"We can send for some seeds and get them in time to plant," said Uncle Robert. "Oh, thank you, uncle," exclaimed Susie. "How nice! I'll save this big bed for nasturtiums, and the bachelor's buttons can go over there." [Illustration: Poppies] "The nasturtiums would do better by the fence and the porch," said Uncle Robert. "They like to climb." "All right," said Susie; "then we can have this bed for something else." "Have you any poppies?" asked Uncle Robert, smiling. "Poppies are my favorite flowers." "Are they, uncle? Then we'll have poppies in this bed." "Thank you, dear," replied Uncle Robert, taking out his notebook. "We'll send for the poppy seeds, too." "I think that finishes the beds," said Susie. "Let me see," and, walking down the path, she pointed out where each kind of flower was to grow. "You might draw it now," said Uncle Robert; "then we'll make no mistake." "Oh, goody!" cried Susie. "That's what I'll do. Wait until I get a pencil and paper." |
