"Oh, pansies! pansies! Can't I have two pots of pansies?"
"You can have three or four plants in one pot—perhaps that will do. Then you can put nasturtiums in the other little pot. They are easy to grow, and very beautiful."
"Yes," said Prue, "I never saw anything so lovely as your nasturtiums by the house, last year."

"Of course," he said, "your garden may not look just as I have it here. I don't draw very well, but I can make things about the right sizes to fit the windows, and that isn't so hard to do with a pencil as it is with the plants themselves. Plants, like children, don't always grow just as their friends want them to, and they are not always well behaved. You see—"
"But won't my bean vines and corn grow up like that?" asked Davy.
"And won't my morning-glories have flowers on them?" asked Prue.
