Several years ago. when Mrs. Harde
vas ordered TO the country with trained
nurses in attendance, she was so weak
she could hardly lift n child's tool. She
had been an invalid for year. But
she was put in a garden and told to go
to work
"My strength came to me, and with 1t
an interest that only a successful ANA
teur gardener will understand" she
said. 81 studied hard and worked hard
visited all the nurseries that | knew
of, and talked with their owners And
now Mrs. Harde can give all sorts OF
information to other amateurs, espe-
cially about roses.
"The amateur should choose roses for
the outdoor garden with great care,
she pointed out. "She should study
their habits, good and bad. because
some roses do have bad habits, and
she should study their needs. Certain
roses grown indoors under glass are
not beautiful when grown outside. And
roses should not be planted indiscrim-
inately.
"The color value must be considered
too. All the delicate pinks should be
put together, and all the gorgeous cop

which was quantity trimmed in nine

ers are beautiful in shape and color"
Mrs. Harde is eager to help the be-
ginner She feels that she has learned
much by her mistakes, and she wants
to help others avoid them. And she
wants. most of all, to see every one
gardening.
81 should like to see every delicate
woman. every man and every boy and
girl taking an interest N gardening"
she explained. 81 am particularly keen
about children. 1t means that they
simply must breathe deeply if they
work in a garden, and that in itself
means a broad chest, strong lungs, and
a straight back. It is an education for
children, too. They learn to count
seeds, to compare them, the names OF
the colors of flowers, and to measure
the height of growth They easily be-
come familiar with flowers, their names
and their habits. and all the time they
are learning they are developing strong,
healthy bodies"
Another Impetus to a SisterhoOd.
Mrs. Harde has found that gardening
brings women together in way never
dreamed of before. "The common in
terest in gardens draws all sorts OF
women together in close bond. There
is a great sisterhood arising because
of this gardening lure. We are all so
interested in the gardens of other
women. and so eager to tell the little
things we have learned through failure
1t is wonderful what a strong bond
this love of flowers forms"

Harde, "and there is less motoring

places. Some of them are going out
early this spring just to oversee the
starting of the garden"
In England, so Mrs. Harde says. gen
tlewomen have always been gardeners.
Their gardens are part of their ac-
cepted life, and the young girl IS
trained to care for her garden as she IS
trained to take charge of the house

an authority on gardening, and the
gardens OF Warwick Castle are proof
of her ability. In a gardening article
she wrote recently she said, "When |

A Splendid Profession.
"And there are many professional
women gardeners in England, too Mrs.
Harde continued 81 have known OF
women who had as many as twenty un-
der-gardeners working under their SUI
nervision. It Is a splendid profession
for a woman. and don't see why Amer
ican women are not taking it up.
have heard there were just two schools
in the country where women may study
gardening as a profession. | hope with
this gardening impetus that has swept
over women will come the honored pro-
fession of women gardeners"
Gardening Shocks a Reason.
In searching for n cause of the gar
dening impetus Mrs. Harde finds at
least one irresistible inducement. That
is the new garden clothes for women.
Wonderful gay colored smocks of blue
and green Holland linen, and fascinat-
ing hats TO match, with hand painted
flowers bedecking them, have been de-
signed by the great dressmakers.
Women used TO associate gardening
clothes with a battered hat, Bingham
apron. and pair of old kid gloves with
the fingers cut off But the gardening
costume to-day is a thing of beauty
/ There are lappy-brimmed, ribbon trim
med garden hats that would make any
face seem lovely, and the garden
frocks are as graceful and pleasing as
any flower in the garden.
There is no reason why woman
should look hideous in her garden
clothes" commented Mrs. Harde, who
is particularly charming in hers. She
wears an old blue Holland linen smock,
like that worn by artists, and the color
sets Off the gold in her hair and the
freshness of her complexion with it.
She wears a side-pleated skirt that al
lows free movement, high brown shoes
with waterproof soles, and a blue
trimmed hat or a frilly white sunbon-
net. "Of all places, one should look
her best in the garden. Where there
are so many beautiful things one feels
obliged to look attractive" And, for
tunately, the newly designed garden

Middlebury Board of Trade
To the Middlebury Register:

10 the Middlebury Register:
The writer is not an officer of the Mid
dlebury Board of Trade, has not attended
all of its dinners and has been of no
great help to the organization, but he
does not agree with the critic quoted in
the Middlebury Record that the organi-
cation has had "too many dinners and
not enough business meetings."
While the organization has failed in
its single year of existence to do many
things which its members hoped it
would do, let US give it credit for what
it has done and boost rather than knock
The organization would justify its
existence if it never did anything but
bring about such dinners as it has held,
with the best men in the State for
speakers on subjects of practical and
immediate interest. If one got no ben
eft from the speeches. the very attend
ance and endorsement of the effort to
promote the common good can but be
helpful to those who participates; it
brings us closer together as fellows of
small community and inc' eases our
interest in its welfare.
The spirit of the "knocker" is just
one additional handicap to an organza-
ton which depends upon public spirit
for success. In Il small town where al
are struggling for food and fuel, men
who have the opportunity and inclina-
ton to do the work necessary to bring
about "practical results are few.
Let us congratulate the Board on the
successful dinners which have resulted
from the initiative of its President, and
express the hope that its committees
will get behind and push the good thing
along the coming year by doing as much
as possible of the work which has been
assigned TO them.
Let the proper committee get the
merchants together in campaign to
show the advantages of trading in Mid
dlebury; the very effort would be a
drawing influence. Less trade will go
to Burlington and Rutland if the resi-
| utlllS VI anu
towns know that the Middlebury mer-
chants are wide awake and aggressive
Let US do everything we can to help
the farmers upon whom Middlebury is
dependent for prosperity. Let us help
them get and support County Agricul-
tural Adviser, if they want one; provide
storage for their products in Middlebury
so that they can be moved and sold to
the best advantage; and if possible ar
range for credit upon their stored pro

UNIFORM APPLE CROP.

The movement for a uniform apple
grading law in the New England States
is gaining ground. Every State WIS
represented at the recent hearing on
the proposed uniform apple-grading law
for New England at the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. One hundred
and twenty-five men were present
growers, distributors and dealers, con-
sumers and representatives of federal
and State departments of agriculture.
The opinion was pretty definitely .ex
pressed that law uniform for the six
New England States is highly to be de-
sired. Only two persons expressed out
right opposition to the measure.
The committee has received letters
from all over New England heartily en-
dorsing the proposed law, most of them
affirming the opinion of the committee
that the law should correspond as
closely as practicable to the New York
law.
In Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire the fruit interests, in co-opera-
ton with the State departments OF
agriculture, have had the bill intro.
duced in the Legislature. 1t is ex
pected that the same step will be taker
in Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode
Island. Fruit interests of Maine are
considering urging amendments t
their apple law to make it conform t.
the proposed law.
1.-The committee believes that it il
wise to have uniform law in the 81,
New England States" said Secretar,
Orcutt, land hopes that if the frui
interests of each State are of the SAM
mind, they will spare neither tim
nor energy to see that proper law i
enacted. The committee will be glad t
render any assistance, such as furnish
ing information as to the various sec
tons and the working of apple grading
laws in other States. Burlingto

Even casual readers of Vermont
newspapers must have noted the
numerous cases within short time of
the terrible scaldng of children. These
accidents, often resulting fatally and
nearly always resulting in soaring or
manning for life, are very largely due
to one cause: Children are left without
proper attendance with pals or other
receptacles of boiling water within
their reach In one case, indeed, the
mother had left on the kitchen floor a
pail of boiling water and, with a two
year-od infant in the room, she left.
It would seem as if most of these acct
dents were due to inexcusable, if not
criminal, carelessness. Rutland News.
