Men tend to progress just as they come closer together, and by co-operation with each other increase the mental power that may be devoted to improvement, but just as conflict is provoked, or association develops inequality of condition and power, this tendency to progression is lessened, checked, and finally reversed ' So wrote a famous political economist tracing the tendency of civilization through the annals of history. We are discovering more and more how true this is, for through this national emergency we are being brought closer together to strengthen and support one another. Horticulture is a comparatively new profession for women—so new that each pioneer's success is of great importance. Our strength lies in our unity—the experience of one helping to guide the others. The greater part of our efforts as long as the war lasts will of necessity be in the production of food, but we will not neglect the aesthetic side, for that is just as important. In anxious times men and women need all the beauty with which they can surround themselves. Trees and flowers encourage and inspire one in a language of their own. These days are serious ones, making great demands on all. To meet these demands and to avoid any waste of energy, work has to be correlated—service has to fit into service—any minor differences being overlooked for the general good. These are times when all must be inspired by unselfish motives or else fall short of the thousands of examples of sacrifice and courage on every hand. We all have great opportunities before ns to prove our worth and must carry on our share of the burden. Service for service is the rule of life! 2
