To the mothers and fathers who have chtldfen attending the Junior Gardens: 1 tliink this (nay intere«t you. I suppose your children have been telling you what a wonderful city wr have. I think, in fact, it is one of the finest things that could happen for the school children. Some time ago we had an election of the officers who help conduct the city. As we have just started this movement, we have not yet got everything we want. We intend to make many improvements. Among them we need first a bank, next a tool house, and several more things would be quite convenient. We want to make this movement both a pleasure and a profit to the children. Every child that attends the gardens has a plot. They all raise vegetables, and if they follow instructions there is no reason why each one should not make $5 during the term.

. Now, this is what you.,' If each parent 1 ar's worth of vege from their children's be able to,rais^the needed. We can ha > yety,, for It, becai nated us the land, g ested. in your childr wish! you would hel the same ';tifce.|;7ife invited (to^'ttenii^ Wednesday from 2 and on Saturday fron and see how th« gar on. '"No vegetables unless they are as 1 cured at : the markets The . gardens arej d] from the ages ■of 6 > All we ask is to thin and attend our gard< you will help us in <
