He • was a ten -year-old boy, with a freckled face and patched clothes, His feet were bare, his cap wag torn; but the sun was warm, the sky was blue, and he was (say as the robin singing in the maple -tree across the street, Peter was dig - 'ging with a stick in the bare, brown earth by the side of the little board walk that led to his front -yard gate. Ho was pretending to make a flower Led. Down the street 'ame Miss Ray, Peter's teacher when school kept. It was the spring vacation now, "Good morning Peter !" she said, "What are you planting" 'Roses,'said Peter, "and pan- sies, This stick is a rose -bush — red roses. These stones in a row are pansies." "Why don't you plant some seeds?" "I haven't any money to buy them," said Peter. "You may Moine over this after- noon for an hour to clear up my yard, and 'Il pay you ten cents, said Miss Ray. "Then you can buy •a package ot mixed flower seeds— 'Wild Garden Seeds,' they are sometimes called. Pll show you how to fix the ground and plant the ;merle. You can't get roses and lilies that way, but you can get pan- sies and ever so many other kinds of flowers." Peter's whole face smiledas he said, "Thank you, Mies Ray." Then }'e looked doubtfully at the stick he was digging with. 'It won't make a very big hole," he said. "It doesn't take a big hole to plant seeds in," said Miss Ray, "but the ground has to be dug up first to make it loose and soft, so the tiny rootlets can push through it. I'll let you take my spade and rake this afternoon, and we'll see what you can do." Every clay after that Peter work- ed in his garden, and every day Miss Ray came to see how he was getting along. First, he spaded up every bit of the garden so it was lease and soft as far down as his spade could reach. Next, he sprinkled on some plant -food which Mete Ray let him pay for by work- ing for her. Then he raked his flower -bed until it was smooth and fine. Then, 0 joyl it was ready for the scede. The seeds were of all shapes and sizes. There were more than twen- ts different kinds. Miss Ray and Peter sorted them by their size, and separated those that had many of a kind. There were a great many kinds which neither Miss :Ray nor auy of the neighbors knew. Peter planted the big seeds far apart along by the fence; he plant- ed the middle-sized ones in raves or Musters through the middle of the bed; the fins, tiny seeds he planted near the walk. For the big seeds he made a hole one or two inches deep, and dropped one seed in each hole. The middle-sized ones h.: put in little holes near together, from one-eighth to one quarter of an inch deep. The tiny ones he mixed with a handful of earth and sprinkled on the ground, then cov- ered them with a newspaper held down with stones until the sprouts appeared. Over the big seeds Peter pressed the ground with his foot, to maze it firm on top; so the air could not get in to dry the seeds. Over the middle-sized seeds he firmed the earth with a little board like a shingle. Over the tiny seeds he pat- ted the ground. gently with his ands. One of the neighbors, seeing how hard he was working, gave him a small watering -pot, and Miss Ray explained that he must sprinkle the ground night and morning, enough to keep it damp, until the plants were up, then water it every day sunless it rained. When the flower plants sprout- ed, weefls came up, too, and these Peter had to pull up without disturbing the flowers. Miss Ray showed him which were weeds — chickweed, pigweed, sorrel, dande- lion, plantain, Mover and witch - grass. "These are the moat com- mon," she said, "but there are ethers that will show they are weeds as they grow, We can't bo sure at :arse which are Weeds whose mixed seeds aro planted." It was heed to have to pull up some of the seedlings, too, but Mise Pay explained that the middle row must be thinned out to as much as three inches apart, to give each Plant room to grow. All rammer long the eeedlinge grew and blosSomed, and when frost -time drew near Miss Ray help- ed Peter dig up e dozen Madan plants, put them in petite and carry them to the schoolroom, where they bloomed nearly all winter long. "I didn't eepposcf you could buy a whole flower -garden for ten cents," saki Peter.
