Peter O'Brien was happy. 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

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.
"You can't," laughed Miss Ray,
