d's First of June? For
what says the brave old song-couplet of New England's mothers? That--

"Spring would be but wintry weather
If we had nothing else but spring."

Every year, even in Massachusetts--even in Michigan--spring, summer, and
autumn are sure to come overladen with their gifts and make us a good,
long, merry visit. All the other enlightened and well-to-do nations of
the world entertain them with the gardening art and its joys and so make
fairer, richer and stronger than can be made indoors alone the
individual soul, the family, the social, the civic, the national life.
In this small matter we Americans are at the wrong end of the
procession. What shall we do about it?
