Moral of the Garden.
Nothing teaches patience like a garden. All have to wait for the fruits of the earth. You may go round and watch the opening bud from day to day; but it takes its own time, and you cannot urge it on faster than it will. If forced, it is only torn to pieces. All the best results of a garden, like those of life, are slowly but regularly progressive. Each year does a work that nothing but a year can do. •‘Learn to labour and to wait.’’ is one of the best lessons of a garden. All that is good takes time, and comes only by growth.
