| 19408 | Also, how much will your purse allow? |
| 19408 | And if so, do you love only those parts of it which you never see and the appearance of which you have no power to modify? |
| 19408 | And if you are young and a lover of your country, do you not love its physical aspects,"its rocks and rills, its woods and templed hills"? |
| 19408 | And where did_ civitas_ get its name, when city and state were one, but from citizen? |
| 19408 | Because a garden should not, any more than my lady''s face, have all its features-- nose, eyes, ears, lips-- of one size? |
| 19408 | Because they belong to you? |
| 19408 | But of the really good sorts are there shrubs enough, you ask, to afford new lists year after year? |
| 19408 | But our home gardens, our home gardeners, either professional or amateur, where are they? |
| 19408 | But to have no garden is a distinct poverty in a householder''s life, whether he knows it or not, and-- suppose he very much wants a garden? |
| 19408 | Can you imagine a young man or woman without it? |
| 19408 | Do n''t they do it?" |
| 19408 | Does this seem hardly fair to the first garden? |
| 19408 | For what says the brave old song- couplet of New England''s mothers? |
| 19408 | For who was there to tell them or him that he was not one? |
| 19408 | How could they without tools? |
| 19408 | How much subserviency of nature to art and utility is really necessary to my own and my friends''and neighbors''best delight? |
| 19408 | How much, then, of nature''s subserviency does the range of your tastes demand? |
| 19408 | I lately heard a lady ask an amateur gardener,"What is the garden''s foundation principle?" |
| 19408 | If I describe it I must preface with all the disclaimers of a self- conscious amateur whose most venturesome argument goes no farther than"Why not?" |
| 19408 | If I should, where were my climax?" |
| 19408 | Is the term merely comparative? |
| 19408 | Is the world already artificial enough? |
| 19408 | May I repeat it? |
| 19408 | No? |
| 19408 | Oh, say, can you_ see_--? |
| 19408 | Or do you love the land only and not the people, the nation, the government? |
| 19408 | Or shall we make our plea to an"art impulse"? |
| 19408 | Or, loving these, have you no love for the nearest public fraction of it, your own town and neighbors? |
| 19408 | Otherwise, why do you let us call them yours? |
| 19408 | Shall we summarize? |
| 19408 | To say nothing of prizes, was not the garden itself its own reward?" |
| 19408 | Was he not right? |
| 19408 | Was it not Ruskin himself who wanted to butt the railway- train off the track and paw up the rails-- something like that? |
| 19408 | What makes a man rich? |
| 19408 | What maxim is? |
| 19408 | What shall we do about it? |
| 19408 | Whence comes civilization but from_ civitas_, the city? |
| 19408 | Where to Plant What? |
| 19408 | Whereupon he shrewdly pleads not for the sward but for the flowers,"You have those there to show off at their best?" |
| 19408 | Why is it so often right that a rich college, for example, should, in its money- chest, feel poor? |
| 19408 | Why should New Orleans so exceptionally choose to garden, and garden with such exceptional grace? |
| 19408 | Why should it? |
| 19408 | Will he know the smallest fact about it or yield any echo of your interest in it? |
| 19408 | Would n''t you?" |
| 19408 | You see the difference? |

| 19644 | Mother, why do dandelion clocks keep different time? 19644 Now how did he know his wife''s flower from the other two, for all the three flowers were alike?" |
| 19644 | Oh, Harry; where did you get it? |
| 19644 | Oh, no; it begins with C."Clematis? |
| 19644 | Perhaps you''d not like to be called Old Man''s Beard? |
| 19644 | Shall have what, you oddity? |
| 19644 | Shall you be able to change her mind, to let us have Sunflowers sown for next year, too? |

| 19644 | Well, what o''clock is it? |
| 19644 | What about? |
| 19644 | What are you doing, Chris? |
| 19644 | What are you doing, Honest Root- gatherer? |
| 19644 | What did she say when you brought out the basket? |

| 19644 | Why, how many stockings have you got on? |
| 19644 | Yes, Chris; but what do you want with a hedgehog? |

| 19644 | --and then to Mother,"Why do you keep that sloven of a girl Bessy, if she ca n''t dress the children decently? |
| 19644 | A flower-- you know?" |
| 19644 | Adela asked--"Why is the Old Squire so kind to Lady Catherine?" |
| 19644 | After they had hugged each other, Aunt Catherine said,"Will you take me into the game, if I serve them that have no garden?" |
| 19644 | And Benedict said,"With which line?" |
| 19644 | And I cried to thee,''Who spoke?'' |
| 19644 | And as the boy and he sorted herbs, he cried,"Is there no balm in Gilead?" |
| 19644 | And is the"bedding- out"system-- Ribbon- gardening-- ever fit, and therefore ever fine? |
| 19644 | And the hermit answered,"What said Augustine? |
| 19644 | And then I wondered: Would they wake with candles if they had begun to go to sleep? |
| 19644 | And when the hermit said,"Thou hast done well, and I thank thee; but now begone,"he only answered,"What avails it, when I am resolved to serve thee?" |
| 19644 | And when they were gone, I smote upon my forehead, and said,''Where is the herb that shall heal my affliction?'' |
| 19644 | And where''s the stem of the pine? |
| 19644 | Before I quite gave in, Harry luckily asked,"Was there a Weeding Woman in the Earthly Paradise?" |
| 19644 | But I have, and what do you think it''s about? |
| 19644 | But do you wear flannel, Peter Paul? |
| 19644 | But what''s the good of fighting when you''ll only get the worst of it?" |
| 19644 | But wherefore didst thou not tell me of those fair palms that have grown where the thorn hedge was wo nt to be? |
| 19644 | But-- will you be friends with me?" |
| 19644 | Can I go with Michael and look for him this afternoon?" |
| 19644 | DEAR LITTLE FRIEND, Do you know the little book from which these sayings are quoted? |
| 19644 | Did they look like the picture in the Fairy Book, with their glory leaves folded over their faces? |
| 19644 | Do n''t you know that flowers sleep as soundly as you do? |
| 19644 | Do n''t you think so?" |
| 19644 | Do ye hear? |
| 19644 | Do you remember the picture, Mary? |
| 19644 | Do you think she would spare one, just one?" |
| 19644 | Does your Father know?" |
| 19644 | Have you a Garden- book? |
| 19644 | He said,"Do you hear Saxon, Mary? |
| 19644 | He said,"What_ is_ the matter, Mary?" |
| 19644 | He said--"How are you?" |
| 19644 | Hours are the same length for everybody, are n''t they? |
| 19644 | How are they, and"soldiers,"and other weeds to be extirpated? |
| 19644 | I asked;"are you turning yourself into a hump- backed dwarf?" |
| 19644 | I hope the others are not presuming on your unselfishness? |
| 19644 | I hope you like them?... |
| 19644 | I said,"He was with me in the garden, about-- oh, about an hour ago; have you lost him? |
| 19644 | I said,"Oh, why?" |
| 19644 | I suppressed some resentment, for Christopher''s eyes were beginning to look weary, and said:"Shall I read to you for a bit?" |
| 19644 | I''m hoping, young gentleman, that you''re not insensible of it?" |
| 19644 | If Michael finds him, will you give him to me?" |
| 19644 | If Sunflowers are good for smells, do n''t you think we might tell Grandmamma, and she would let us have them for that?" |
| 19644 | Is it ever"fit"in a little garden? |
| 19644 | Is there no remedy to heal the physician? |
| 19644 | It needs not that I should go to seek thee, for what saith the Scripture? |
| 19644 | It will be all Marigold, wo n''t it, dear? |
| 19644 | It will make it simply perfect; and, kilts do n''t you think? |
| 19644 | Mary, what do you think is written under it? |
| 19644 | Mary, you wo n''t tell tales?" |
| 19644 | Mother looked at Chris, and said,"Why was it, Chris? |
| 19644 | No cure for the curer?" |
| 19644 | Not box pleats?" |
| 19644 | Now, Arthur, what is it?" |
| 19644 | Now, if I save the Sunflowers, will you promise me not to cry to come home again till I send for you?" |
| 19644 | Now, there are owners of big gardens and little gardens, who like to have a garden( what Englishman does not? |
| 19644 | Paul?" |
| 19644 | Presently she said,"Who washes all the white gowns?" |
| 19644 | She knew Parkinson''s_ Paradisus_ quite well, and only wrote to me to ask,"What are the boys after with the old books? |
| 19644 | She said--"Where is Christopher?" |
| 19644 | So I began:"Once upon a time there was a Queen--""How was she dressed?" |
| 19644 | So Mother said,"What''s the matter?" |
| 19644 | Tall, ye know, big beaming face, eh? |
| 19644 | Tell me, is it painted black, with a lot of round holes in the sides, and a little door, and a place like a candlestick in the middle? |
| 19644 | That''s right, is n''t it? |
| 19644 | The Old Squire had taken both my hands in his, and now he asked very kindly--"Why, my dear, why do n''t you want me to give away Mary''s Meadow?" |
| 19644 | The bedding- out system is in bad odour just now; and you ask,"Was n''t it hideous?" |
| 19644 | The bonnet was Marigold colour, was it not? |
| 19644 | The days do n''t go quicker with one person than another, do they?" |
| 19644 | The men went out very quietly, and Aunt Catherine went on--"Where do you think I was yesterday? |
| 19644 | Then he says,''Jael, do you ever taste anything in the water? |
| 19644 | Then the boy cried,"Ah, tell me, my Father, dost thou see?" |
| 19644 | There were very beautiful Daffodils in the Earthly Paradise, but the smallest of all the Daffodils--""A Dwarf, like the Hunchback?" |
| 19644 | Were they awake then, that very minute, like me, or asleep, as I was before Jael came in? |
| 19644 | What is it?" |
| 19644 | What is your name?" |
| 19644 | What then, dear little friend, must be the February feelings of the owner of a Little Garden? |
| 19644 | What''s that got to do with mills?" |
| 19644 | When Christopher had drained it( he is a very thirsty boy), he repeated the question:"Do you think you could be of any use?" |
| 19644 | When we were going along the upper road, between the high hedges, what do you think I saw?" |
| 19644 | Who are they?" |
| 19644 | Who would have thought my shrivel''d heart Could have recover''d greenness? |
| 19644 | Will you forgive me?" |
| 19644 | Would the moon wake them? |
| 19644 | Would they wake with a jump, as I did, if Jael flashed the Rushlight in their faces? |
| 19644 | You could make it of tissue- paper, with stiff paper inside, like all those caps you made for us last Christmas, Mary dear, could n''t you? |
| 19644 | _ Now, good Little Mother, I wonder how you yourself are being entertained? |
| 19644 | and"Was n''t it hateful?" |
| 19644 | asked Chris,"and what was they like when you did?" |
| 19644 | but you are not to give me any trouble by turning home- sick, do you hear? |
| 13537 | ''Is grafting really necessary?'' 13537 ''What are you doing?'' |
| 13537 | ''Will the Junior Garden Club give suggestions and practical help for the improvement of the Oldfield Centre School Grounds?'' 13537 Are we putting the right amount of drainage into these pots?" |
| 13537 | Are you here for all the time, now? |
| 13537 | Back again to what? |
| 13537 | Because it is heat, is n''t it? 13537 But how can the work of the wind and the bees and the birds be improved on? |
| 13537 | But when is the time to put out the hotbed, or indoor- started seedlings? 13537 Could n''t we meet oftener than just Saturdays?" |
| 13537 | Did you ever observe the seed of wild carrot? 13537 Did you make a few cakes of ice and thus have a cold storage plant?" |
| 13537 | Do any of you girls happen to know just where in the school room the boxes are to be placed? |
| 13537 | Do you know what these are? |
| 13537 | George has been testing seed,said Jay,"and he might tell us about it now, could n''t he, Chief? |
| 13537 | Grow any more lettuce and radish? |
| 13537 | Has George found out the time when other seeds lose value? |
| 13537 | Have you any more lettuce than what you can use yourself? |
| 13537 | Have you noticed how water takes definite courses down hills? 13537 How can the good bacteria be encouraged to grow, and the bad ones prevented from forming? |
| 13537 | How deep shall I dig the gutter? |
| 13537 | How do you like my strawberry bed? |
| 13537 | How many more girls belong to this company? |
| 13537 | How many pounds of lime,asked Jack,"to the bushel?" |
| 13537 | How must the small garden be spaded? 13537 How?" |
| 13537 | I say, Chief, do n''t you think some of us might go up to the city and help Philip make the cement pond? |
| 13537 | I see, thank you, and why do you say layer of heat? 13537 I should like to ask,"Dee made bold to say,"where you boys got strawberries to make ice cream of? |
| 13537 | If this is a true story, how can we be so small as always to make money from this garden? 13537 If, then, the chances are so good for renewal of weeds, what is the plan of campaign which we should follow? |
| 13537 | Is there any real percentage of germination that seeds should have? |
| 13537 | Is there nothing for us this winter, O Chief? |
| 13537 | Look,cried Elizabeth,"there comes Jack; what shall we do?" |
| 13537 | May we have those first? |
| 13537 | Not bad? |
| 13537 | Now can we fight these chaps? 13537 Philip, do you know what you are going to do?" |
| 13537 | Question number one: suppose your backyard had been clay soil-- what would you have done with it then? |
| 13537 | Shall we fix up the school window boxes now? |
| 13537 | Take sandy soil-- what is its greatest need? 13537 This question is constantly being asked,''How can I tell what insect is doing the destructive work?'' |
| 13537 | Very well, young man, I wish to know two things: First, where did you get your knowledge? 13537 Well, what is your stock you have to work with, girls? |
| 13537 | What are you going to do with all these, I''d like to know? |
| 13537 | What does the chairman have to do? |
| 13537 | What is a dibber? |
| 13537 | What is a drill? |
| 13537 | What is to be done with the rubbish often found on new garden sites? 13537 What is topping?" |
| 13537 | What pests are likely to attack our plants? |
| 13537 | What shall we do about this? |
| 13537 | What''s that? |
| 13537 | When shall we plant seeds outdoors? 13537 Where did that splendid window box come from?" |
| 13537 | Where did you get all this knowledge, Philip? |
| 13537 | Where''d you copy that stuff? 13537 Who are''_ we_''?" |
| 13537 | Who seconds this? |
| 13537 | Who would wish a wild- flower garden without violets? 13537 Why did he place a bag over the pansy? |
| 13537 | Why did n''t you give some one a rubber plant? |
| 13537 | Why put it outside? |
| 13537 | Why sunflowers? |
| 13537 | Why,questioned Albert, as he picked himself up,"why must poor Albert always do the hard work, while the other fellows stay by the warm fire?" |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Will you tell us about the watering of plants? |
| 13537 | You do not mean that we''ll have to remember and answer questions just like school? 13537 After all is fine and deeply worked, say to about a foot deep, the next thing to consider is this-- how deep should a seed be planted? 13537 After all, boys, since you can put in the tile drain would it not be wiser to do so? |
| 13537 | And also leave one entire row blossoming as it will?" |
| 13537 | And second, where does my pay come in?" |
| 13537 | And then--""And then,"broke in Albert, unable longer to contain himself,"what do you think he gave us? |
| 13537 | Anything more, boys, before the popcorn?" |
| 13537 | Ask your father, will you?" |
| 13537 | But ca n''t I leave just one blossom on each plant to see what the fruit is like?" |
| 13537 | But suppose it is a grand collection of tin cans, bottles and such things as can not be burned? |
| 13537 | But what of that? |
| 13537 | Can you see the beauty of it? |
| 13537 | Can you? |
| 13537 | Come in here and show me how, will you?" |
| 13537 | Did you ever try the Icicle radish? |
| 13537 | Did you find out the amount of lime to use?" |
| 13537 | Did you know, George, that corn is a most exhaustive crop?" |
| 13537 | Discouraging, is it not? |
| 13537 | Do n''t you think I might carry her a plant nicely potted?" |
| 13537 | Do n''t you? |
| 13537 | Do you agree?" |
| 13537 | Do you know that stool can be used over again? |
| 13537 | Do you picture this? |
| 13537 | Do you remember that little sickly boy who was in school last spring? |
| 13537 | Do you see that there was little opportunity then for the seed being blown off the surface of the ground? |
| 13537 | Do you see the good of cleaning up rubbish? |
| 13537 | Girls are not such bad gardeners, are they?" |
| 13537 | Has any fellow a really simple table?" |
| 13537 | Has n''t he a fine chance in the world? |
| 13537 | Have n''t you fellows heard your fathers talk about sour ground? |
| 13537 | Have you noticed how social, but clannish, our wild flowers are? |
| 13537 | Here is a bed of petunias, let us say; do you know just how it is possible to have larger, finer petunias next year? |
| 13537 | How are you to know where they are? |
| 13537 | How can one"fix up"for toads? |
| 13537 | How can they be held down? |
| 13537 | How can you tell when one of these is lacking? |
| 13537 | How could we fix up the grounds so that the little building should have a really attractive setting? |
| 13537 | How much is lime a bushel, Jack? |
| 13537 | How shall we improve a sandy soil? |
| 13537 | I wonder if it has struck you, how really hygienic plants are? |
| 13537 | I wonder why, when people think of transplanting violets, a dull, dark, moist spot immediately comes to mind? |
| 13537 | I''ll do the corn stunt; are n''t you going to, Pete?" |
| 13537 | Imagine a fellow out planting carrots and reading before he sows: The carrot-- a bi-- bi what, biped, did you say, Myron?" |
| 13537 | Is Philip here for Sunday?" |
| 13537 | Is it sturdy, strong, well shaped and symmetrical; does it have a goodly number of fine blossoms? |
| 13537 | Is n''t that right?" |
| 13537 | It certainly is not an acid, is it?" |
| 13537 | It is staggering, is it not? |
| 13537 | It looks well, does it not, boys? |
| 13537 | Just as absurd, is it not, for you to suggest that you can not work on that same garden unless you receive ten cents an hour? |
| 13537 | Just how are you going to work that?" |
| 13537 | Just what was the trouble? |
| 13537 | Manufacturing what? |
| 13537 | Marvelous, is it not? |
| 13537 | May I help?" |
| 13537 | Now boys, how much fertilizer do you think ought to go on this poor land of George''s?" |
| 13537 | Now what is the use of trying on that?" |
| 13537 | Now when I looked at the four- year- old seed, what do you think? |
| 13537 | Now you are probably saying within yourselves, how was limestone first formed? |
| 13537 | Now, George, what do you think about planting a crop that works the soil very hard, especially when the soil you are dealing with is rather poor?" |
| 13537 | Pretty necessary to have in the soil, is it not? |
| 13537 | Pretty poor business, is it not? |
| 13537 | Question number two: suppose you had no sand-- what then?" |
| 13537 | Shall I call all the tables in, Chief?" |
| 13537 | Shall it be screwed to the casement? |
| 13537 | Shall it go on the sill? |
| 13537 | Shall we put on the coarse material next? |
| 13537 | So if your window is large, why not have two small boxes for the space rather than one large one? |
| 13537 | Some violets are found in the swamps, but did you happen to notice what long stems they have? |
| 13537 | Suppose the bag were not on; suppose after he had put the pollen on, the wind had blown other pollen to this same pistil? |
| 13537 | That is pretty bad, is it not? |
| 13537 | That is right, is it not? |
| 13537 | That seems a great deal, does n''t it? |
| 13537 | The backyard garden is a lovely idea, is it not? |
| 13537 | The power which plants have to move is very clearly shown, is it not? |
| 13537 | These things depend largely, do they not, upon one''s point of view? |
| 13537 | To make a wild apple tree with its gnarly, little sour apples into a really truly, well- behaved tree bearing good fruit is worth while, is it not? |
| 13537 | We may as well use the right names; do n''t you think so, Chief?" |
| 13537 | We''ll be glad to have him, sha n''t we, boys?" |
| 13537 | What blossoms shall you decide upon? |
| 13537 | What can we do with them? |
| 13537 | What do you mean by pricking out?" |
| 13537 | What do you mean by succession crops?" |
| 13537 | What does he look like? |
| 13537 | What else are you going to plant, Jack?" |
| 13537 | What is going to happen with that pot already full of soil when you put the plant in? |
| 13537 | What is lovelier? |
| 13537 | What is that you are saying, Dee?" |
| 13537 | What lovelier in early spring than a bed of daffodils close to the house? |
| 13537 | What shall be chosen? |
| 13537 | What shall be done with the sod? |
| 13537 | What shall we do about this school- ground business?" |
| 13537 | What would be the result? |
| 13537 | Whence, then, came the moisture? |
| 13537 | Who wants to be stingy? |
| 13537 | Who wishes to buy dirty radishes or droopy looking lettuce? |
| 13537 | Who wishes to leave a beautiful looking front yard, turn the corner of a house, and find a dump heap? |
| 13537 | Who would wish a Fourth of July dinner without peas? |
| 13537 | Why do n''t you use your hoe right?" |
| 13537 | Why does the size of the seed make a difference? |
| 13537 | Why have all the blooms in August? |
| 13537 | Why is this? |
| 13537 | Why not have some hardy perennials and some self- sowing annuals? |
| 13537 | Why not plant some seed which will produce plants that come up year after year? |
| 13537 | Why not sell them? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Why? |
| 13537 | Will you suggest good things to plant?" |
| 13537 | Will you take us in?" |
| 13537 | Will you?" |
| 13537 | Wonderful, is it not? |
| 13537 | Wonderful? |
| 13537 | Would you think that this gay little beggar was a member of the milkweed family? |
| 13537 | You see the point, do you not? |
| 13537 | and"How do you do it?" |
| 13537 | plenty of water, but how about the air? |
| 48063 | And Davy is the garden- pea and you the sweet- pea, is that it? 48063 And are n''t they nuts?" |
| 48063 | And are potatoes biennials, too? |
| 48063 | And did n''t Bessie want her violets? |
| 48063 | And did the lily ever bloom again? |
| 48063 | And does it belong to a family, too? |
| 48063 | And does n''t the bloom of a blackberry look like the bloom of a plum, and a cherry, and a pear, and an apple, and all those things? |
| 48063 | And how about hickory and walnuts? |
| 48063 | And is that really all that the flower''s pretty color and sweet smell and delicious honey are for? |
| 48063 | And is that what makes some flowers such funny shapes, too? |
| 48063 | And peaches, and apples, and plums, and pears, all on one tree, too? |
| 48063 | And the flower makes three, does n''t it? 48063 And what will you call my rose?" |
| 48063 | And will the flowers that grew in the garden of the princess never bloom again? |
| 48063 | And wo n''t my morning- glories have flowers on them? |
| 48063 | And wo n''t my pansies come at all? |
| 48063 | Are n''t beans of the Pulse family, too? |
| 48063 | Are they Exogens? |
| 48063 | Are we? 48063 But I''d be hungry again before the things grew, would n''t I? |
| 48063 | But apples and plums and peaches are not roses, are they? |
| 48063 | But are the seeds just alike? |
| 48063 | But ca n''t we have all the things we like? |
| 48063 | But do n''t you think it might all just happen so? |
| 48063 | But do seaweeds and mosses and lichens and ferns and mushrooms all belong to one family? |
| 48063 | But does that really grow like our plants on the shore? |
| 48063 | But how can I care so much unless I can see them? |
| 48063 | But is the peach a calyx, too? |
| 48063 | But my nasturtium, Papa, what about that? |
| 48063 | But toads do sit under mushrooms, do n''t they? |
| 48063 | But what about the twining? |
| 48063 | But what became of the wicked Kapoka? 48063 But why do you think they can see and hear?" |
| 48063 | But-- but do n''t you think a flower_ ought_ to be a principal part? |
| 48063 | Ca n''t I have strawberries, instead of the salad? |
| 48063 | Ca n''t the class in botany sit by the teacher? |
| 48063 | Can I, Mamma? |
| 48063 | Can you name the three kinds of plants now? |
| 48063 | Can you see me? 48063 Can you, Davy? |
| 48063 | Can_ you_ see me? 48063 Did they really travel as you have told?" |
| 48063 | Did you find any flowers on the ferns? |
| 48063 | Do n''t you think it''s about big enough now? |
| 48063 | Do n''t you think they look a little, a very little, like wild roses, only the flowers are smaller and white, instead of pink? |
| 48063 | Do poison- ivy and Virginia creeper belong to the same family? |
| 48063 | Do seeds from the same bush make the different roses? |
| 48063 | Do sharks live on plants, too? |
| 48063 | Do sunflowers belong to a family now? |
| 48063 | Do the leaves really take up light? |
| 48063 | Do they fry things? |
| 48063 | Do they raise corn in any other country except America? |
| 48063 | Do you mean for the flower, or for themselves? |
| 48063 | Do you mean me? |
| 48063 | Do you see the difference? |
| 48063 | Do you suppose the poison- ivy knows that it is poison? |
| 48063 | Do you suppose there are any more? |
| 48063 | Do you think all these things like to be together? |
| 48063 | Do you think any other flower could be queen over that? |
| 48063 | Does the story mean that we should n''t care too much for our gardens? |
| 48063 | Here is a flower which has three little petals and four large flower- leaves which you would think were petals, would n''t you? 48063 How about all that seaweed you were gathering yesterday?" |
| 48063 | How about blackberries and raspberries? |
| 48063 | How about the ferns? |
| 48063 | How about the strawberries? |
| 48063 | How deep, and how many seeds in a pot? |
| 48063 | How did she get to be queen? 48063 How long will it take them to grow?" |
| 48063 | How many kinds of seeds are there? |
| 48063 | I wish it would be warm again,said Davy,"so there would be strawberries and nice things to eat in the garden; do n''t you, Prue?" |
| 48063 | Is it, Papa? 48063 Is n''t this flower one of them, too?" |
| 48063 | Is that simple or compound? |
| 48063 | Is the rose really the queen of the flowers? |
| 48063 | It is n''t at all, is it, Papa? |
| 48063 | It''s an Endogen,he said, very decidedly,"is n''t it, Papa?" |
| 48063 | Like Davy''s or mine? |
| 48063 | More than for folks, I mean? |
| 48063 | Oh, Papa, where did you get those funny violets? |
| 48063 | Oh, and can you have more than one kind on a tree? |
| 48063 | Oh, is my sweet rose- moss just old pursley weed? |
| 48063 | Oh, is that why people sometimes call it Indian corn? |
| 48063 | Oh, that will be playing''market,''wo n''t it? 48063 Oh, what makes some of my pea leaves look so dark?" |
| 48063 | Oh, will my morning- glories die now? |
| 48063 | Once upon a time there were two friars--"What are friars? |
| 48063 | Papa, do n''t hazelnuts and chestnuts belong to the same family? |
| 48063 | Papa, is it true that if you put fern seeds in your shoes, nobody can see you? |
| 48063 | Papa,asked little Prue,"have n''t my morning- glories any useful relations, like my sweet- pease?" |
| 48063 | Papa,_ are n''t_ mushrooms toad- stools, and_ do n''t_ they build them to sit on, in pleasant weather, and to get under, when it rains? |
| 48063 | So you have noticed that, have you? 48063 That''s steam,"said Davy, wisely;"but what makes it warm?" |
| 48063 | They did, did n''t they, Papa? |
| 48063 | They went hand in hand, just as Davy and I do when we go walking, did n''t they? |
| 48063 | This is the blade, and this is the stem,said Davy,"but what are stipules?" |
| 48063 | Was there really ever a poor man and a little sick girl who had pease sent to them? |
| 48063 | Well, once upon a time there was a princess with a beautiful garden--"Is this the same princess that turned into a red rose? |
| 48063 | Well, that is a good start, but there are a good many kinds of roots and''bend- overs,''and what are''stuck- ins?'' |
| 48063 | What are in my other little pots? |
| 48063 | What are the little flowers, and the big one in the center? |
| 48063 | What are they, Davy? |
| 48063 | What are they? |
| 48063 | What did they do? |
| 48063 | What do you mean by their working? |
| 48063 | What else have we? |
| 48063 | What is all the excitement? |
| 48063 | What kind of pease were they? |
| 48063 | What makes all the nuts have such big, thick hulls, anyway? |
| 48063 | What makes seeds so different? |
| 48063 | What makes the smoke? |
| 48063 | What makes them all speckly? |
| 48063 | What''s all this about strawberry short- cake and morning- glories? |
| 48063 | What? |
| 48063 | When can we eat it? |
| 48063 | When_ will_ it be warm? 48063 Where did it come from?" |
| 48063 | Where will you get dirt? 48063 Which is my side? |
| 48063 | Who is he? |
| 48063 | Why do n''t you have to plant them every year? |
| 48063 | Why do they call it love- vine? |
| 48063 | Why do you think it is an Endogen, Davy? |
| 48063 | Why do you think so? |
| 48063 | Why, did you plant one, Davy? |
| 48063 | Why, no, are they violets? 48063 Why, no, but-- but do n''t folks have to choose queens, or something?" |
| 48063 | Why, yes, but why did you think so, Prue? |
| 48063 | Will it_ ever_ be warm again? |
| 48063 | Will we_ ever_ have another garden? |
| 48063 | 135"And the apple blossom, too?" |
| 48063 | A real, true fairy story?" |
| 48063 | And if the flower knows, why should n''t the bee?" |
| 48063 | And now what else is there that has the family mark-- we might call it the family seal?" |
| 48063 | And yours, Alyssum, the one we call Pepper- grass, because he is so fiery?'' |
| 48063 | Are my pansies violets?" |
| 48063 | But what''s this? |
| 48063 | But where''s the rest of it? |
| 48063 | By and by she asked:"And do you think I will have flowers for Davy''s birthday? |
| 48063 | Ca n''t I have two pots of pansies?" |
| 48063 | Can you find a buttercup?" |
| 48063 | Can you see me, now?" |
| 48063 | Can you see me?" |
| 48063 | Can you_ see_ me, Mamma? |
| 48063 | Did she just happen to be queen, or did the other flowers choose her?" |
| 48063 | Did you ever notice, Davy, how much a cornstalk looks like an Indian, with plumes, and its ear, like a quiver for holding arrows?" |
| 48063 | Did you make it all just now?" |
| 48063 | Do you think you like that, Davy?" |
| 48063 | How do you suppose they can tell which way to start-- which is right, and which is left?" |
| 48063 | How much farther will it go?" |
| 48063 | IV DID YOU EVER SEE THE LITTLE MAN IN THE PANSY? |
| 48063 | Is it really a sister to that ugly weed?" |
| 48063 | Is it, Papa? |
| 48063 | Is there really anything like nutting to make a little boy and girl hungry? |
| 48063 | Is there, Papa?" |
| 48063 | It''s so long--""What do you_ s''pose_ it was?" |
| 48063 | Now, Prue, why did you think it was an Exogen?" |
| 48063 | Oh, what''s that in the center-- that tall plant? |
| 48063 | Soon he said:"And where do sweet and sour and all the pepper and mustard and horseradish tastes come from? |
| 48063 | That would suit you, would n''t it, Davy boy?" |
| 48063 | The pollen would fall on the stigma anyway, would n''t it?" |
| 48063 | Then with an old knife he dug down into the pot a little, and up came, what do you suppose? |
| 48063 | Those really same ones-- did they ever really live, or did you make it up about them?" |
| 48063 | What are those vines? |
| 48063 | What did they do with him?" |
| 48063 | What else have you brought, Davy?" |
| 48063 | What will we have in those littlest pots? |
| 48063 | When_ can_ we have a garden?" |
| 48063 | Where do all these things come from? |
| 48063 | Where is your brother, Mustard? |
| 48063 | Why do n''t some go the other way?" |
| 48063 | Why, where did Davy go?" |
| 48063 | Why, who is its sister?" |
| 48063 | Will they die?" |
| 48063 | You know, do n''t you, that the pansies you love so much, Prue, are one kind of violet, cultivated until they are large and fine?" |
| 48063 | You see--""But wo n''t my bean vines and corn grow up like that?" |
| 48063 | [ Illustration: DAVY''S POT OF RADISHES]"Oh, may I pick it to- morrow for Davy''s birthday?" |
| 48063 | [ Illustration:"DON''T YOU THINK THE BLACKBERRY LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE A WILD ROSE?"] |
| 48063 | asked little Prue,"just to get bees to work for it?" |
| 48063 | asked the little girl,"where do new roses come from?" |
| 48063 | but how would you have biscuits and shortcake without wheat to make the flour of?" |
| 48063 | he asked,"or Endogens? |
| 48063 | said the one who was limping,''how is it you can walk along so spry, and feel so happy, with those dreadful pease in your shoes?'' |
| 48063 | what do you mean by Stella and Dian?" |
| 17514 | ''Come in and see her, wo n''t you? 17514 ''Do I annoy you by staying here? |
| 17514 | A deal of trouble? |
| 17514 | And what is company? |
| 17514 | And when Ann- stasia brought them up in her ap''n, Dinah walked behind, did n''t she? |
| 17514 | And why should you think that I would deal otherwise by you? |
| 17514 | And you will give me no more encouragement than this? 17514 Are you a travelling jeweler''s shop?" |
| 17514 | Did you find any signs of a chicken house on the place when you first came? |
| 17514 | Do you clear the land as far back as this? |
| 17514 | Have you put in the trowels? |
| 17514 | How could we enjoy a sunset that held the whole circle of the horizon at once? |
| 17514 | How do you like your employment? |
| 17514 | How do you mean to manage? |
| 17514 | How would the place do for the new hen- house? |
| 17514 | I wonder, now, is that a dog or only uts growl ter sind me back in the wet fer luv av the laugh at me? |
| 17514 | Is n''t that what you were thinking, my Lady Lazy? |
| 17514 | Meself, is it? 17514 Or twelve moons?" |
| 17514 | Seein''as yer another gintleman o''the road in the same ploice, what more loike than the misfortune''s the same? |
| 17514 | Shall I go for the doctor? |
| 17514 | Then I may try to convince you that my plan is best? |
| 17514 | Well, Larry McManus,said Bart, cheerfully,"how came you in this barn so far away from Oireland a night like this?" |
| 17514 | Well,I said, extending my hand,"what next?" |
| 17514 | What do you mean, Anastasia? |
| 17514 | What gave you this turn? 17514 What is it?" |
| 17514 | When would you like the lease to begin? 17514 When would you live there?" |
| 17514 | Where is the shade that ferns need? |
| 17514 | Why bother with this, when they are to be transplanted as soon as they are fist up? |
| 17514 | Would a setter pup come in three crates? |
| 17514 | Yes, you''ve always had flowers, but did you pick the sweet peas or did Barney? 17514 You feel better now, Opie?" |
| 17514 | _ Pandora_ Hast thou never Lifted the lid? 17514 ''And who''ll help yer?'' 17514 ''And your wife? 17514 ''Will it spoil now and give yer away, I wonder?'' 17514 ( Did I not tell you that he observes?) 17514 ***** Now to begin: will your shady place yield you a bed four feet in width by at least twenty in length? 17514 After all, are we sure that it is not, in a way, both of these? 17514 After all, what is home? 17514 And does n''t nature''s garden have on and off seasons? 17514 And how about the soil? 17514 And of course Maria Maxwell will not object; why should she? 17514 Are you not thinking about returning to your indoor bed and board again? 17514 As Bart hesitated, I burst forth,Have you ever tended flowers, Larry?" |
| 17514 | Bart laughed, and_ The Man_, gazing around the table innocently said,"Oh, has_ it_ begun, and am I intruding and breaking up plans? |
| 17514 | But how about Amos? |
| 17514 | But is it? |
| 17514 | But muvver, if you are the tumpany, you ca n''t go to sleep when you''ve gone away, can you?" |
| 17514 | But of the wind, who shall answer for it or trust it? |
| 17514 | But one day what do you think happened? |
| 17514 | But what did the point of view matter: he was content and unhurried-- what better beginning for a vacation? |
| 17514 | But why bother? |
| 17514 | Can either you or Evan tell me more of them and why we do not see them here? |
| 17514 | Can you imagine anything more jarring and inconsistent than cannas, castor- oil beans, coleus, and nasturtiums in a prim setting of box? |
| 17514 | Come, which shall it be? |
| 17514 | Cortright, did you say your name was?'' |
| 17514 | Could anything be more in keeping with both our desires and needs? |
| 17514 | Could flowers and a home make up for it? |
| 17514 | Could n''t he have brought you in a few sticks?" |
| 17514 | Could you not bring him down with you before the summer is over? |
| 17514 | Did he accept the offer?" |
| 17514 | Did you know Dr. Marchant, sir? |
| 17514 | Did you put in the lunch?" |
| 17514 | Do they come within my range and pocket, think you? |
| 17514 | Do we really ever learn all of its vagaries and impossible possibilities? |
| 17514 | Do you know it? |
| 17514 | Do you know it? |
| 17514 | Do you know the thing? |
| 17514 | Do you remember the old saying"When away keep open thine eyes, and so pack thy trunk for the home- going?" |
| 17514 | Do you remember the_ Masque of Pandora_, and the mysterious chest? |
| 17514 | Do you understand? |
| 17514 | Does n''t even nature meet with disaster once in a while as if by way of encouragement to us? |
| 17514 | Does the grass look ragged and unsightly? |
| 17514 | Every conceivable tint of green is there, besides shades of pink and lavender in leaf case and catkin, but what dominates and translates the whole? |
| 17514 | First-- is the species of a colour and length of flowering season to be used in jungle- like masses for summer colour? |
| 17514 | Flowers, is it? |
| 17514 | Frankly, do you dislike me?" |
| 17514 | Get him out, somebody, why do n''t you? |
| 17514 | Has Miss Maxwell made a bid for the farm? |
| 17514 | Have you a man with quick wit and a straight eye to be the spade hand during the Garden Vacation? |
| 17514 | Hiven rest ye, sor, but have ye ever a job o''garden work now on yer estate, sor, that would kape me until I got the bit to cross to Kathy?" |
| 17514 | How about our fencing? |
| 17514 | How can any woman be so devoid of even the little sentiment of gifts as she is? |
| 17514 | How can you tell wild suckers from the desired growth? |
| 17514 | How was it possible, we queried? |
| 17514 | I want to own a resting- place for the soles of my feet when they are tired, and is it strange that I should pitch my tent near two good friends?" |
| 17514 | If Nature looks to the ways of the wind when she plants, why should not we? |
| 17514 | If a few seeds will produce a few plants, why not the more the merrier? |
| 17514 | If you are thinking of making out a book list of your needs as an answer to your mother''s or your"in- law''s"query,"What do you want for Christmas?" |
| 17514 | If you have no one either in the family or neighbourhood likely to attract_ The Man from Everywhere_, why may we not have him? |
| 17514 | In May? |
| 17514 | In the woods the farmer allows the ferns to stand, for are they not one of the usual attributes of a picnic? |
| 17514 | Is Opie ill again? |
| 17514 | Is a carnation a pink, or a pink a carnation? |
| 17514 | Is it comprehensive, think you? |
| 17514 | Is it possible that I am about to be seized with Agamemnon Peterkin''s ambition to write a book to make the world wise? |
| 17514 | Is there anything more like the incense of praise to the flower lover? |
| 17514 | Is there anything on your mind? |
| 17514 | Is there no more human basis upon which I can persuade you to come to Opal Farm when it is mine? |
| 17514 | It is only when some one of the household is positively ill that the record must be set down in black characters, for what else really counts? |
| 17514 | Martin Cortright, is it not?'' |
| 17514 | Meanwhile, I have Maria for a winter companion, and a mystery to solve and puzzle about; is not this truly feminine bliss? |
| 17514 | Nature does not attempt placid lowland pictures on a steep hillside, nor dramatic landscape effects in a horizonless meadow, therefore why should you? |
| 17514 | No good wish or omen?" |
| 17514 | Not Mrs. Chester Marchant?'' |
| 17514 | On the gold of the marsh marigolds edging the water? |
| 17514 | Second-- has it fragrance or decorative quality for house decoration? |
| 17514 | She listens and merely shakes her head, saying,"We''vited them to come, did n''t we, mother? |
| 17514 | So why should n''t ours? |
| 17514 | Sure, hev ye the cow below ud let me down a drap o''milk?" |
| 17514 | Tell me frankly, would you like me to stay?" |
| 17514 | The Infant, still clutching the box, looked at me in round- eyed wonder:"I had Dinah and the kittens to play with in the nursery, did n''t I, mother?" |
| 17514 | Upon how few of all the species of annuals listed does the real success of the summer garden rest? |
| 17514 | Upon these was her hope built, for with a market waiting, what lay between her and success but work? |
| 17514 | Was an explosion coming at last to end twelve years of out- of- door peace, also involving my neighbour and domestic standby, Martha Corkle Saunders? |
| 17514 | Was it an electric spark from the telephone? |
| 17514 | Were they discouraged? |
| 17514 | What annuals may be planted now to tide you easily over the summer? |
| 17514 | What business have people to put such dangerous skylights near a public road?" |
| 17514 | What do you want it for?" |
| 17514 | What is_ it_?" |
| 17514 | What matters it if a seed lies one or two years in the ground? |
| 17514 | Where does Spring set her first flag of truce-- out in the windswept open? |
| 17514 | Where does the eye pause with the greatest sense of pleasure and restfulness? |
| 17514 | Where is that neighbour of yours in the other half of the house? |
| 17514 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
| 17514 | Why do you not use your old wall in a like manner? |
| 17514 | Why might they not join us on our driving trips, by way of their vacation? |
| 17514 | Will it prove a second honeymoon, think you, or end in a total eclipse of our venture? |
| 17514 | Will you lend it to me? |
| 17514 | Will you revise the list for me? |
| 17514 | Will you tell me in due course which of the ferns are best for our purpose? |
| 17514 | Would I better begin at once or wait until July or August, as some of the catalogues suggest? |
| 17514 | Would you plant roses in rows or small separate beds? |
| 17514 | Would you prefer I went elsewhere?'' |
| 17514 | You''ll have to put up with me for the rest of the night and a man is n''t as cheerful a companion as a woman-- is he, Amos?" |
| 17514 | but what for?" |
| 17514 | do n''t you want to drive down to the sheriff''s?" |
| 17514 | ejaculated Bart,''but how will such a scheme give Mary a vacation from housekeeping and the everlasting three meals a day? |
| 17514 | not early vegetables, but flowers?" |
| 17514 | or on the silver- white plumes of shad- bush that wave and beckon across the marshes, as they stray from moist ground toward the light woods? |
| 17514 | says I,''and where''ll yer git the posies and what all?'' |
| 17514 | so lustily and scratching so testily in the leaves that have drifted under an old rose shrub? |
| 56526 | ''Ow many''ave you got''ere? |
| 56526 | A purty sight I calls that,said old Lovell, surveying his porch,"an''yourn ai n''t loike it, ai n''t it? |
| 56526 | About the Sunday school? |
| 56526 | And I may keep my holly hedge? |
| 56526 | And ca n''t one cut back the suckers and let the pink rose grow again? |
| 56526 | And it''s only at night, or against heavy rains, that they want protecting? |
| 56526 | And the plants that are to stay, may they be touched? |
| 56526 | And why did you need the press- gang to make you come and help this nice hard- working kind of an afternoon? |
| 56526 | And why,I asked again,"why this tugging and this wedging?" |
| 56526 | And wot''ull I do for_ my_ wegetables? |
| 56526 | And you wo n''t resign? |
| 56526 | Anything over of the five pounds? 56526 Are they very difficult to grow, or very expensive? |
| 56526 | But do you cut off_ all_ the new growth? |
| 56526 | But if you do n''t know, how do you know I am wrong? |
| 56526 | But those are n''t suckers? |
| 56526 | But when you came here was it like this? |
| 56526 | But why wo n''t they say''poker''and have done with it? |
| 56526 | Ca n''t I? 56526 Can I be sure the seed is there?" |
| 56526 | Can you see this October garden at all? 56526 Did n''t he? |
| 56526 | Did you have a good concert? |
| 56526 | Did you mean me or Griggs? |
| 56526 | Do n''t they last? 56526 Do n''t you know how I meant it to be? |
| 56526 | Do n''t you like talking about my garden? |
| 56526 | Do n''t you like the look of a kitchen garden? 56526 Do you know what that is?" |
| 56526 | Does it bloom on the new wood? |
| 56526 | El- bore!--did you say? 56526 Going strong?" |
| 56526 | Grass? 56526 Griggs, have you any wooden boxes or pans or things in which we can sow these seeds?" |
| 56526 | Griggs, what on earth are these? |
| 56526 | Griggs, what_ are_ you doing? |
| 56526 | Have we been doing anything very ignorant? 56526 How deep should you plant them?" |
| 56526 | How many have you done? |
| 56526 | I feel I am playing with little tin soldiers, do n''t you? |
| 56526 | If faith be added to hope is the next step sure? |
| 56526 | Is it too late? 56526 Is n''t it lovely? |
| 56526 | Is that for potatoes? |
| 56526 | Is this a good place for them during the winter? 56526 May I help you?" |
| 56526 | May n''t I help the garden to grow? 56526 Must it have another name? |
| 56526 | My dear girl, what on earth_ have_ you? 56526 No, but why tolerate it? |
| 56526 | Now can_ you_ tell me what are hellebores? |
| 56526 | Now, come; if you do n''t like this, what can you suggest better, eh? |
| 56526 | Now, sir, the year is nearly up, say,''how has the garden grown?'' |
| 56526 | Now, why do n''t you grow more of those? |
| 56526 | Oh, Jim, where did you find them? |
| 56526 | Oh, why bother Griggs? 56526 Oh, will you? |
| 56526 | Perhaps there might be too many colours, might n''t there? |
| 56526 | Really, but what were the etceteras? 56526 Say now, do you grow nightingales in your garden, Mistress Mary? |
| 56526 | Say, tall and reverend sir, can you reach a star? 56526 Shall I take out the roots we have put in to begin with?" |
| 56526 | Shall I write and ask my mother? |
| 56526 | Should Griggs put some of the savoury heap just round their roots? |
| 56526 | Some seeds take longer than others too, do n''t they? |
| 56526 | That particular one? |
| 56526 | That''s what they taught at your school, did n''t they, Reverend Young Man? |
| 56526 | The earth is n''t dirty, it is beautifully, healthily clean; and do n''t you love its''most excellent cordial smell''? 56526 Them? |
| 56526 | Well, may I have this gravel path up and make a border here? |
| 56526 | Well, shall we say six pounds for this next year? |
| 56526 | Well, we have not seen much yet, have we? |
| 56526 | What are those? |
| 56526 | What are you sprinkling that bed with those tiny green twigs for? |
| 56526 | What did his Reverence say to your resignation? |
| 56526 | What flowers_ do_ live out of doors? 56526 What is faith in this instance?" |
| 56526 | What is growing here? |
| 56526 | What is that? |
| 56526 | What shall I do? |
| 56526 | What''s up? 56526 What, buttercups?" |
| 56526 | What, not with Dutch bulbs? 56526 Where did you get them? |
| 56526 | Where? 56526 Why did you not fill the two round beds with these? |
| 56526 | Why is that? |
| 56526 | Will they flower? |
| 56526 | Will you really, sir? 56526 Would n''t a wooden tub rot away, though? |
| 56526 | You do n''t think she really knows,whispered Jim to me,"because if she does, she is going rather far, is n''t she?" |
| 56526 | You do n''t want heat for them? |
| 56526 | You have a little rhyme about Mary and her garden, have n''t you? 56526 You will come back and do the necessary watering,"I said,"and I shall be here to see it is done; you quite understand?" |
| 56526 | ''And how''bout my mowing? |
| 56526 | A whole third of the heavens separates the two; and what does that not mean to us of lack in light and warmth? |
| 56526 | And since when do lilies of the valley refuse to grow out of doors?" |
| 56526 | And the magician''s wand to work this transformation? |
| 56526 | And then the little snapdragons, what do you call them?--anti-- anti-- what? |
| 56526 | And then,"Why had we no violets? |
| 56526 | And what flowers had I omitted? |
| 56526 | And what had been the result? |
| 56526 | And what kind of sheet or wet blanket is old Griggs preparing for my eyes in front?" |
| 56526 | And what shall I do meanwhile? |
| 56526 | And what would happen if they were planted topsy- turvy? |
| 56526 | And, Mary, you bought_ all_ these bulbs? |
| 56526 | Anti-- rrh-- well, what''s this name?" |
| 56526 | Are n''t the babies there still?" |
| 56526 | Are they not lovely?" |
| 56526 | Between grass, what can look so staring and hideous as that patch of yellow? |
| 56526 | But ca n''t he be retired?" |
| 56526 | But how to circumvent the tree? |
| 56526 | But these lively stars of white and blue are not the kind to cull, are they, Mistress Mary? |
| 56526 | But what did it all mean? |
| 56526 | But what was the matter with those newly- planted rose trees? |
| 56526 | But wherewithal am I to do the dinner- table to- night? |
| 56526 | But who knows what_ I_ am composed of?" |
| 56526 | But why did you do it?" |
| 56526 | But why did you?" |
| 56526 | But why should they? |
| 56526 | But why was it not more successful? |
| 56526 | But would she really? |
| 56526 | Ca n''t we get rid of him, sir? |
| 56526 | Could it be? |
| 56526 | Could they send up shoots from anywhere they chose? |
| 56526 | Did the heavy weed crops speak well for his industry? |
| 56526 | Did the underground interlacement of that pernicious ground- elder do him credit? |
| 56526 | Did they come up?" |
| 56526 | Did they mean flowers? |
| 56526 | Did worms eat bulbs? |
| 56526 | Do all these pretty things grow in your garden, Mistress Mary?" |
| 56526 | Do n''t they want anything to eat or drink?" |
| 56526 | Do n''t you feel this?" |
| 56526 | Do n''t you put plants straight into the earth? |
| 56526 | Do n''t you see it?" |
| 56526 | Do n''t you think the garden has grown?" |
| 56526 | Do n''t_ you_ want your tea every day?" |
| 56526 | Do you call that pricking out? |
| 56526 | Do you know what"hellebore"is? |
| 56526 | Do you mean to say you expect those little things to flower this year? |
| 56526 | Do you see what I am trying to say?" |
| 56526 | Do you think-- can it be-- are they my crocuses?" |
| 56526 | Do you want all the flowers to wear black coats like you and me?" |
| 56526 | Does n''t Griggs?" |
| 56526 | Does n''t anyone know? |
| 56526 | Down in their hearts could those poor draggled, tangled specimens dream of radiant blooms turned to the sun? |
| 56526 | Ever see that old Griggs up at th''Rectory working away wi''his shears? |
| 56526 | Grandis means big but Tritoma?" |
| 56526 | Griggs, do you know what flower is called hellebore?" |
| 56526 | HOW THE GARDEN GREW BY MAUD MARYON"Mary, Mary, quite contrairy, How does your garden grow?" |
| 56526 | Had I not rooted, amongst other things, too much of myself in my garden for me now lightly to withdraw? |
| 56526 | Have n''t you seen the Park?" |
| 56526 | Have we done anything wrong?" |
| 56526 | Have you a lamb?" |
| 56526 | Have you ever noticed how a winter aconite springs from its bed? |
| 56526 | Have you ever noticed how great a difference there is between the sun''s summer and winter march across the heavens? |
| 56526 | He said he did, and I said,"Then may I do it?" |
| 56526 | How could I trust my precious seeds to this old murderer? |
| 56526 | How much has gone?" |
| 56526 | How test the soil and the sourness which would be fatal to flourishing? |
| 56526 | However will you and Griggs manage those you have already?" |
| 56526 | I gasped,"What are you doing? |
| 56526 | I long for the day when I too shall say,"Oh, I will send you some of that, wait until the autumn,"and"You care for this? |
| 56526 | I prefer perennials, do n''t you?" |
| 56526 | I want to have a great show this year; do n''t you? |
| 56526 | I wonder, now, have you let Griggs have any time for the vegetables lately?" |
| 56526 | If I cuts the stem wot becomes of them buds, eh?" |
| 56526 | Irresistibly the thought arises,"With what body shall_ we_ come?" |
| 56526 | Is it a bargain?" |
| 56526 | Is n''t it deadly nightshade, or something like that?" |
| 56526 | Is n''t there any post besides that of gardener which he might fill?" |
| 56526 | Is not that something?" |
| 56526 | Is that enough? |
| 56526 | Is that it? |
| 56526 | Is that the rule? |
| 56526 | It is grass, is n''t it?" |
| 56526 | It was easy to say I would"resign"the garden, but could I? |
| 56526 | It''s quite gone, I suppose?" |
| 56526 | Nature is wasteful, and so is human nature, but we ca n''t weed out the overcrowded families; and do the fittest there always survive? |
| 56526 | Nice brown thing, why had you not given just one little green sprout as the crocuses and snowdrops had done, so that there_ could_ be no mistake? |
| 56526 | Not that yours is very yellow, been down some time, eh? |
| 56526 | Now, Young Man, what do you say? |
| 56526 | Now, how does that sound?" |
| 56526 | Now, why did n''t you speak sooner?" |
| 56526 | Practical they are not, but why ask it of them? |
| 56526 | Putting pride aside, was not my interest in all those young promising plants for the spring too deep for me now to desert them? |
| 56526 | Remind one of bulls''-eyes, do n''t they? |
| 56526 | See him spring up that tree?" |
| 56526 | Shall I get Griggs and a spade?" |
| 56526 | Shall I go and pitch into old Griggs?" |
| 56526 | So I said dubiously,"Yellow jasmine should never be cut at all, then?" |
| 56526 | Sunflowers again--"golden- nigger,""Ã ¦ sthetic gem,""Prussian giant"--how could one help sampling such seductive names? |
| 56526 | Surely_ violets_ were not an impossibility? |
| 56526 | That would be fine, eh?" |
| 56526 | The cookery- books tell one to"make a white sauce of flour, butter and milk,"but how? |
| 56526 | The proof of the pudding would be in the eating, but how prevent any tragic consequences? |
| 56526 | Then we might have those stocks, all colours are they? |
| 56526 | There is honesty, almost nicer in sound than in reality; and lavender must come here, or where will be the old fashion? |
| 56526 | They always divide them up, do n''t they? |
| 56526 | They can be knocked up, ca n''t they?" |
| 56526 | Though who could talk when the whole night is throbbing with beauty? |
| 56526 | Was it really any use putting in that silly little twig? |
| 56526 | Was that right? |
| 56526 | Was that your idea?" |
| 56526 | We have none of those nice high blue things, what do you call them? |
| 56526 | Well, then, how do you manage yours? |
| 56526 | Well, what for the open? |
| 56526 | Were the buds on the trees swelling? |
| 56526 | Were they expensive, I wondered? |
| 56526 | Were worms the enemies in this particular case? |
| 56526 | What can one talk of better than a garden? |
| 56526 | What can we do?" |
| 56526 | What could have become of those planted by Griggs last year? |
| 56526 | What did you do it for? |
| 56526 | What do you think he was doing? |
| 56526 | What had happened in my short absence? |
| 56526 | What had happened to them? |
| 56526 | What is there so attractive in that prickly hedge? |
| 56526 | What on earth is that? |
| 56526 | What shall I do with them?" |
| 56526 | What was he doing? |
| 56526 | What was it growing in the grass? |
| 56526 | What was there? |
| 56526 | Where do n''t you pick? |
| 56526 | Where was he? |
| 56526 | Wherein lies the mystery of that delicately- flavoured, creamy substance or that lumpy kind of paste? |
| 56526 | Who is to do it?" |
| 56526 | Whoi, el- bore? |
| 56526 | Why are you so afraid of time? |
| 56526 | Why in the name of Reason make a curve when a straight line leads quicker between two places? |
| 56526 | Why not more?" |
| 56526 | Why then had my much- vaunted crimson rambler failed me? |
| 56526 | Why wo n''t the things make haste? |
| 56526 | Why, where is the harm in variety? |
| 56526 | Why? |
| 56526 | Will it go on?" |
| 56526 | Will that satisfy you?" |
| 56526 | Will they all die?" |
| 56526 | Will you tell me that?" |
| 56526 | Wo n''t I do as well? |
| 56526 | Wo n''t they come again? |
| 56526 | Would he care to have his gardening capacity judged by the dearth that reigned at the Rectory? |
| 56526 | Would it ever come to anything?" |
| 56526 | Would n''t it be more satisfactory to you to see the garden looking nice than like a howling wilderness?" |
| 56526 | Would you like me to retire in his favour?" |
| 56526 | You are still grubbing in things, are n''t you?" |
| 56526 | You do n''t feel inclined to get up and preach now, do you? |
| 56526 | You do n''t know?" |
| 56526 | You might be useful, sir, for a bit, might n''t you? |
| 56526 | You wants a show? |
| 56526 | Young Man, are you thinking?" |
| 56526 | _ This_ is Adam''s work, eh? |
| 56526 | _ but_--""Well, you are all_ for_ it, anyhow?" |
| 56526 | but do they want it all their own way? |
| 56526 | but whose fault is that?" |
| 56526 | d.?" |
| 56526 | do n''t you think that will do?" |
| 56526 | does n''t it make you feel just too awfully small for anything? |
| 56526 | front of the Rector''s winder?" |
| 56526 | has he gone to bed?" |
| 56526 | how to teach it manners? |
| 56526 | however can a poor Yank hear your nightingale? |
| 56526 | it''s the clipping, is it? |
| 56526 | more borders? |
| 56526 | or would the perversity of such a position be too much for their budding vitality? |
| 56526 | suggested Jim;"but they are strong little beggars and will grow bigger, wo n''t they?" |
| 56526 | why had I so cheerfully undertaken such an apparently hopeless task? |
| 35364 | ''Composition''means the putting together of a picture, does n''t it? |
| 35364 | ''Reinforced''must mean''strengthened,''but how do you strengthen it? |
| 35364 | A bird''s bath? |
| 35364 | A round robin? 35364 About Miss Daisy? |
| 35364 | And Congress kept on sitting while all this fighting was going on? |
| 35364 | And as for balance-- if nature happens to have placed things in balance, well and good; but if she did n''t what can you do about it? |
| 35364 | And is this brooder a really good step- mother? |
| 35364 | Any idea what? |
| 35364 | Are frozen things absolutely forbidden? |
| 35364 | Are the maids''rooms to be on the attic floor? |
| 35364 | Are they making them anywhere, nowadays? |
| 35364 | Are those the little gratings I noticed in all the rooms the other day? |
| 35364 | Are you counting''em? |
| 35364 | Are you going to build any bird houses, Dorothy? |
| 35364 | Are you going to do the rockery in the garden? |
| 35364 | Are you going to glass it in winter? 35364 Are you in such a hurry to leave us?" |
| 35364 | As you came toward the garden you''d have a-- what do you call the effect-- where you see a view framed in somehow? |
| 35364 | But do n''t you get tired of these red bricks and white shutters, and the little flights of white marble steps, all alike? 35364 But do you think there_ might_ be a stepmother some time or other?" |
| 35364 | But it did n''t affect you unpleasantly, did it? |
| 35364 | But may not a portrait indicate something of the character of the sitter? |
| 35364 | But, would n''t_ you_ be mean if you objected to his having the happiness of a household of his own, after all these years when he has not had one? |
| 35364 | Ca n''t we ask Mr. Anderson about making a bird''s bath out of cement? |
| 35364 | Could n''t an earthquake break it? |
| 35364 | Could n''t we put some concrete in a pan and squeeze another pan down on to it and let it harden? |
| 35364 | Could you resist that? |
| 35364 | Court dresses? |
| 35364 | Daisy is a pretty name, is n''t it? |
| 35364 | Did Aunt Louise see that after a while? |
| 35364 | Did I tell you how I happened to fall off the terrace wall? |
| 35364 | Did Jane Addams tell the story? |
| 35364 | Did it ever occur to you that those leaves were all crowded off into one corner of the picture? |
| 35364 | Did you bring some bits of meat for him? |
| 35364 | Did you ever know one? |
| 35364 | Did you notice the pretty cedar shavings that the carpenters left on the floor of the cedar closet? |
| 35364 | Did you notice the tall, thin closet for one- piece dresses? |
| 35364 | Did you notice them when you came through the house? |
| 35364 | Did you originate this idea? |
| 35364 | Did you think to say anything to Miss Graham about the Club''s using the attic in winter for weekly meetings? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you ever put a central light in the dining rooms you decorate? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you remember how it was when we were planning Dorothy''s garden on top of this ridge, back of the house and the garage? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you see what I mean, Dorothy? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you seem to see it-- with gold fish swimming around among the stems? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think I''d better go too? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think one would be cunning for Elisabeth? 35364 Do you believe that?" |
| 35364 | Do you know that it is going to happen? |
| 35364 | Do you know who this is? |
| 35364 | Do you know? |
| 35364 | Do you mean a vista? |
| 35364 | Do you really mean it? |
| 35364 | Do you really mean that you do n''t know who Betsy Ross was? |
| 35364 | Do you remember the time you walked off the end of the porch one day? |
| 35364 | Do you see how well we''re going to see the house from here? |
| 35364 | Do you see those rolls of heavy paper over there? 35364 Do you think she could keep still long enough to make a real visit?" |
| 35364 | Do you think, Mother, we shall have time to look up some of the historical places in the city? |
| 35364 | Do you want me to be in this picture? |
| 35364 | Do you want to make it yourselves? |
| 35364 | Does Aunt Louise expect her house to last three or four thousand years? |
| 35364 | Does he really? |
| 35364 | Does n''t Miss Graham come from Washington? |
| 35364 | Does n''t he look as if he were the lord of the world? 35364 Does the house face directly south?" |
| 35364 | Eighteen hundred and seven? |
| 35364 | Ethel Blue wants to know why Mother is going? |
| 35364 | Even in the attic? |
| 35364 | For instance? |
| 35364 | Going to cut out the iceman? |
| 35364 | Has anything happened? |
| 35364 | Has he spoken to you about it? |
| 35364 | Has she done it? 35364 Has she finished her Englewood house?" |
| 35364 | Have n''t you heard? 35364 Have you come to superintend us, Miss Dorothy?" |
| 35364 | Have you got your stick? 35364 He may be grave, but has he any sense?" |
| 35364 | Helen, did you know that''Hail Columbia''was written in Philadelphia? |
| 35364 | Here is what I should suggest for an apple- blossom room-- though perhaps you have some ideas that you would like to have carried out? |
| 35364 | How are the walls of this room to be treated? |
| 35364 | How are you going to make it? |
| 35364 | How can we keep the water fresh in the tub? |
| 35364 | How do all of you feel about the size of the rugs? |
| 35364 | How do you do? |
| 35364 | How do you get the coal out? |
| 35364 | How does the expense compare? |
| 35364 | How long are you going to be before you fikth a plathe for Chrithopher Columbuth? |
| 35364 | How long did the British hold the city? |
| 35364 | How long did these Congressmen chat here? |
| 35364 | How many of you people can go to the Metropolitan Museum with me on Saturday? |
| 35364 | How old is it? |
| 35364 | How soon will that be? |
| 35364 | How would you like to go to Philadelphia? |
| 35364 | How would you paint them? |
| 35364 | I suppose you want the bird''s bath for your garden, Miss Dorothy;--why do n''t you make a little pool for the garden? |
| 35364 | I wonder if you have n''t all noticed a Japanese print that Margaret has? |
| 35364 | I''m sorry it does n''t come to you spontaneously,replied her brother,"but what care I?" |
| 35364 | I''ve set my heart on this room''s looking like a pink rose--"Or a bunch of apple blossoms? |
| 35364 | If we watch this house grow it will be almost like building it with our own hands, wo n''t it? |
| 35364 | In this same old building? |
| 35364 | Is Aunt Louise going to let us decide? |
| 35364 | Is it about anything in particular? 35364 Is it soft like mud?" |
| 35364 | Is it worse than any other kind of church? |
| 35364 | Is n''t he the dearest old darling that ever walked? |
| 35364 | Is n''t it going to be lovely when the real furniture is on the terrace here? |
| 35364 | Is she going to make a visit this time? |
| 35364 | Is the next coat made of the same stuff? |
| 35364 | Is the original document here? |
| 35364 | Is there one in your linen closet? |
| 35364 | It had to look as if it were a bit of the woods, did n''t it? |
| 35364 | It has scaled off terribly, has n''t it? |
| 35364 | It was at the end of several sharply fought fields that Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in Virginia, was n''t it? |
| 35364 | It would be fun to keep gold fish in it,she said,"but they would have to have fresh water, would n''t they?" |
| 35364 | It would make a picture look every which way, would n''t it? |
| 35364 | Just how is this tile used? |
| 35364 | Me? 35364 Mother is n''t going to have a regular decorator, and I know she''ll be immensely pleased to have Miss-- what is your aunt''s name?" |
| 35364 | Mother, you know this village; ca n''t you make out a list for us? |
| 35364 | Need you ask? |
| 35364 | Now when he has picked them out, what should you say the next step was? |
| 35364 | Now who''s baying the moon? |
| 35364 | Now, how had you planned to finish the other sleeping porches? |
| 35364 | Now, next,she said,"do you know what the Boston Tea Party was?" |
| 35364 | Oh, could a tender little thing like a root break concrete that''s as hard as stone? |
| 35364 | Oh, could we? |
| 35364 | One of those big Chinese rugs that is almost all white, but has a little blue, would be lovely, would n''t it? |
| 35364 | Say''Robert of Lincoln''? |
| 35364 | Shall I put Christopher''s log in here? |
| 35364 | She''s prepared for anything, is n''t she? 35364 She_ arranged_ what she had selected so that they would be natural and--""And so that the colors would show well?" |
| 35364 | Speaking of Columbus-- are we going to celebrate Columbus Day this year? |
| 35364 | That is a fact, is n''t it? |
| 35364 | That means that you''ll only be here about ten days longer? |
| 35364 | That sounds great,beamed Dorothy,"but would n''t it be awfully heavy?" |
| 35364 | That''s so; in steam heating there has to be fire enough to make steam, anyway, does n''t there? |
| 35364 | That''s the wall that has the cellar windows in it? |
| 35364 | The thirteen stripes mean the thirteen original colonies, do n''t they? |
| 35364 | The water would get pretty hot in the sun, would n''t it? |
| 35364 | There is n''t a lot of difference between radiators for steam and those for hot water, is there? |
| 35364 | They are n''t, are they? |
| 35364 | They take naturally to oatmeal flakes, do n''t they? |
| 35364 | They''ve cut it under queerly at the foot on both sides; what''s that for? |
| 35364 | Was n''t it about that time that the American army spent the winter at Valley Forge? |
| 35364 | Was n''t that just about the time Washington was elected President? |
| 35364 | Was n''t that the time when my old friend, Anthony Wayne, stirred up a little excitement up the Hudson? |
| 35364 | Was she? |
| 35364 | Was that the cherry tree on the right thide of Chrandfather''th houthe? |
| 35364 | What Colony did he represent? |
| 35364 | What about trellises? |
| 35364 | What are dirt bands? |
| 35364 | What are the children going to do? |
| 35364 | What are the walls going to be made of? |
| 35364 | What are these affairs? |
| 35364 | What are these cupboards for? |
| 35364 | What are we going to have for salad after these birds? |
| 35364 | What are we going to see? |
| 35364 | What are you going to have to drink? |
| 35364 | What are you going to wear at the party? |
| 35364 | What are you taking? |
| 35364 | What aunt? 35364 What color is Mother going to have?" |
| 35364 | What did Washington say? |
| 35364 | What did they want to do this time? |
| 35364 | What difference do you see between this picture and the''Horse Fair''? |
| 35364 | What do you do with the ashes? |
| 35364 | What do you think a picture ought to have in it to be a real picture? |
| 35364 | What do you think of a place under that tree? |
| 35364 | What do you want of us? |
| 35364 | What for sweeties? |
| 35364 | What is it all about? |
| 35364 | What is it? |
| 35364 | What is the furniture to be? |
| 35364 | What on earth are you doing here? |
| 35364 | What was her message to me? |
| 35364 | What was it all about? |
| 35364 | What would be the harm if you could see it from the driveway? |
| 35364 | What''s dead air space for? |
| 35364 | What''s it for? |
| 35364 | What''s that for? |
| 35364 | What''s that for? |
| 35364 | What''s that for? |
| 35364 | What''s that? |
| 35364 | What''s the date? |
| 35364 | What''s the floor to be made of? |
| 35364 | What''s the heating system-- steam or hot water? |
| 35364 | What''s the matter with the little darling precious? |
| 35364 | What''s the matter? |
| 35364 | What''s the plainest pattern there is? |
| 35364 | What''s this? |
| 35364 | What''s to prevent the water running off all the time? |
| 35364 | When do you go? |
| 35364 | When do you think your aunt is coming? |
| 35364 | When it is full, way up to the top, what happens next? |
| 35364 | When was it that Washington made his historic visit to Betsy? |
| 35364 | When will they come out again? |
| 35364 | Where are you going to dig the hole? |
| 35364 | Where does she live? |
| 35364 | Where does the sun rise from here? |
| 35364 | Where is it? |
| 35364 | Where was he, Dicky? |
| 35364 | Where''s Ethel Blue? |
| 35364 | Where''s my girl? |
| 35364 | Where''s the aspic? |
| 35364 | Where? |
| 35364 | Who are our high- flyers? |
| 35364 | Who is the Hero? |
| 35364 | Who is the lady? |
| 35364 | Who is the most famous girl in history, who did that? |
| 35364 | Who made the most box furniture for Rose House? |
| 35364 | Why a sieve? |
| 35364 | Why are there so many pipes? |
| 35364 | Why ca n''t we have maple marguerites to go with everything? |
| 35364 | Why do you grease your cake pans? |
| 35364 | Why do you suppose Helen told us about Jeanne d''Arc just now? |
| 35364 | Why do you suppose she did n''t put everything in? |
| 35364 | Why not? |
| 35364 | Why not? |
| 35364 | Why not? |
| 35364 | Why so scrumptious? |
| 35364 | Why''stepmother closet''? |
| 35364 | Why, Napoleon was at the very height of his power then, was n''t he? |
| 35364 | Why? |
| 35364 | Will I run to de nex''house an''telephone for de doctor? |
| 35364 | Will all of the pieces be upholstered with the same material? |
| 35364 | Will they have a garden? |
| 35364 | With palms and rubber plants and rugs and wicker chairs and tables-- I suppose you''ll have wicker? |
| 35364 | Wo n''t it be too warm in summer? 35364 Wo n''t some one recite them?" |
| 35364 | Wo n''t the concrete show lines where the cracks between the boards were? |
| 35364 | Wo n''t they slide open? |
| 35364 | Would it take too much time to see the Mint? |
| 35364 | Would what? |
| 35364 | Would you like to have me call up Margaret and Della on the telephone and see if they can go to- day? 35364 Would you mind letting us have a little concrete to- morrow to make a bird''s bath with?" |
| 35364 | Yes, do n''t you remember how he fought against his daughter''s English lover? |
| 35364 | You ca n''t make the concrete floor and leave it, can you? |
| 35364 | You knew she had asked Uncle Richard to come up for her house- warming? |
| 35364 | You know those little round seats that you sometimes see in railway waiting rooms? |
| 35364 | You know we''ve decided on a round robin, do n''t you? |
| 35364 | You mean our''Hail Columbia''--the regular''Hail Columbia''? |
| 35364 | You mean the one with big green leaves up in one corner and the grasshopper clinging to a tendril? |
| 35364 | You think we''d better hold back the paper for a final resort? |
| 35364 | You wo n''t have the cellar wall all built by to- morrow after school, will you? |
| 35364 | ''What shall I say, brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?'' |
| 35364 | A shrub would n''t hurt it, though; why ca n''t it go near those shrubs that are going to separate the flower garden from the vegetable garden?" |
| 35364 | Ai n''t it fierce? |
| 35364 | Airy?" |
| 35364 | And on which side are you going to have that?" |
| 35364 | Are they all like this?" |
| 35364 | Are you comfortable now?" |
| 35364 | Are you going to take a picture of the vegetable garden?" |
| 35364 | Are you going to use steel beams here?" |
| 35364 | Are you satisfied now?" |
| 35364 | Aunt Louise is going to have her housewarming on October 12, Columbus Day? |
| 35364 | Brave Admiral, speak, what shall I say?'' |
| 35364 | Did she expect you? |
| 35364 | Did you ever cook them?" |
| 35364 | Did you notice that the linen closet is on the bedroom floor? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you see that when the concrete hardens it would be almost impossible for such a reinforced piece of work to break through?" |
| 35364 | Do n''t you see the wires already put in?" |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think a dull dark red, a mahogany red-- would be pretty with this brick floor?" |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think it would complicate matters?" |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think the right place for it would be covering a walk leading from the house to here?" |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think we''ve made everything very compact here? |
| 35364 | Do n''t you think you''ll need some?" |
| 35364 | Do you cook?" |
| 35364 | Do you know that chintz that has blurry, indefinite flowers on it?" |
| 35364 | Do you mean--? |
| 35364 | Do you see that the outside is rather rough? |
| 35364 | Do you see that there are no discords because a color note is struck and all of the other shades and colors harmonize with it? |
| 35364 | Do you see the planks the men are setting up twelve inches in from the bank?" |
| 35364 | Do you think it would be pleasant if you and I went over for a few days and took Roger and the children with us?" |
| 35364 | Do you think that a room of gray and scarlet and black is going to be harmonious with those delicate tints?" |
| 35364 | First, what shall we eat?" |
| 35364 | Gee, ai n''t it fierce?''" |
| 35364 | Have n''t all of you had a good deal of fun out of it?" |
| 35364 | Have you any idea what that means?" |
| 35364 | Have you ever happened to be in a house where they were moving the furniture about and every piece that passed the hall chandelier gave it a rap?" |
| 35364 | He had heard his mother say to his Aunt Louise:"Why, you could turn the hose on it to clean it, could n''t you?" |
| 35364 | He lifts his lip, he lies in wait, With lifted teeth as if to bite; Brave Admiral, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?'' |
| 35364 | Hear them hum?" |
| 35364 | How did you ever think of anything so perfectly galoptious?" |
| 35364 | How does it work?" |
| 35364 | How many are you going to have, Lady?" |
| 35364 | I suppose she''s too small to have had any regular training as yet?" |
| 35364 | If he can make happiness for himself now, after all these years, do n''t you think that his little daughter ought to help him?" |
| 35364 | Is it Miss Daisy?" |
| 35364 | Is n''t Aunt Louise delighted?" |
| 35364 | Is n''t it in that same letter that he says he hopes he will often see his son smile?" |
| 35364 | Is n''t it just a lot of horses being taken to a Horse Fair for exhibition?" |
| 35364 | It''s successful, do n''t you think so?" |
| 35364 | Me? |
| 35364 | Or do n''t you?" |
| 35364 | Put in your tub which is to be your mold, while the floor is still plastic--""Eh?" |
| 35364 | Queer, is n''t it?" |
| 35364 | See the metal ceiling? |
| 35364 | Shall I run back to the house and tell her you are here?" |
| 35364 | Smith?" |
| 35364 | Smith?" |
| 35364 | They are, are n''t they?" |
| 35364 | Vernon entirely surrounded by cupboards and closets? |
| 35364 | Was n''t that perfectly frightful?" |
| 35364 | What color is the baby''s room to be?" |
| 35364 | What did she say about the attic?" |
| 35364 | What do you think about size?" |
| 35364 | What shall we do about it?''" |
| 35364 | What''s the other?" |
| 35364 | When stands it?'' |
| 35364 | Who thought of that?" |
| 35364 | Whose tires have we worn until they were almost worn out and yet_ she_ has never tired?" |
| 35364 | Why this honor?" |
| 35364 | Would you like to see the collections?" |
| 35364 | Write down one of those, Miss Secretary, and one of these right- angled ones-- don''t you all of you think that''s a comfy one?" |
| 35364 | You ca n''t expect ten people to wait for you to be thoroughly dried and got ready to go into town, can you?" |
| 35364 | You just have to pare the alligators and take out their cores--""With a butcher''s knife?" |
| 11660 | ''Burbanked''? |
| 11660 | ''Egg- shaped''? |
| 11660 | ''Grass pink,''repeated Ethel, Brown,"is n''t that the same as''spice pink''?" |
| 11660 | A flower counter? 11660 A hairy what?" |
| 11660 | A locust? |
| 11660 | A rose? |
| 11660 | And you notice how conveniently the coal beds lie to the iron mines? 11660 Are n''t they wonderful? |
| 11660 | Are n''t we going to have that sort of thing inside? |
| 11660 | Are n''t you afraid you''ll get that pretty silk all cindery? |
| 11660 | Are there pink poppies? |
| 11660 | Are they growing in water? |
| 11660 | Are you sure they''re all pink? |
| 11660 | Are your father and mother alive? |
| 11660 | Assisted by yellow jessamine? |
| 11660 | At the back? |
| 11660 | Born after she ceased writing home? |
| 11660 | But is n''t it true that we get as much pleasure out of a single superb chrysanthemum or rose as we do out of a great mass of them? |
| 11660 | But what would be his object? 11660 But, Grandfather, if the beauty is there right now why ca n''t we see it?" |
| 11660 | Can I help? |
| 11660 | Can we do it? |
| 11660 | Can we get blossoms on chrysanthemums the first, year? |
| 11660 | Can we make candy marshmallows out of it? |
| 11660 | Can you ask? 11660 Can you be ready for an early morning train from New York?" |
| 11660 | Can you guess why? |
| 11660 | Can you remember cineraria? 11660 Can you tell me just what the trouble is? |
| 11660 | Coal? 11660 Could I have a corner for them? |
| 11660 | Could n''t we--? |
| 11660 | Could you help it? |
| 11660 | Could you see what it was like? |
| 11660 | Did any of you notice the bean I''ve been sprouting in my room? |
| 11660 | Did he? 11660 Did his interest seem to fail?" |
| 11660 | Did it have''root, stem and leaves''? |
| 11660 | Did the opposite happen at night? |
| 11660 | Did they have a great old fight to take the fort? |
| 11660 | Did they know her name? |
| 11660 | Did you kill the buds? |
| 11660 | Did you know that this is one of the largest herds of buffalo in the United States? |
| 11660 | Did you notice a minute ago that I spoke of the''leaflet''of a horse- chestnut leaf? 11660 Dig up what?" |
| 11660 | Do I seem to remember a rule about using one teaspoonful of tea for each person and one for the pot? |
| 11660 | Do I understand, madam, that you''re going to have a pink border here? |
| 11660 | Do n''t I remember some in your yard? |
| 11660 | Do n''t all the pines have three needles in the bunch? |
| 11660 | Do n''t know what? |
| 11660 | Do n''t they call them''pansy bowls''? |
| 11660 | Do n''t they grow any flowers at all? |
| 11660 | Do n''t you remember how those snowflakes we looked at under the magnifying glass on Ethel Blue''s birthday burst into magnificent crystals? 11660 Do n''t you remember the Bulgarian? |
| 11660 | Do n''t you remember when Fitz- James first sees Ellen in the''Lady of the Lake''? |
| 11660 | Do the tips of the leaves have names? |
| 11660 | Do they enjoy working the gardens? |
| 11660 | Do you blame her? |
| 11660 | Do you know what they''re for? |
| 11660 | Do you mean that I wo n''t be able to buy it? 11660 Do you remember that girl who was with him at the Flower Festival?" |
| 11660 | Do you remember the talk you and I had about Rose House just before the Fresh Air women and children came out? |
| 11660 | Do you remember what Bryant says about''The Yellow Violet''? |
| 11660 | Do you remember your mother? |
| 11660 | Do you see it has a big midrib and the other veins run out from it''every which way''as Ethel Blue said, making a net? 11660 Do you see on shore some low- lying houses and sheds? |
| 11660 | Do you see that flat oblong space there at the back? 11660 Do you see those long rows of bee- hives? |
| 11660 | Do you suppose Roger would be willing to dig it up for us? |
| 11660 | Do you think he honestly believes that she''s the missing heir? |
| 11660 | Do you want to change any of the beds that were here last summer? |
| 11660 | Do you want to know what I found out? |
| 11660 | Does n''t the plant breathe and eat through them? |
| 11660 | Does that mean they blossom every two years? |
| 11660 | Does this have to stand over night? |
| 11660 | Dorothy--"Smith? |
| 11660 | Find out what? |
| 11660 | Fire damp? |
| 11660 | Grapefruit? 11660 Has Aunt Louise bought them?" |
| 11660 | Has anybody a knife? |
| 11660 | Has it a thick, leathery leaf that lies down almost flat? |
| 11660 | Have the orphans any gardens to work in? |
| 11660 | Have we decided on the background flowers for the wild bed? |
| 11660 | Have you caught Emily? |
| 11660 | Have you got anything to cover it with when the spring sunshine grows too hot? |
| 11660 | Have you started any peony seeds? |
| 11660 | He does look like a horrid sort of man, does n''t he? |
| 11660 | Here''s another competition between Helen''s wild garden and the color bed; which shall take the buttercups and cowslips? |
| 11660 | How about sweet williams? |
| 11660 | How about the watering systems of all these gardens, anyway? 11660 How are we going to know just when to plant all these things so they''ll come out when we want them to?" |
| 11660 | How are you going to tell? |
| 11660 | How can you do it without talking? |
| 11660 | How could it have? |
| 11660 | How did you know I''d suggest a walk there for the Saturday Club meeting? |
| 11660 | How did you know about it, anyway? 11660 How did you learn all that?" |
| 11660 | How do you happen to know so much? |
| 11660 | How do you know it is? 11660 How is it different from the oak veining?" |
| 11660 | How large a house is she going to build? |
| 11660 | How long is he? |
| 11660 | How many members of this handsome and intelligent Club know what leaves are for? |
| 11660 | How often do you change the water? |
| 11660 | How often do you water it? |
| 11660 | How on earth,called Ethel Blue,"are we going to get over it?" |
| 11660 | I do n''t know whether we can do it with this tiny fire, but let''s try-- what do you say? |
| 11660 | I do seem to be asking about a million questions, do n''t I? |
| 11660 | I should think the biggest difference would be that animals eat plants and plants eat-- what do plants eat? |
| 11660 | I suppose we may all have a chance at all of these institutions? |
| 11660 | I suppose you do n''t care what else goes into the garden? |
| 11660 | I wonder why they''re called''wind- flowers''? |
| 11660 | I''d like to know why you never told me about that before? |
| 11660 | If we sod down these beds here what will Roger do for his sweetpeas? 11660 If you''re interested right off why wo n''t other people be?" |
| 11660 | Is it a story? |
| 11660 | Is it much work? |
| 11660 | Is n''t boiling water boiling water? |
| 11660 | Is n''t it lucky he is? 11660 Is n''t the easiest way to call their attention to it to have a piece in the paper?" |
| 11660 | Is n''t there any poetry about it? |
| 11660 | Is that all he says? |
| 11660 | Is that what I did to Miss Maria? |
| 11660 | Is that what the negroes call''light wood''? |
| 11660 | Is the little girl his daughter? |
| 11660 | Is there any brown paper around these precincts, Dorothy? |
| 11660 | Is there any early history about here? |
| 11660 | Is there any gas here? |
| 11660 | Is there anything you can do about it? |
| 11660 | It does n''t seem as though it were strong enough to do either good or harm, does it? 11660 It''s just the opposite of a rolling stone, is n''t it?" |
| 11660 | Jabez Smith? 11660 Julian Smith? |
| 11660 | Let''s ask her if we may? |
| 11660 | Look hard at this white pine needle; do you see, it has three sides, two of them white and one green? 11660 Me?" |
| 11660 | Must it be brown? |
| 11660 | Now, then, Roger, the first thing for us to do is to see--"With our mind''s eye, Horatio? |
| 11660 | Of course we do-- if Della does n''t have to take the train back yet? |
| 11660 | Oh, will you? 11660 One of the sweetpea packages is marked''blue,''"said Roger,"I wonder if it will be a real blue?" |
| 11660 | Or silver or copper? |
| 11660 | Pink flowers, a pink room-- is there anything else pink? |
| 11660 | Pink? |
| 11660 | Shall we take up this wake- robin? |
| 11660 | Something like mine? |
| 11660 | Tell me, dear, are n''t there some thoughts in your mind that you do n''t like to tell to any one? 11660 Tell me,"she said,"exactly what is coal and how did it get here?" |
| 11660 | That is really natural gas, is n''t it? |
| 11660 | That nice, acid- tasting leaf? |
| 11660 | That''s a lesson in success, is n''t it? 11660 That''s pretty; what''s the rest of it?" |
| 11660 | The horse chestnut is a hungry one, is n''t it? |
| 11660 | The name was n''t Morton, was it? |
| 11660 | Then you wo n''t plant the garden this year? |
| 11660 | There is an old hemp rug and some straw matting in the attic-- won''t they do? |
| 11660 | They do look fools, do n''t they? |
| 11660 | They have to; how are they to do anything else? |
| 11660 | They''re pretty, are n''t they? 11660 This minute?" |
| 11660 | Those pinks are perennials, are n''t they? 11660 Up here on the hill?" |
| 11660 | Useless? 11660 Walked right in? |
| 11660 | Was it good? |
| 11660 | Was it pretty? |
| 11660 | Was n''t the attack on Deerfield during the French and Indian War? |
| 11660 | We want it to be a regular business, so will you please tell us how much rent we ought to pay? |
| 11660 | Well, then, why not have the tables where you sell things-- if you are going to have any? |
| 11660 | What about the animals? |
| 11660 | What are the blossoms? |
| 11660 | What are the characteristics of the framework? |
| 11660 | What are the trees that still have a few leaves left clinging to them? |
| 11660 | What are we going to put in here first? |
| 11660 | What are you doing this planting for? |
| 11660 | What are you girls talking about? |
| 11660 | What are you girls talking about? |
| 11660 | What are you people talking about? |
| 11660 | What can we do? |
| 11660 | What did he do with the other half of his batter? |
| 11660 | What did she do with it? |
| 11660 | What did they call it? |
| 11660 | What do we need? |
| 11660 | What do you hear from Stanley? |
| 11660 | What do you know about hating? |
| 11660 | What do you mean? 11660 What do you say if we divide the border along the fence into four parts and have a wild garden and pink and yellow and blue beds? |
| 11660 | What do you say to poppies? |
| 11660 | What do you suppose Mother and Aunt Louise will say? |
| 11660 | What do you think it is? |
| 11660 | What does he say, Brother? |
| 11660 | What flower is it you''re so crazy over? |
| 11660 | What happens when this bean plant uses up all its food? |
| 11660 | What in the world is it? 11660 What is a stable doing down here?" |
| 11660 | What is a trillium? |
| 11660 | What is it? 11660 What is it? |
| 11660 | What is it? 11660 What is it?" |
| 11660 | What is it? |
| 11660 | What is it? |
| 11660 | What is shale? |
| 11660 | What is that high wharf with a building on it overhanging the river? |
| 11660 | What is the answer as far as anybody knows it? |
| 11660 | What is the blade of your leaf made of? |
| 11660 | What is there flowery about a Punch and Judy show? |
| 11660 | What is your idea about having the children taught? 11660 What on earth do you mean?" |
| 11660 | What plants did she have? |
| 11660 | What scheming is Hapgood up to now? |
| 11660 | What was the date of the marriage? |
| 11660 | What were you doing? |
| 11660 | What would happen if the fan stopped running? |
| 11660 | What would happen if you let it boil a while? |
| 11660 | What would you think of a series of editorials, each striking a different note? |
| 11660 | What''s its name? |
| 11660 | What''s that? |
| 11660 | What''s that? |
| 11660 | What''s the idea of two boilings? |
| 11660 | What''s the next move? |
| 11660 | What''s the object of cutting off the end? |
| 11660 | What''s the rush? |
| 11660 | What''s the use of remembering all that? |
| 11660 | What''s this delicate white stuff? 11660 What''s yours, Ethel Blue?" |
| 11660 | What''th in that little houthe over there? |
| 11660 | What? |
| 11660 | What? |
| 11660 | What? |
| 11660 | What_ I_ want to know,retorted Mr. Emerson,"is what brand of curiosity you have in your cranium, and how did it get there? |
| 11660 | When do you want us to start? |
| 11660 | Where are we going to get a tent? |
| 11660 | Where are we now? |
| 11660 | Where are you going to get your land? |
| 11660 | Where are you? |
| 11660 | Where besides the railroad station? |
| 11660 | Where do you get the water? |
| 11660 | Where do you suppose she went to? |
| 11660 | Where was it, son? 11660 Where was the coal?" |
| 11660 | Where''s my hat? |
| 11660 | Where''s the other? |
| 11660 | Who is he? 11660 Why ca n''t we start some of the flower seeds here and have early blossoms?" |
| 11660 | Why could n''t we have it in the corner where there is a fence on two sides? 11660 Why do n''t we have a fine one this summer, Helen?" |
| 11660 | Why do n''t we make a roar about it? |
| 11660 | Why do n''t we make plans of the gardens now? |
| 11660 | Why do n''t you give a talk on arranging flowers as part of the program this evening? |
| 11660 | Why do n''t you give her this space behind the green and limit your flower beds to the fence line? |
| 11660 | Why do n''t you try hedges of gooseberries and currants and raspberries and blackberries around your garden? |
| 11660 | Why eagle? 11660 Why is it funny?" |
| 11660 | Why not forget Punch and Judy and have the same performance exactly in both places? |
| 11660 | Why not on the veranda at the side? |
| 11660 | Why not use the hall and the grounds, too? |
| 11660 | Why should she be mad, when I went up there to be nice to her? 11660 Why were you in her room?" |
| 11660 | Why, should n''t I go into her room? 11660 Why?" |
| 11660 | Will it be made of concrete? |
| 11660 | With cotton wool for fuel? |
| 11660 | Wo n''t it hurt those plants to pull them up this way? |
| 11660 | Wo n''t transplanting them twice set them back? |
| 11660 | Would n''t it be easier to buy the insect powder? |
| 11660 | Would there be any objection to my offering a small prize? |
| 11660 | Would you be mad if she went into your room without knocking? |
| 11660 | Would you like to have me tell her? 11660 Would you mind if we had a flower counter here in your hall?" |
| 11660 | You ca n''t stick them in a week apart and have them blossom a week apart? |
| 11660 | You call this clear? |
| 11660 | You copied them yourself? |
| 11660 | You do n''t mean the field with the brook where Roger got the pussy willows? |
| 11660 | You do n''t object to a silver centrepiece on the dining table, do you? |
| 11660 | You knew she had been adopted by a Wentworth? |
| 11660 | You mean that the dump might be made into the garden? |
| 11660 | You want more flowers in this yard, then? |
| 11660 | You wo n''t be able to live in the house this summer, will you? |
| 11660 | You''d know that one was an oak, and the one next to it a beech, would n''t you? |
| 11660 | You''re sure of that? |
| 11660 | --and pink candy- tuft for the border and foxgloves for the back; are those old plants or seedlings?" |

| 18183 | Mr. Kellogg: Is n''t it better to dehorn it and get some new shoots to graft? |
| 18183 | Mr. Kellogg: Is there such a thing as a pedigreed strawberry plant that is taken from runners? |
| 18183 | Mr. Kellogg: Too big a growth on the graft is liable to be injured in the winter, is it not? |

| 18183 | Mr. Kellogg: You have been surprised with it? |
| 18183 | Mr. Latham: Do you wish to have the report read or have it published later? |

| 18183 | Mr. Miller: I should think the germination of that seed would run out? |
| 18183 | Mr. Miller: I suppose the idea of putting that in the bottom is that it is so hard to cultivate the manure on the top without doing as you mentioned? |
| 18183 | Mr. Miller: I would like to ask Mr. Kellogg if he advises covering the strawberries in the winter after snow has fallen and with what success? |

| 18183 | Mr. Stakman: Were you spraying for the pocket or brown rot? |
| 18183 | Mr. Stakman: What did you use? |
| 18183 | Mr. Stakman: What did you use? |
| 18183 | Mr. Stakman: What does your oil cost? |
| 18183 | Mr. Stakman: What kind of soil were they on? |

| 18183 | Mr. Willard: I would like to ask the speaker, the way I understood him, why he could n''t raise as good strawberries on new ground as on old ground? |
| 18183 | Mr. Willard: So it would be better to plant on old ground or old breaking than new? |
| 18183 | Mr. Willard: You pinch the end of the tops, I think? |
| 18183 | Mr. Willis: Would it improve the plants, fertilize the plants, this lime? |
| 18183 | Mr. Wintersteen: The maggots that attack the radishes and turnips are the same as the cabbage maggot? |

| 18183 | One prominent Minnetonka fruit grower said this to me about them:"Mr. Cook, what is the use of making all of this fuss about these new plums? |
| 18183 | Or does the success of it depend principally upon the varieties of fruit set out together with the after cultivation, pruning and spraying? |
| 18183 | President Cashman: Anything further before we pass to the next subject? |
| 18183 | President Reeves: Is Mr. Hegerle in the room? |

| 18183 | SEND IN A NEW MEMBER.--Have you noticed the advertisement on the inside of the back cover page of this and also the January issues of our monthly? |
| 18183 | Second, how much? |
| 18183 | Some may ask, why not use the Virginia crab? |
| 18183 | The President: Any one wish to make any comments on this report? |
| 18183 | The President: Can you tell us something more about your experience in marketing direct? |
| 18183 | The President: Do you accept that as a substitute? |
| 18183 | The President: Do you add any Paris green at any time or arsenate of lead? |
| 18183 | The President: Do you break off many canes by covering them? |
| 18183 | The President: How did you get it? |
| 18183 | The President: How is your wild strawberry? |
| 18183 | The President: How many years ago? |
| 18183 | The President: How much? |
| 18183 | The President: I suppose that is automobile trade? |
| 18183 | The President: Is Professor Waldron in the room? |
| 18183 | The President: That is, 2- 1/2 pounds to 50 gallons of water with the other ingredients? |
| 18183 | The President: What is the remedy, Mr. Kellogg? |
| 18183 | The President: What temperature do you keep in your cellar? |

| 18183 | The Reverend Mr. Reisenour(?) |
| 18183 | The first question I will read is--"What would you advise about covering in the garden in a season like this?" |
| 18183 | The mystery of the selection in this state is, why was a flower chosen which is not common to any part of the state? |
| 18183 | The next question is--"Are the black peat or muck soils first class? |
| 18183 | The next question is--"Should apple raisers use commercial fertilizers?" |
| 18183 | The question with pears is, will they stand blight or not? |
| 18183 | Then I thought,"What if I had planted forty acres?" |
| 18183 | Then did you vow once more to destroy the beetles when you saw the roses begin to wither from punctures made by the beetle in the stem? |
| 18183 | There is still room in this list for others, and why not instead of paying annual membership year after year make one payment and have done with it? |
| 18183 | This thing is to go on, and how? |
| 18183 | Tucker; 388 Gray, A. N., Marketing Fruit by Association; 27 H Hansen, Prof. N. E., What is Hardiness? |
| 18183 | Virginia crab is an early bloomer, and would grafting it with Wealthy make it bloom earlier? |
| 18183 | Was it the new soil? |
| 18183 | Was it your idea that we report next year or that the plan be put in operation? |
| 18183 | Was n''t that a great thing to make a fuss about? |
| 18183 | We have members, I think, in every county of the state, have n''t we, President Cashman? |
| 18183 | What about the farm and home garden for 1916? |
| 18183 | What are the results? |
| 18183 | What can we say about the crowning event of our meeting, the annual banquet? |
| 18183 | What do we raise and how do we do it? |
| 18183 | What is blight? |
| 18183 | What is it and is there a remedy?" |

| 18183 | What is the occasion of this? |
| 18183 | What is the reason? |
| 18183 | What is the second one? |
| 18183 | What is your opinion of the Delicious? |
| 18183 | What shall I do? |
| 18183 | What shall be done with the old bed? |
| 18183 | What variety shall I choose? |
| 18183 | What was the beginning of the civic league and the city beautiful? |
| 18183 | What was the matter, was it the mixture or the sprayer? |
| 18183 | What was the result? |
| 18183 | What would be the consequence as to the white grub that follows the tomatoes, and other insects? |
| 18183 | When do the berries begin to ripen? |
| 18183 | Where is the grocer who would go back to those days, and where is the public that would patronize him? |
| 18183 | Who are the people that are going to take your places? |
| 18183 | Who can do better than that? |
| 18183 | Who is to have a gold watch given him fifty years from now-- or given to her fifty years from now? |
| 18183 | Who would have thought it possible that in spite of all the frost and cold rains we would get a pretty good crop of cherries? |
| 18183 | Why Should We Grow Seedling Apples? |
| 18183 | Why do n''t you come and enjoy this most entertaining event of the meeting? |
| 18183 | Why not grow evergreens in the place of willows? |
| 18183 | Why not others? |
| 18183 | Will not each member make an especial effort to bring in a new member at that time or before? |
| 18183 | Will some one enlighten me? |
| 18183 | Will that be all right? |
| 18183 | Will they take nitrogen the same as clover? |
| 18183 | With over 2,000 varieties should n''t we be satisfied? |
| 18183 | Would it be five or six years before I receive any benefit, or seven or eight years? |
| 18183 | Would it be policy to put that on? |
| 18183 | Would it be worth while to put that on or would that overdo the thing? |
| 18183 | Would you want the Alsike clover or sweet clover for an apple orchard? |
| 18183 | You have got to punish the whole on account of the few? |
| 18183 | You may ask why? |
| 18183 | You throw a heavy growth in there, which makes the fruit that much larger? |
| 18183 | You would n''t put them all together? |
| 18183 | [ Illustration: American Elm windbreak at Devil''s Lake, N.D.] Mr. Kellogg: What is the reason there are so few of them really blue? |
| 18183 | [ Illustration: Norway Poplar windbreak at Devil''s Lake, N.D.] I have a question here: How long should a shelter- belt be cultivated? |
