Of course, people who live in tho country, or in small towns, where they have a generous space for a garden, will do many more things for their families thereby than they who have but a few square feet for the garden. Even people who live in closely set tled cities, where there is nothing but an ash barrel or garbage can for a background, have made the barrel to blossom like the rose.
