. How to make the garden pay [microform]. Gardening. tl 10—How to Make the Garden Pay. from old-time and old-style gardening; how the gardener can elevate himself above the slave-work of former days, and make his labors light and pleasant. Knowledge is oower. The former servant of the soil can and should make himself • Master of the Situation. While in the following pages I shall attempt to teach the whole of the art, in the aspects that have been revealed to me during long years of practice, study and experiment, and propose to conform these instructions with the needs of the new beginner, both in kitchen and market gardening, I am quite certain that even the experienced horticulturist can find new truths and valuable suggestions in it, and it will pay all—novice and expert —to look these pages over carefully. Any one of my readers who thus far has remained in the old ruts, let him turn over a new leaf and try the newer ways that I point out; for gardening, like life is what you yourself make of it—a paradise of pleasure or a veritable sheol of drudgery. You have the decision in your own hands. You may leisurely accompany your visitors through the well-kept grounds that are beaming with thrifty, sparkling vegetation, as your own countenance is beaming with pleasure and satisfaction, and that is as free from weeds as your face is free from care; or you may crawl through the beds on hands and knees piling up stacks of weeds, with a face sour and distorted in hatred of yourself and the life you are leading. My instruc- tions, if faithfully followed, will insure you the former conditions, and save you from the curse of the latter. I am not dealing with flowers in this work; hence shall not attempt to use flowery language. We have to do with plain substantial things, matter-of-fact conditions, and simple truths. /An these pages a plain everyday farmer and gardener, not a '* Professor of Horticulture, " speaks to plain every-day people, and the language use
