THE GARDEN
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS

Sacred history begins in garden.
And the Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom He had framed. And
out of the ground made the Lord God
to grow any tree that is pleasant to
the sight and good for food. And
a river went out of Eden to water the
garden" The gardens Of Solomon were
fragrant and beautiful, and molstened
by the flowing or "living" water nee
essary to the very existence of sun
baked Oriental garden. Awake, o
north wind; and come, thou south;
blow upon my garden that the spices
thereof may flow out" Il made me
gardens and orchards. and I planted
trees in them of all kinds of fruits:
made me wells of water, to water there
with the wood that bringeth forth
trees" Gethsemane, the Mount OF
Olives, was a place where was gar
den"
Greek mythology tells of the Garden
of the Hesperides. where the golden APP
pies given to Hera at her wedding were
guarded Hera admired them greatly
and begged Earth. who had presented
them to her. to plant them in her gar
den. They were supposed TO be under
the care OF the Hesperides. daughters
of Night, but these young guardians
proved careless, so a great dragon with
100 heads was sent for their protection.
One OF the labors Of Hercules was TO
slay the dragonand take the golden APP
piles to Eurystheus.
Another Greek writer tells of the
Gardens of Adonis," which were not
real gardens, but shallow vessels filled
with quick-growing seeds, placed above
the PROSTATE statue of Adonis on the
first day Of the festival held each year
In his honor. On the second day, the
tiny sprouts we're torn up and thrown
away, and the statue of the god cast
into the sea, to signify the@eariy death
of Adonis. The whole festival was prob
ably kind of allegory, syInbolizing the
growth and decay of the vegetation on
the earth. One of the Idylls of Theo-
critus gives a chatty story OF the visit
of two women TO the festival at Alexan-
dria. describing the statue of the god
lying on a couch,
