FOREWORD 
 
 SEED, little friends, is really 
 a plant or a tree all wrapped 
 up in a little brown bundle. 
 If you plant it in the ground 
 it will grow, and when it is old enough 
 it will bear fruit, because God has 
 made it so. 
 
 ^ Among all the children of A'lother 
 Nature, the fruits and vegetables are 
 probably the most useful to us. Wher- 
 ever we may go some of these little 
 people are there before us, ready to 
 help us by giving us food and to make 
 life easy and joyous for us. 
 
 ^ In your Another's garden you will 
 always find many familiar friends; in 
 the fields the graceful Grain children 
 will nod and beckon to you; in the 
 orchard the Fruit children , will peep 
 out at you from their leafy homes; 
 along the roadside the gay little Berries 
 will give you a friendly greeting, and 
 in the forest you will find the little 
 wild Grapes climbing trees and playing 
 hide and seek with the Bird children.
