A garden is the place to rear! children says Mrs. Charles A Emery of Pomona. Calif., whose, modest but beautiful little place' has tl'en awarded first prize in the National Yard & Garden Contest. From their cradle days Mrs. 1 Emery's three children- Bill. Ix>is and little Rob Roy. have grown up m the garden. The first words spoken by IjOis when a baby were •pitty tows" even preceding the, word "Mania." Her little brothers; seem to know a weed from a flow er by instinct. Each of the chil- ! dren enjoys perfect health, the result of living so much in their beautiful out-of-doors playroom, their parents believe. Mrs. Emery was not always a > gardener. She took it up after she had lost her first born. The grief stricken- mother found solace in earing for the little Hower children in God's beautiful out-of-1 doors. With her own hands she created i a paradise on her 50-foot lot.; There, with her three rollicking youngsters, she lias found happi-| ness again. In fact. Mi s. Emery is ( ' one of the happiest of women.] with a ready laugh and sparkling eyes. She is in excellent health too. weighs 112 pounds and finds, that gardening makes unnecessary 1 either dieting or reducing cxer-j cises. Mr. Emery too. who does the; heavy work in the prize-winning. garden, is the picture of health. He is a sergeant of police. His .spare time and vacations are spent helping his wife in the gat den instead of playing golf or fishing. He cheerfully admits, however, that iu the garden his wife is ’l'ief Home in Orange Grove Mrs. Emery's beautifully plant* I ■ home grounds is largely the work n/' her own hands, the fulfillment j and made me eat them at gun point. ‘‘Almost immediately 1 went, sound asleep The food must have been drugged.

(This letter was in- ( reived last Saturday by Augustus. Blagdon, a brother». “I wrote the letter. They made I me (>ai again. I went dead to the., world for what must have been about a day and a hall I "Barely conscious, I wa ■ hauled . into the automobile and taken to i another city, which I thought was Albany. The car was abandoned ■ and I was loaded into a closed truck. “They look me to a farm house' wlTcrc ‘I was held for quite a while.! There they shaved off my unis-1 • tacho.

lof her heart's desire. She it was. ' woo planned this dream home I among the orange blossoms look i ing out on the snow-capped Sierras. ' To her the Yard & Garden Contest ' has been a never ending inspira 'lion. In the first competition th* ! judges would not even consider I her young garden. The second • year she was given second prize. ' so exceptional had been the development of her place. Last year, 1 her third trial, Mrs. Emery won . first place and the honor of pre i senting her community in the I National Contest. Here again sh* | carried off highest* honors. Compel : Ing against hundreds of the best j planted home grounds from all , parts of the country. Each ol these places had likewise won ffrst prize in its own home town and was therefore the outstanding yard of an entire community. Color Harmony Noteworthy ' In these hundreds of beautifully I planted home gardens were a great •many other inviting outdoor living rooms only a degree less attrac I live than the one Mrs. Emerv ! created around her spreading !>e , can tree. None of these, however had <iuite the appeal of the little fairyland at Pomona. In it ba- ‘ been I tended into a harmonium- ! picture all th** full colors, past* , shades and delicate tints of na i tlire's palette. Tree, shrub, ever J green, rose, vine, bulb and hardy flower were planted in profusion ' The house was joined harmon iously to the ground about it ami a rather l>are back yard lieeame a colorful ami comfortable garden room. Benches, chairs, occasional ta Ides, paved areas, furnished this garden room for comfortable living.

Spokane Garden Wins Another home grounds to winj G high honors in the National Con- ' test was that of Miss Julia E. Lain, I rance in Spokane, Wash., winner of first prize in (In* senu-amateur II division (Class II manual labor I ls hired). Miss Laurance developed her garden on a solid rock ledge, j ,l in the face of greater natural hanK dicaps than almost any other prizewinning home grounds.

It represents the culminating of a s 1 lioilnby which developed some years I ago while Mrs. Sparey lay in a ~| sanatorium convalescing from an r . attack of tuberculosis. Planning v her future home grounds provided j ’ a mental stimulus which was a tdg (actor in her fight to regain her (I health, a battle in which she has a ' now triumphed.
