A little garden calendar for boys and girls

About this book

For young gardeners, Albert Bigelow Paine pairs a year’s planting and care with simple lessons in how plants live. Davy and Prue learn by tending small gardens alongside their father, the Chief Gardener. When ants herd aphids on the pea vines, he uses diluted soap to protect the young plants. Playful folklore enters too, as Prue tries out the claim that fern spores can make her invisible.
