Garden for Invalid.

If you have an invalid friend, you can make her a garden that (ihe will enjoy for a very little mone/. Buy a small gold fish bowl and have a piece of glass to fit over the top. Then go out into the woods and get a piece of moss for the bottom and find a small plant or a tiny fern and set it out in the moss or plant a nasturtium seed. The moisture from the plant will keep it growing; there will be no need to water it, and the invalid can have her little garden right near the bed, can even take it in her hands and watch it grow. It will be a joy weeks.
