Market.—The handling of produce opens a large and interest- ing field in education. If children wish to sell their products they should learn that it is always important for the market gardener to present his produce to the public in the most attractive form. Some children make dur- ing the winter the baskets in which the}^ are to exhibit their garden products. Some day there may be market places in villages and cities for the crops grown in children's gardens. This would add greatly to the interest the children would take in their harvests. Such an enterprise would encourage industry and appeal to many idle boys. 7. Wild gardens.—In some schools the children have very interesting wild gardens. A piece of ground has been selected for this purpose, the soil enriched with earth from the wood, and as the years pass the children have added to the number of wild plants. Wood plants should not be transplanted while in blos- som. If the teacher will take her pupils to the woods some day in spring and mark the wild plants by means of a piece of wood strong enough to resist the storms of spring and summer the children may dig up the soil in this place and in the fall the root of the wild plant may be obtained. One school in this State is trying to have specimens of all the wild flora in the vicinity. The children should always be cautioned against exter- minating wild Fig. 31. ?An attractive bit of nature's planting.
