How Does Your Garden Grow?

       Here you see young Bill planting flower seeds. Emmaline is watering the little plants. Color Bill and Emmaline and the hedge with your paints or crayons. Make the hedge rather dark green, the air behind sky blue. The earth should be brown, a pale brown, the stepping stones gray, and the watering pot bright red or green. Cut all the slits on this page but do not take the page from your magazine. On the opposite page are the flowers that will bloom in the garden with a little help from you. Color them, using natural colors for the blossoms as you know them. Use several shades of green for your foliage to give variety to your picture. Cut out all these pieces on the heavy outlines. On the tab of each clump is a number corresponding to the number of the slit. Push the tab through the slit and paste it on the back of the page. Be sure to match the numbers or you may have a pansy growing from a hollyhock seed. Last of all cut out the picket fence and paste it in the lower corners. Do not paste the gate but leave it free to swing. Now you have a beautiful garden picture to display on a bedroom wall or inside of a scrapbook.

This garden needs plants!

These garden flowering plants need to be "planted" in the lawn
picture above. Cut them out, color them and paste them into 
the numbered spaces shown above.
