Since these are old-fashione<i they j have now become the “garden aristo crats’’ because they have been loved and admired through the years. When we have a garden of our owp the plants we grow become all' the lovelier because they are our very own—the results of our own thoughts and labor. Another joy to be derived from such a garden is that of shar ing our plants with our friends. Most plants need such division at Regular intervals. Then, too, our own borders become all the more intere.sting be cause of the plant.® our friends have given us. We should have as our aim to keep the old flowers we love best, but also to study the catalogues and from time to time add to them some new and improved varieties.
