irrigation, the subject of gardening begins to be reduced to a
scientific and (what is more to the point) a sure basis. We are getting

will help to grow that proverbial second blade of grass. I have only to
add, as I turn again to the problems waiting for me in field and under
glass, that I wish you all success in your work--the making of better
gardens in America.
