But where the ground in which they stand is heaped into mounds, a large part of the rain is carried away from the plants, with the common result of a parch- ing arid withering that make the flower-garden too often anything but a pleasant object to look at. Time and labor are, for the most part, wasted which are employed in constructing mounds or beds of fanciful or elaborate pattern for the flower-garden. These may please at first by their evidence of care and good intention, but they... are difficult to keep in their proper shape. The very work of cultivating the flowers, as well as the tread of feet in visiting them, tends to impair the perfectness of their shape, and unless this is preserved, they cease to please. In this case, as in so many others, simplicity is better than what is more elaborate and expensive. Our costliest things are not the most needful nor the most satisfactory. If we want flowers, we can have them ; the poorest can have them. No heaping-np of mounds or elaborate shaping of ground is necessary.
