Abstract
"Flowers should have a place in and around every home at all times, especially when they may be grown in your own yard. The growing of flowers in a garden differs widely from that of vegetables and fruit as to purpose, satisfaction, and achievement. The purpose of vegetables and fruit is food-flowers have aesthetic value. The satisfaction of vegetables and fruits is their palatability-flowers rest the mind and lend enjoyment through the senses of smell or sight, or both. The achievement desired in vegetable and fruit growing is a highly nutritive product which necessitates careful attention to plant food elements in the soil. With flowers, you are sure to have success, although sometimes variable, on any soil and on any location providing you choose the kinds of flower best suited for such situations."--Page [1].
