endeavoring to grow the best possible
flowers from the small Towering va
riety. saving the seeds from the largest
flowers for planting the next year. and
repeating the operation year after year.
a fne large Towering variety resulted,
which afterward "sportrd" and pro-
duced flowers OF slightly different
color. These plants were carefully null
tiplied, the sports cross-fertilized with
other varieties. and the breeding up
process continued until We now have
the beautiful orchid Towering cannas
familiar to all. This would never have
happened II slipshod methods In gar
dening had generally prevailed.
One other point. when you buy plants
or seeds buy the best stock you can
get. Better have few and good rather
than many poor plants.
