Excerpt from House and Garden, Vol. 20: July, 1911
There is a far better and shorter road to a successful flower garden for the novice than that which lies directly through the seedsman's catalogue. It is a road leading through that same novice's own notebook. The time to get acquainted with the future inhabitants Of that ideal garden of his is during the whole flowering season. If you yourself must acknowledge your novitiate in gardening, try this scheme Of making the personal acquaintance Of the month's flowering plants and shrubs. Surely in your own neighborhood there are gardens containing treasures with which you might easily become acquainted. Visit them with open eyes and an inquiring mind, and start your notebook now.
