SPRING IS HERE
At last the enthusiastic gardener will liave cause to rejoice; spring is Rere with all its feast of good things. Weekends will find the business-man hurrying home with bundles of plants and seeds with which to perform. the noble work of improving his home surroundings. With a warm climate like ours, there is no excuse if garden culture is a neglected hobby. The poorest cau cultivate and surround themselves with beauty and colo.ur even if they have to resort to growing geraniums and nasturtiums in benzine tins, and theso are by no means to be despised. Ever since the world begau the garden has been eonsidered necessary to our happiness, and mean and starved is the soul of one who xidicules the idea. He surely is missing some of tho best things life offers. In gardening many a business man finds both a physical and mental relaxation .which but few recreations combine aqd give. This hobby proves the metal of the man and rewards him fairly, according to his work, and those who attend it wholeheartedly will realise the words written by the great poet, Rudyard Kipling: "Gardens are not made By singing, ' Oh, how beautiful,' d,nd sitting in the shade."
