+Artists' Note
+
+
+_To the lovers of Beauty no branch of science offers such varied
+delights as that of Hearticulture; at the same time no pursuit is so
+full of disappointments for the inexperienced and pitfalls for the
+unwary. It is the study of a lifetime; no one can say he is a master of
+Hearticulture. Many of the most successful gardeners give it up as they
+become older: some from disappointment over a trifling failure, others
+from sheer weariness; still more take up a branch of nursery-gardening
+called Matrimony, which demands such close attention and care that it
+has come to be regarded as a profession in itself._
+
+_It has even been asserted that Matrimony is no branch of Hearticulture
+at all--a statement so far from the truth that it can only come from a
+disappointed or unsuccessful Heart Gardener. Be warned, dear reader; if
+you should take up this highest and most beautiful of all the branches
+of Hearticulture with such an erroneous idea, you are foredoomed to
+failure._
+
+_If this little book be the means of showing to even the least of these
+the error of his ways, we shall not feel that it has been made in vain._

+
+January
+
+
+One cannot begin too early, and January is the time for looking over the
+ground and planning the arrangement of the Heart Garden.
+
+Outside of the Hothouse few flowers are to be seen in January. The most
+noticeable of these is the Common Turnleaf or Resolution Plant, a sort
+of Neverlasting Flower. The Turnleaf abounds during the early days of
+January, but disappears as the month progresses.
+
+It is a showy plant, with its curiously marked leaves, but is seldom
+known to blossom. The Flower, which is said to be of the purest white,
+with an odor somewhat resembling Sanctity, is entirely concealed by the
+leaves, which begin to turn as soon as the plant is full-grown.
+
+When the new leaves have completely turned over, the flower will be seen
+in all its snowy beauty. This, however, rarely happens, as most of the
+plants die long before the turning process is accomplished.
+
+Another winter-blooming flower is the Valentine Plant (_Lovelornia
+Desperatia_), one of the _Epistolaria_ Family. This should be set out
+towards the end of the month, as it flowers in the middle of February.
+
+     _NOTE._ Recent investigations have shown that this destructive
+     Blight, of which the Turnleaf is the victim, is caused by a deadly
+     germ known as _Jus Twunsmoria_.

+
+February
+
+
+The Valentine Plants are now fully grown, but the flowers do not appear
+until the middle of the month, when they are ready to be packed, and
+sent by the male to all parts of the world.
+
+The Valentine Plants are very sensitive to environment and temperature,
+and occasionally produce a flower, remarkably like that of the Poppia or
+Proposal Plant, to which it is said by some to be allied.
+
+There is another variety of the Valentine Plant, much dreaded by
+Hearticulturists, and unfortunately only too common, known as _Valentina
+Vulgaria_. In well-kept gardens it is regarded as a weed and destroyed
+whenever it appears. The flower is gaudy in color and emits a most
+offensive odor. A powerful irritant to all the senses, it is to some
+people quite poisonous, though rarely fatal in its effects.
+
+The Social Climber (_Aspira Socialis_) or Push Vine, which blooms in the
+most inclement weather and in the most Uninviting Places, is often seen
+during this month. By fastidious gardeners it is considered an
+undesirable visitor, and though impossible to exclude it altogether, if
+kept well in check during the winter it will be less troublesome in the
+summer months. The Push Vine is the toughest of all the Aspiration
+Vines, and under favorable circumstances attains a great height.

+
+March
+
+
+It is still too cold to set out the young Hope Plants. Hope poles for
+their support should be out in readiness and stuck in the ground at
+proper intervals. For this purpose the best poles are Spruce, or Heart
+of Oak, or if the Hope Plants live till midsummer, the Sea Beach.
+Weeping Willow, and Pine, of course, should be avoided.
+
+Weeding must now begin in earnest, though it is as yet too early for the
+Gossip Weed and the poisonous Scandalwood.
+
+Antipathy, another noxious weed, in its early stages often resembles
+Reciprocation, the very sweetest of all the early spring flowers. Even
+the Seeds of these two plants are so alike that one sometimes sows
+Antipathy when he thinks he is sowing Reciprocation.
+
+Another pretty flower that blows chiefly in March is the Lingerie Plant
+(_Frillia Fluffylacea_), which makes a pretty display at exposed corners
+during the month. The snowy petals, with their lacelike edges, closely
+resemble those of the white carnation.
+
+In Formal Gardens, the Frillia is not encouraged. There is, however, a
+variety known as the _Washia_, or Monday Plant (_Laundria Familiensis_),
+a weekly bloomer, common in Kitchen and Roof gardens. It is best started
+in tubs; but when ready to put out requires strong poles, supported by
+which it makes a brave show; but unlike the Hope Vine, it lasts only for
+a day or two before drying up.

+April
+
+
+This is a very treacherous month for the Gardener. Perhaps the most
+characteristic April flower is the April Hope Plant (_Anchoria
+Sanguinia_), whose delicate leaves begin to show early in the month.
+Though one of the most fragile of plants in appearance, it is possessed
+of extraordinary vitality. Were it not for this, it would soon fall a
+prey to a capricious but rapacious weed known as the
+_April-foolia-Flirtatia Mittifolia_, so called from its mitten-shaped
+leaves. This curious plant when in full bloom shows a heart-shaped
+flower, so inviting in appearance that unwary people are seized with an
+irresistible desire to pluck it. Instead of the anticipated pleasure,
+however, they receive a sharp, stinging sensation, not unlike that of a
+nettle. As with the Nettle, too, if the flower be firmly grasped and
+crushed in the hand, the sting will be deadened. This plant should be
+avoided by inexperienced gardeners. It is believed by some that the
+sting caused by the _Flirtatia Mittifolia_ may be cured by crushing
+another flower of the species and applying it to the wound as a counter
+irritant. Another and more reliable cure is a plant called _Newflamea_,
+which blooms in May. The seed of this beautiful flower may be sown in
+the middle of April, in sheltered places. The constant care and
+attention which it requires will be amply rewarded by the beauty and
+fragrance of its blossom, which appears with the first May sunshine. The
+seed should be kept always on hand, as it can, with attention, be grown
+at any time, and has a wonderfully stimulating effect upon its
+admirers.

+
+
+The Gardener now begins to reap the reward of his toil of the past few
+weeks. With the bright blossoms of the Hope Vines and the Newflamea
+Plant, the Garden already presents a lively appearance.
+
+A Spring variety of the Aspiration Vine (_Aspira Poetica_) is also in
+bloom, and fills the air with an indescribable fragrance. It is not in
+any way related to the common or garden Asparagus, as the name might
+suggest. The _Aspira Poetica_ is a capricious plant, however, and few
+can bring it to perfection; for those who are unsuccessful in its
+cultivation a substitute may be found in the familiar Quotation Plant
+(_Bartlettia Familiaris_). This, while lacking the freshness of its
+Sister Plant, is a showy and reliable Bloomer all the year round. It is
+a hardy flower; any one can raise it, care only being required in
+selection from many varieties.
+
+Young gardeners should be cautioned against a too great display of these
+plants, as some varieties contain a powerful narcotic, which often
+causes people to lose consciousness, while in the very act of admiring
+their beauty.

+June
+
+
+June is called the month of roses. Quite the commonest variety known to
+Hearticulturists is the Blush Rose. This most delicate and sensitive of
+all the flowers in Love's Garden has the astonishing power of changing
+color. The faintest whisper of a Spring Zephyr, the hum of a bee, or the
+note of a bird will cause it to turn from an ivory pink to the deepest
+crimson. Care should be taken in the selection of this variety of roses
+as unscrupulous nurserymen often palm off on inexperienced customers a
+rank imitation, little better than a weed, known as the Common Rouge or
+Make-up Plant (_Pigmentia Artificialis_), a variety of the Puff Blossom.
+The imposture may be easily detected, however, by the application of the
+water test, a spray of water from a watering can or hose causing the
+false rose to turn a chalky white color with red streaks.
+
+Matrimony is a flower much cultivated in June, but it is difficult to
+raise, and many gardeners refuse to have anything to do with it. Though
+the catalogues advertise highly, we do not recommend it to very young
+gardeners.

+July
+
+
+The Falling-Star Flowers and the Rocket Climbers, two well-known
+varieties of the Firewort family, make a beautiful show this month; the
+latter especially, which rapidly attains a great height. The Firewort
+family are all night bloomers, and related to the _Patriotica
+Americana_. Great care must be taken in their raising and plenty of room
+allowed for their expansion; for if checked at the time of blooming,
+they are very dangerous and sometimes even fatal in their effect.
+Children especially should never be allowed to handle them.
+
+The Evening Chaperon is fashionable and useful, but like the Wallflower
+should be planted in out-of-the-way places, such as the other side of
+the wall or gate.
+
+Perhaps there is no more familiar or popular summer annual than the
+common or Garden Hammock plant or _Swingia_ (_Embracia Pendulosa_). It
+is seen at its best in the evening, often blooming late; sometimes it is
+called the Night-Blooming Serious. Though a composite flower, when at
+the full the two heads are often so close as to be mistaken for a single
+one.
+
+Another night-blooming plant is the Serenade vine (_Mandolina
+Nightbawlia_),--a climber encouraged by some, but regarded by others as
+a nuisance. Unlike other vines, it cannot stand wet weather. A sudden
+rain, the spray of a hose, even a pitcher of water, will choke it off
+altogether.

+August
+
+
+There is little work for the Hearticulturist in August. If the Gossip
+Weed and Scandalwood have been kept in check, the young Heart Gardener
+will have ample time to enjoy the feast of color and sweetness that his
+labor and devotion have earned for him.
+
+The gayest note in the color harmony of August is the _Parasolia_. This
+beautiful plant, which blooms in every color of the rainbow, abounds in
+the hottest weather, and like its sister Sunworshipper, the Sunflower
+(whom the poet Moore has immortalized),--
+
+  "Turns to her God when he sets
+  The same glance that she turned when he rose."
+
+So faithful, indeed, is the _Parasolia_ in this respect that a
+distinguished scientist, formerly superintendent of the National Weather
+Bureau, once confessed (in a private interview printed confidentially in
+the Evening _Post_) that his success in telling whether or no the sun
+were shining was entirely due to his watching the flowers of the
+_Parasolia_.
+
+At sunset the _Parasolia_ folds its gayly tinted petals for the night,
+giving place to that delicious variety of Night-Blooming Serious, the
+Hammock Plant, which may be seen swaying gently in the moonlight often
+far into the night.

+September
+
+
+A slight falling off will be noticed this month, especially in the
+leaves, and the garden will need the most careful attention. The
+Engagement Vines often become very much entangled, so that it is hard to
+tell which is which. Straightening them out is a delicate operation, and
+in some cases the shears are necessary.
+
+The Heart Trees especially should be watched this month, to guard
+against blight.
+
+The Golf Plant (CRAWLIA BRAGADOSIA) a dull though persistent creeper,
+related to the Gillieflower, thrives well in September, and indeed in
+all the Autumn months. It is much fancied by up-to-date gardeners. Like
+the poison ivy, it is quite innocuous to many people, but to some it is
+a powerful irritant, causing them to break out in the most violent
+manner. From the fruit of this plant is distilled a strong stimulant
+called Bogey, highly prized by its cultivators, but looked upon with
+contempt by outsiders, who regard the Golf Plant as the greatest pest in
+the vegetable kingdom.

+October
+
+
+The Hearticulturist must bestir himself in October if he desires his
+garden to present a bright appearance at the end of the season. He will
+find plenty to do, raking up the rapidly falling leaves of the Date
+Plant.
+
+The withered Date Leaves present a mournful appearance, and all traces
+of them should be cleaned away as fast as possible, as they impede the
+growth of the Fall Engagement Vine. These should be well covered, and
+together with the more tender of the Heart Trees taken into the Hot
+House at the first sign of a Frost.
+
+Old-fashioned flowers like Yearning and Aufweedersehen or Absence, with
+their pensive autumn fragrance and soft colors, add much to the beauty
+of the October garden. Yearning, however, though a beautiful flower,
+should be well trimmed and kept within bounds, as it has a tendency to
+become wild when left to itself, in which state it is a most troublesome
+weed.

+
+
+The Heart Garden would be a dull spectacle in the month of November were
+it not for the brave show of the Thanksgiving Bush (_Overeatia
+Nationalia_), with its bright turkey-red flower. This together with the
+Reunion Plant (_Gatheringea Familiensis_), a species of _Arborvitę_, of
+which the _Smithensis_ and _Jonesia_ are the commonest varieties, forms
+the color scheme of the November garden. The Reunion Plant especially,
+with its wonderfully intricate and multitudinous branches, shows so many
+varieties of color, form, and scent as almost to be a garden in itself.
+
+A much-prized though unobtrusive November flower is the Correspondence
+Vine (_Epistolaria Amoris_). This vine flourishes more or less all the
+year round, but grows to a great length during the late months of the
+year. One variety, the _Clandestina Epistolaria_, is especially shy,
+being rarely seen above the ground. This is a particularly sweet
+variety, but in Formal Gardens it is not encouraged, as its fruit is
+believed by many to be bad in taste and often dangerous in its effect.

+December
+
+
+The Hearticulturist may take his well-earned rest in December, as the
+few hardy shrubs that venture out this month are well able to take care
+of themselves.
+
+Most noticeable of these is the Marrygold, a dwarf growth of foreign
+importation, and erroneously supposed to be a sport of the original
+Heart Tree. The Marrygold has a showy yellow flower resembling the
+Dandelion, to which many believe it related, the petals often taking the
+form of a crown or coronet. The leaves are covered with sharp stinging
+spines like those of the Nettle, and the odor is most pungent. However,
+though a disagreeable plant, it has nevertheless a certain vogue, and
+serves to enliven an otherwise dull season.
+
+It is a relief to turn from the pungent Marrygold and the vulgar Push
+Vine to the graceful Puff Plant (_Powderminosia Delicatea_). This dainty
+flower, though not an out-door bloomer, bears a wintry looking blossom
+of snowy white with a rare fragrance. It is an exquisitely feminine
+flower, being often seen in ornamental pots in boudoirs or on
+dressing-tables, and is eagerly sought after by ladies at fashionable
+balls and other gay functions of the jolly month of December.

+slow in opening--sometimes opened by hand--not advisable, however,
+unless one has a very sure hand--otherwise it is apt to prove an
+expensive experiment. Grows in great variety. In fact, it is seldom a
+grower can produce three alike, and if an enthusiast can show four of a
+kind it is something to be remembered--sometimes with sorrow. Should be
+taken in early or they will freeze out and die. Do not touch with cold
+hands.

+A Word at Parting
+
+
+GENTLE READER:--
+
+In bringing out this little book we feel that we are doing a great
+service. We know it is needed; the world has needed it for a long time.
+Adam, even, might have been a better gardener had this book been
+available. Who can say? Perhaps he would not have had to give up the old
+farm and move away, had he had this Almanac to guide him. And then there
+are Hero and Leander, Paris and Helen, Abelard and Heloļse, Paolo and
+Francesca, and so many, many others--how different it might all have
+been had we only published this little book a few thousand years ago! We
+are filled with regret. The one consoling thought is that we are better
+fitted for the work now. We are older and we think wiser.
+
+From time to time, as we see the need, we shall issue new volumes of
+Cupid's Almanac, thoroughly revised and up to date on all matters
+pertaining to Hearticulture and its kindred pursuits.
+
+We thank you, Generous Reader, for your patience and your patronage.
+
+                  And beg to remain,
+                           Faithfully,
+                              Your humble servants,
+                                     THE AUTHORS.

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<h2>January</h2>
+
+
+<p>One cannot begin too early, and January is the time for looking over the
+ground and planning the arrangement of the Heart Garden.</p>
+
+<p>Outside of the Hothouse few flowers are to be seen in January. The most
+noticeable of these is the Common Turnleaf or Resolution Plant, a sort
+of Neverlasting Flower. The Turnleaf abounds during the early days of
+January, but disappears as the month progresses.</p>
+
+<p>It is a showy plant, with its curiously marked leaves, but is seldom
+known to blossom. The Flower, which is said to be of the purest white,
+with an odor somewhat resembling Sanctity, is entirely concealed by the
+leaves, which begin to turn as soon as the plant is full-grown.</p>
+
+<p>When the new leaves have completely turned over, the flower will be seen
+in all its snowy beauty. This, however, rarely happens, as most of the
+plants die long before the turning process is accomplished.</p>
+
+<p>Another winter-blooming flower is the Valentine Plant (<i>Lovelornia
+Desperatia</i>), one of the <i>Epistolaria</i> Family. This should be set out
+towards the end of the month, as it flowers in the middle of February.</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot"><p><i>NOTE.</i> Recent investigations have shown that this destructive

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>February</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Valentine Plants are now fully grown, but the flowers do not appear
+until the middle of the month, when they are ready to be packed, and
+sent by the male to all parts of the world.</p>
+
+<p>The Valentine Plants are very sensitive to environment and temperature,
+and occasionally produce a flower, remarkably like that of the Poppia or
+Proposal Plant, to which it is said by some to be allied.</p>
+
+<p>There is another variety of the Valentine Plant, much dreaded by
+Hearticulturists, and unfortunately only too common, known as <i>Valentina
+Vulgaria</i>. In well-kept gardens it is regarded as a weed and destroyed
+whenever it appears. The flower is gaudy in color and emits a most
+offensive odor. A powerful irritant to all the senses, it is to some
+people quite poisonous, though rarely fatal in its effects.</p>
+
+<p>The Social Climber (<i>Aspira Socialis</i>) or Push Vine, which blooms in the
+most inclement weather and in the most Uninviting Places, is often seen
+during this month. By fastidious gardeners it is considered an
+undesirable visitor, and though impossible to exclude it altogether, if
+kept well in check during the winter it will be less troublesome in the
+summer months. The Push Vine is the toughest of all the Aspiration
+Vines, and under favorable circumstances attains a great height.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>March</h2>
+
+
+<p>It is still too cold to set out the young Hope Plants. Hope poles for
+their support should be out in readiness and stuck in the ground at
+proper intervals. For this purpose the best poles are Spruce, or Heart
+of Oak, or if the Hope Plants live till midsummer, the Sea Beach.
+Weeping Willow, and Pine, of course, should be avoided.</p>
+
+<p>Weeding must now begin in earnest, though it is as yet too early for the
+Gossip Weed and the poisonous Scandalwood.</p>
+
+<p>Antipathy, another noxious weed, in its early stages often resembles
+Reciprocation, the very sweetest of all the early spring flowers. Even
+the Seeds of these two plants are so alike that one sometimes sows
+Antipathy when he thinks he is sowing Reciprocation.</p>
+
+<p>Another pretty flower that blows chiefly in March is the Lingerie Plant
+(<i>Frillia Fluffylacea</i>), which makes a pretty display at exposed corners
+during the month. The snowy petals, with their lacelike edges, closely
+resemble those of the white carnation.</p>
+
+<p>In Formal Gardens, the Frillia is not encouraged. There is, however, a
+variety known as the <i>Washia</i>, or Monday Plant (<i>Laundria Familiensis</i>),
+a weekly bloomer, common in Kitchen and Roof gardens. It is best started
+in tubs; but when ready to put out requires strong poles, supported by
+which it makes a brave show; but unlike the Hope Vine, it lasts only for
+a day or two before drying up.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>April</h2>
+
+
+<p>This is a very treacherous month for the Gardener. Perhaps the most
+characteristic April flower is the April Hope Plant (<i>Anchoria
+Sanguinia</i>), whose delicate leaves begin to show early in the month.
+Though one of the most fragile of plants in appearance, it is possessed
+of extraordinary vitality. Were it not for this, it would soon fall a
+prey to a capricious but rapacious weed known as the
+<i>April-foolia-Flirtatia Mittifolia</i>, so called from its mitten-shaped
+leaves. This curious plant when in full bloom shows a heart-shaped
+flower, so inviting in appearance that unwary people are seized with an
+irresistible desire to pluck it. Instead of the anticipated pleasure,
+however, they receive a sharp, stinging sensation, not unlike that of a
+nettle. As with the Nettle, too, if the flower be firmly grasped and
+crushed in the hand, the sting will be deadened. This plant should be
+avoided by inexperienced gardeners. It is believed by some that the
+sting caused by the <i>Flirtatia Mittifolia</i> may be cured by crushing
+another flower of the species and applying it to the wound as a counter
+irritant. Another and more reliable cure is a plant called <i>Newflamea</i>,
+which blooms in May. The seed of this beautiful flower may be sown in
+the middle of April, in sheltered places. The constant care and
+attention which it requires will be amply rewarded by the beauty and
+fragrance of its blossom, which appears with the first May sunshine. The
+seed should be kept always on hand, as it can, with attention, be grown
+at any time, and has a wonderfully stimulating effect upon its
+admirers.</p>

+
+<p>A Spring variety of the Aspiration Vine (<i>Aspira Poetica</i>) is also in
+bloom, and fills the air with an indescribable fragrance. It is not in

+cultivation a substitute may be found in the familiar Quotation Plant
+(<i>Bartlettia Familiaris</i>). This, while lacking the freshness of its

+a hardy flower; any one can raise it, care only being required in

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>June</h2>
+
+
+<p>June is called the month of roses. Quite the commonest variety known to
+Hearticulturists is the Blush Rose. This most delicate and sensitive of
+all the flowers in Love's Garden has the astonishing power of changing
+color. The faintest whisper of a Spring Zephyr, the hum of a bee, or the
+note of a bird will cause it to turn from an ivory pink to the deepest
+crimson. Care should be taken in the selection of this variety of roses
+as unscrupulous nurserymen often palm off on inexperienced customers a
+rank imitation, little better than a weed, known as the Common Rouge or
+Make-up Plant (<i>Pigmentia Artificialis</i>), a variety of the Puff Blossom.
+The imposture may be easily detected, however, by the application of the
+water test, a spray of water from a watering can or hose causing the
+false rose to turn a chalky white color with red streaks.</p>
+
+<p>Matrimony is a flower much cultivated in June, but it is difficult to
+raise, and many gardeners refuse to have anything to do with it. Though
+the catalogues advertise highly, we do not recommend it to very young
+gardeners.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>July</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Falling-Star Flowers and the Rocket Climbers, two well-known
+varieties of the Firewort family, make a beautiful show this month; the
+latter especially, which rapidly attains a great height. The Firewort
+family are all night bloomers, and related to the <i>Patriotica
+Americana</i>. Great care must be taken in their raising and plenty of room
+allowed for their expansion; for if checked at the time of blooming,
+they are very dangerous and sometimes even fatal in their effect.
+Children especially should never be allowed to handle them.</p>
+
+<p>The Evening Chaperon is fashionable and useful, but like the Wallflower
+should be planted in out-of-the-way places, such as the other side of
+the wall or gate.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps there is no more familiar or popular summer annual than the
+common or Garden Hammock plant or <i>Swingia</i> (<i>Embracia Pendulosa</i>). It
+is seen at its best in the evening, often blooming late; sometimes it is
+called the Night-Blooming Serious. Though a composite flower, when at
+the full the two heads are often so close as to be mistaken for a single
+one.</p>
+
+<p>Another night-blooming plant is the Serenade vine (<i>Mandolina
+Nightbawlia</i>),&mdash;a climber encouraged by some, but regarded by others as

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>August</h2>
+
+
+<p>There is little work for the Hearticulturist in August. If the Gossip
+Weed and Scandalwood have been kept in check, the young Heart Gardener
+will have ample time to enjoy the feast of color and sweetness that his
+labor and devotion have earned for him.</p>
+
+<p>The gayest note in the color harmony of August is the <i>Parasolia</i>. This
+beautiful plant, which blooms in every color of the rainbow, abounds in
+the hottest weather, and like its sister Sunworshipper, the Sunflower
+(whom the poet Moore has immortalized),&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>
+<span style="margin-left: 3em;">"Turns to her God when he sets</span><br />
+<span style="margin-left: 3em;">The same glance that she turned when he rose."</span><br />
+</p>
+
+<p>So faithful, indeed, is the <i>Parasolia</i> in this respect that a
+distinguished scientist, formerly superintendent of the National Weather
+Bureau, once confessed (in a private interview printed confidentially in
+the Evening <i>Post</i>) that his success in telling whether or no the sun
+were shining was entirely due to his watching the flowers of the
+<i>Parasolia</i>.</p>
+
+<p>At sunset the <i>Parasolia</i> folds its gayly tinted petals for the night,
+giving place to that delicious variety of Night-Blooming Serious, the
+Hammock Plant, which may be seen swaying gently in the moonlight often
+far into the night.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>September</h2>
+
+
+<p>A slight falling off will be noticed this month, especially in the
+leaves, and the garden will need the most careful attention. The
+Engagement Vines often become very much entangled, so that it is hard to
+tell which is which. Straightening them out is a delicate operation, and
+in some cases the shears are necessary.</p>
+
+<p>The Heart Trees especially should be watched this month, to guard
+against blight.</p>
+
+<p>The Golf Plant (<span class="smcap">Crawlia Bragadosia</span>) a dull though persistent creeper,
+related to the Gillieflower, thrives well in September, and indeed in
+all the Autumn months. It is much fancied by up-to-date gardeners. Like
+the poison ivy, it is quite innocuous to many people, but to some it is
+a powerful irritant, causing them to break out in the most violent
+manner. From the fruit of this plant is distilled a strong stimulant
+called Bogey, highly prized by its cultivators, but looked upon with
+contempt by outsiders, who regard the Golf Plant as the greatest pest in
+the vegetable kingdom.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>October</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Hearticulturist must bestir himself in October if he desires his
+garden to present a bright appearance at the end of the season. He will
+find plenty to do, raking up the rapidly falling leaves of the Date
+Plant.</p>
+
+<p>The withered Date Leaves present a mournful appearance, and all traces
+of them should be cleaned away as fast as possible, as they impede the
+growth of the Fall Engagement Vine. These should be well covered, and
+together with the more tender of the Heart Trees taken into the Hot
+House at the first sign of a Frost.</p>
+
+<p>Old-fashioned flowers like Yearning and Aufweedersehen or Absence, with
+their pensive autumn fragrance and soft colors, add much to the beauty
+of the October garden. Yearning, however, though a beautiful flower,
+should be well trimmed and kept within bounds, as it has a tendency to
+become wild when left to itself, in which state it is a most troublesome
+weed.</p>

+
+<h3>November</h3>
+
+
+<p>The Heart Garden would be a dull spectacle in the month of November were
+it not for the brave show of the Thanksgiving Bush (<i>Overeatia
+Nationalia</i>), with its bright turkey-red flower. This together with the
+Reunion Plant (<i>Gatheringea Familiensis</i>), a species of <i>Arborvit&aelig;</i>, of
+which the <i>Smithensis</i> and <i>Jonesia</i> are the commonest varieties, forms
+the color scheme of the November garden. The Reunion Plant especially,
+with its wonderfully intricate and multitudinous branches, shows so many
+varieties of color, form, and scent as almost to be a garden in itself.</p>
+
+<p>A much-prized though unobtrusive November flower is the Correspondence
+Vine (<i>Epistolaria Amoris</i>). This vine flourishes more or less all the
+year round, but grows to a great length during the late months of the
+year. One variety, the <i>Clandestina Epistolaria</i>, is especially shy,
+being rarely seen above the ground. This is a particularly sweet
+variety, but in Formal Gardens it is not encouraged, as its fruit is
+believed by many to be bad in taste and often dangerous in its effect.</p>

+<h2>HEARTICULTURE</h2>
+
+<h2>December</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Hearticulturist may take his well-earned rest in December, as the
+few hardy shrubs that venture out this month are well able to take care
+of themselves.</p>
+
+<p>Most noticeable of these is the Marrygold, a dwarf growth of foreign
+importation, and erroneously supposed to be a sport of the original
+Heart Tree. The Marrygold has a showy yellow flower resembling the
+Dandelion, to which many believe it related, the petals often taking the
+form of a crown or coronet. The leaves are covered with sharp stinging
+spines like those of the Nettle, and the odor is most pungent. However,
+though a disagreeable plant, it has nevertheless a certain vogue, and
+serves to enliven an otherwise dull season.</p>
+
+<p>It is a relief to turn from the pungent Marrygold and the vulgar Push
+Vine to the graceful Puff Plant (<i>Powderminosia Delicatea</i>). This dainty
+flower, though not an out-door bloomer, bears a wintry looking blossom
+of snowy white with a rare fragrance. It is an exquisitely feminine
+flower, being often seen in ornamental pots in boudoirs or on
+dressing-tables, and is eagerly sought after by ladies at fashionable
+balls and other gay functions of the jolly month of December.</p>

+
+<blockquote><p>A showy plant. Great for Hedging. A great deal of time and money have
+been spent in perfecting this plant and many a sleepless night in
+raising it. Grows very large in pots, but the blossoms are sometimes
+slow in opening&mdash;sometimes opened by hand&mdash;not advisable, however,
+unless one has a very sure hand&mdash;otherwise it is apt to prove an
+expensive experiment. Grows in great variety. In fact, it is seldom a
+grower can produce three alike, and if an enthusiast can show four of a
+kind it is something to be remembered&mdash;sometimes with sorrow. Should be
+taken in early or they will freeze out and die. Do not touch with cold
+hands.</p></blockquote>

+<h2>A Word at Parting</h2>
+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Gentle Reader</span>:&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>In bringing out this little book we feel that we are doing a great
+service. We know it is needed; the world has needed it for a long time.
+Adam, even, might have been a better gardener had this book been
+available. Who can say? Perhaps he would not have had to give up the old
+farm and move away, had he had this Almanac to guide him. And then there
+are Hero and Leander, Paris and Helen, Abelard and Helo&iuml;se, Paolo and
+Francesca, and so many, many others&mdash;how different it might all have
+been had we only published this little book a few thousand years ago! We
+are filled with regret. The one consoling thought is that we are better
+fitted for the work now. We are older and we think wiser.</p>
+
+<p>From time to time, as we see the need, we shall issue new volumes of
+Cupid's Almanac, thoroughly revised and up to date on all matters
+pertaining to Hearticulture and its kindred pursuits.</p>
+
+<p>We thank you, Generous Reader, for your patience and your patronage.</p>

+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+Artists' Note
+
+
+_To the lovers of Beauty no branch of science offers such varied
+delights as that of Hearticulture; at the same time no pursuit is so
+full of disappointments for the inexperienced and pitfalls for the
+unwary. It is the study of a lifetime; no one can say he is a master of
+Hearticulture. Many of the most successful gardeners give it up as they
+become older: some from disappointment over a trifling failure, others
+from sheer weariness; still more take up a branch of nursery-gardening
+called Matrimony, which demands such close attention and care that it
+has come to be regarded as a profession in itself._
+
+_It has even been asserted that Matrimony is no branch of Hearticulture
+at all--a statement so far from the truth that it can only come from a
+disappointed or unsuccessful Heart Gardener. Be warned, dear reader; if
+you should take up this highest and most beautiful of all the branches
+of Hearticulture with such an erroneous idea, you are foredoomed to
+failure._
+
+_If this little book be the means of showing to even the least of these
+the error of his ways, we shall not feel that it has been made in vain._

+
+January
+
+
+One cannot begin too early, and January is the time for looking over the
+ground and planning the arrangement of the Heart Garden.
+
+Outside of the Hothouse few flowers are to be seen in January. The most
+noticeable of these is the Common Turnleaf or Resolution Plant, a sort
+of Neverlasting Flower. The Turnleaf abounds during the early days of
+January, but disappears as the month progresses.
+
+It is a showy plant, with its curiously marked leaves, but is seldom
+known to blossom. The Flower, which is said to be of the purest white,
+with an odor somewhat resembling Sanctity, is entirely concealed by the
+leaves, which begin to turn as soon as the plant is full-grown.
+
+When the new leaves have completely turned over, the flower will be seen
+in all its snowy beauty. This, however, rarely happens, as most of the
+plants die long before the turning process is accomplished.
+
+Another winter-blooming flower is the Valentine Plant (_Lovelornia
+Desperatia_), one of the _Epistolaria_ Family. This should be set out
+towards the end of the month, as it flowers in the middle of February.
+
+     _NOTE._ Recent investigations have shown that this destructive
+     Blight, of which the Turnleaf is the victim, is caused by a deadly
+     germ known as _Jus Twunsmoria_.

+
+February
+
+
+The Valentine Plants are now fully grown, but the flowers do not appear
+until the middle of the month, when they are ready to be packed, and
+sent by the male to all parts of the world.
+
+The Valentine Plants are very sensitive to environment and temperature,
+and occasionally produce a flower, remarkably like that of the Poppia or
+Proposal Plant, to which it is said by some to be allied.
+
+There is another variety of the Valentine Plant, much dreaded by
+Hearticulturists, and unfortunately only too common, known as _Valentina
+Vulgaria_. In well-kept gardens it is regarded as a weed and destroyed
+whenever it appears. The flower is gaudy in color and emits a most
+offensive odor. A powerful irritant to all the senses, it is to some
+people quite poisonous, though rarely fatal in its effects.
+
+The Social Climber (_Aspira Socialis_) or Push Vine, which blooms in the
+most inclement weather and in the most Uninviting Places, is often seen
+during this month. By fastidious gardeners it is considered an
+undesirable visitor, and though impossible to exclude it altogether, if
+kept well in check during the winter it will be less troublesome in the
+summer months. The Push Vine is the toughest of all the Aspiration
+Vines, and under favorable circumstances attains a great height.

+
+March
+
+
+It is still too cold to set out the young Hope Plants. Hope poles for
+their support should be out in readiness and stuck in the ground at
+proper intervals. For this purpose the best poles are Spruce, or Heart
+of Oak, or if the Hope Plants live till midsummer, the Sea Beach.
+Weeping Willow, and Pine, of course, should be avoided.
+
+Weeding must now begin in earnest, though it is as yet too early for the
+Gossip Weed and the poisonous Scandalwood.
+
+Antipathy, another noxious weed, in its early stages often resembles
+Reciprocation, the very sweetest of all the early spring flowers. Even
+the Seeds of these two plants are so alike that one sometimes sows
+Antipathy when he thinks he is sowing Reciprocation.
+
+Another pretty flower that blows chiefly in March is the Lingerie Plant
+(_Frillia Fluffylacea_), which makes a pretty display at exposed corners
+during the month. The snowy petals, with their lacelike edges, closely
+resemble those of the white carnation.
+
+In Formal Gardens, the Frillia is not encouraged. There is, however, a
+variety known as the _Washia_, or Monday Plant (_Laundria Familiensis_),
+a weekly bloomer, common in Kitchen and Roof gardens. It is best started
+in tubs; but when ready to put out requires strong poles, supported by
+which it makes a brave show; but unlike the Hope Vine, it lasts only for
+a day or two before drying up.

+
+April
+
+
+This is a very treacherous month for the Gardener. Perhaps the most
+characteristic April flower is the April Hope Plant (_Anchoria
+Sanguinia_), whose delicate leaves begin to show early in the month.
+Though one of the most fragile of plants in appearance, it is possessed
+of extraordinary vitality. Were it not for this, it would soon fall a
+prey to a capricious but rapacious weed known as the
+_April-foolia-Flirtatia Mittifolia_, so called from its mitten-shaped
+leaves. This curious plant when in full bloom shows a heart-shaped
+flower, so inviting in appearance that unwary people are seized with an
+irresistible desire to pluck it. Instead of the anticipated pleasure,
+however, they receive a sharp, stinging sensation, not unlike that of a
+nettle. As with the Nettle, too, if the flower be firmly grasped and
+crushed in the hand, the sting will be deadened. This plant should be
+avoided by inexperienced gardeners. It is believed by some that the
+sting caused by the _Flirtatia Mittifolia_ may be cured by crushing
+another flower of the species and applying it to the wound as a counter
+irritant. Another and more reliable cure is a plant called _Newflamea_,
+which blooms in May. The seed of this beautiful flower may be sown in
+the middle of April, in sheltered places. The constant care and
+attention which it requires will be amply rewarded by the beauty and
+fragrance of its blossom, which appears with the first May sunshine. The
+seed should be kept always on hand, as it can, with attention, be grown
+at any time, and has a wonderfully stimulating effect upon its
+admirers.

+
+
+The Gardener now begins to reap the reward of his toil of the past few
+weeks. With the bright blossoms of the Hope Vines and the Newflamea
+Plant, the Garden already presents a lively appearance.
+
+A Spring variety of the Aspiration Vine (_Aspira Poetica_) is also in
+bloom, and fills the air with an indescribable fragrance. It is not in
+any way related to the common or garden Asparagus, as the name might
+suggest. The _Aspira Poetica_ is a capricious plant, however, and few
+can bring it to perfection; for those who are unsuccessful in its
+cultivation a substitute may be found in the familiar Quotation Plant
+(_Bartlettia Familiaris_). This, while lacking the freshness of its
+Sister Plant, is a showy and reliable Bloomer all the year round. It is
+a hardy flower; any one can raise it, care only being required in
+selection from many varieties.
+
+Young gardeners should be cautioned against a too great display of these
+plants, as some varieties contain a powerful narcotic, which often
+causes people to lose consciousness, while in the very act of admiring
+their beauty.

+June
+
+
+June is called the month of roses. Quite the commonest variety known to
+Hearticulturists is the Blush Rose. This most delicate and sensitive of
+all the flowers in Love's Garden has the astonishing power of changing
+color. The faintest whisper of a Spring Zephyr, the hum of a bee, or the
+note of a bird will cause it to turn from an ivory pink to the deepest
+crimson. Care should be taken in the selection of this variety of roses
+as unscrupulous nurserymen often palm off on inexperienced customers a
+rank imitation, little better than a weed, known as the Common Rouge or
+Make-up Plant (_Pigmentia Artificialis_), a variety of the Puff Blossom.
+The imposture may be easily detected, however, by the application of the
+water test, a spray of water from a watering can or hose causing the
+false rose to turn a chalky white color with red streaks.
+
+Matrimony is a flower much cultivated in June, but it is difficult to
+raise, and many gardeners refuse to have anything to do with it. Though
+the catalogues advertise highly, we do not recommend it to very young
+gardeners.

+July
+
+
+The Falling-Star Flowers and the Rocket Climbers, two well-known
+varieties of the Firewort family, make a beautiful show this month; the
+latter especially, which rapidly attains a great height. The Firewort
+family are all night bloomers, and related to the _Patriotica
+Americana_. Great care must be taken in their raising and plenty of room
+allowed for their expansion; for if checked at the time of blooming,
+they are very dangerous and sometimes even fatal in their effect.
+Children especially should never be allowed to handle them.
+
+The Evening Chaperon is fashionable and useful, but like the Wallflower
+should be planted in out-of-the-way places, such as the other side of
+the wall or gate.
+
+Perhaps there is no more familiar or popular summer annual than the
+common or Garden Hammock plant or _Swingia_ (_Embracia Pendulosa_). It
+is seen at its best in the evening, often blooming late; sometimes it is
+called the Night-Blooming Serious. Though a composite flower, when at
+the full the two heads are often so close as to be mistaken for a single
+one.
+
+Another night-blooming plant is the Serenade vine (_Mandolina
+Nightbawlia_),--a climber encouraged by some, but regarded by others as
+a nuisance. Unlike other vines, it cannot stand wet weather. A sudden
+rain, the spray of a hose, even a pitcher of water, will choke it off
+altogether.

+August
+
+
+There is little work for the Hearticulturist in August. If the Gossip
+Weed and Scandalwood have been kept in check, the young Heart Gardener
+will have ample time to enjoy the feast of color and sweetness that his
+labor and devotion have earned for him.
+
+The gayest note in the color harmony of August is the _Parasolia_. This
+beautiful plant, which blooms in every color of the rainbow, abounds in
+the hottest weather, and like its sister Sunworshipper, the Sunflower
+(whom the poet Moore has immortalized),--
+
+  "Turns to her God when he sets
+  The same glance that she turned when he rose."
+
+So faithful, indeed, is the _Parasolia_ in this respect that a
+distinguished scientist, formerly superintendent of the National Weather
+Bureau, once confessed (in a private interview printed confidentially in
+the Evening _Post_) that his success in telling whether or no the sun
+were shining was entirely due to his watching the flowers of the
+_Parasolia_.
+
+At sunset the _Parasolia_ folds its gayly tinted petals for the night,
+giving place to that delicious variety of Night-Blooming Serious, the
+Hammock Plant, which may be seen swaying gently in the moonlight often
+far into the night.

+A slight falling off will be noticed this month, especially in the
+leaves, and the garden will need the most careful attention. The
+Engagement Vines often become very much entangled, so that it is hard to
+tell which is which. Straightening them out is a delicate operation, and
+in some cases the shears are necessary.
+
+The Heart Trees especially should be watched this month, to guard
+against blight.
+
+The Golf Plant (CRAWLIA BRAGADOSIA) a dull though persistent creeper,
+related to the Gillieflower, thrives well in September, and indeed in
+all the Autumn months. It is much fancied by up-to-date gardeners. Like
+the poison ivy, it is quite innocuous to many people, but to some it is
+a powerful irritant, causing them to break out in the most violent
+manner. From the fruit of this plant is distilled a strong stimulant
+called Bogey, highly prized by its cultivators, but looked upon with
+contempt by outsiders, who regard the Golf Plant as the greatest pest in
+the vegetable kingdom.

+
+October
+
+
+The Hearticulturist must bestir himself in October if he desires his
+garden to present a bright appearance at the end of the season. He will
+find plenty to do, raking up the rapidly falling leaves of the Date
+Plant.
+
+The withered Date Leaves present a mournful appearance, and all traces
+of them should be cleaned away as fast as possible, as they impede the
+growth of the Fall Engagement Vine. These should be well covered, and
+together with the more tender of the Heart Trees taken into the Hot
+House at the first sign of a Frost.
+
+Old-fashioned flowers like Yearning and Aufweedersehen or Absence, with
+their pensive autumn fragrance and soft colors, add much to the beauty
+of the October garden. Yearning, however, though a beautiful flower,
+should be well trimmed and kept within bounds, as it has a tendency to
+become wild when left to itself, in which state it is a most troublesome
+weed.

+November
+
+
+The Heart Garden would be a dull spectacle in the month of November were
+it not for the brave show of the Thanksgiving Bush (_Overeatia
+Nationalia_), with its bright turkey-red flower. This together with the
+Reunion Plant (_Gatheringea Familiensis_), a species of _Arborvitae_, of
+which the _Smithensis_ and _Jonesia_ are the commonest varieties, forms
+the color scheme of the November garden. The Reunion Plant especially,
+with its wonderfully intricate and multitudinous branches, shows so many
+varieties of color, form, and scent as almost to be a garden in itself.
+
+A much-prized though unobtrusive November flower is the Correspondence
+Vine (_Epistolaria Amoris_). This vine flourishes more or less all the
+year round, but grows to a great length during the late months of the
+year. One variety, the _Clandestina Epistolaria_, is especially shy,
+being rarely seen above the ground. This is a particularly sweet
+variety, but in Formal Gardens it is not encouraged, as its fruit is
+believed by many to be bad in taste and often dangerous in its effect.

+
+December
+
+
+The Hearticulturist may take his well-earned rest in December, as the
+few hardy shrubs that venture out this month are well able to take care
+of themselves.
+
+Most noticeable of these is the Marrygold, a dwarf growth of foreign
+importation, and erroneously supposed to be a sport of the original
+Heart Tree. The Marrygold has a showy yellow flower resembling the
+Dandelion, to which many believe it related, the petals often taking the
+form of a crown or coronet. The leaves are covered with sharp stinging
+spines like those of the Nettle, and the odor is most pungent. However,
+though a disagreeable plant, it has nevertheless a certain vogue, and
+serves to enliven an otherwise dull season.
+
+It is a relief to turn from the pungent Marrygold and the vulgar Push
+Vine to the graceful Puff Plant (_Powderminosia Delicatea_). This dainty
+flower, though not an out-door bloomer, bears a wintry looking blossom
+of snowy white with a rare fragrance. It is an exquisitely feminine
+flower, being often seen in ornamental pots in boudoirs or on
+dressing-tables, and is eagerly sought after by ladies at fashionable
+balls and other gay functions of the jolly month of December.

+
+THE POKER PLANT
+
+_Cardinea_
+
+A showy plant. Great for Hedging. A great deal of time and money have
+been spent in perfecting this plant and many a sleepless night in
+raising it. Grows very large in pots, but the blossoms are sometimes
+slow in opening--sometimes opened by hand--not advisable, however,
+unless one has a very sure hand--otherwise it is apt to prove an
+expensive experiment. Grows in great variety. In fact, it is seldom a
+grower can produce three alike, and if an enthusiast can show four of a
+kind it is something to be remembered--sometimes with sorrow. Should be
+taken in early or they will freeze out and die. Do not touch with cold
+hands.

+A Word at Parting
+
+
+GENTLE READER:--
+
+In bringing out this little book we feel that we are doing a great
+service. We know it is needed; the world has needed it for a long time.
+Adam, even, might have been a better gardener had this book been
+available. Who can say? Perhaps he would not have had to give up the old
+farm and move away, had he had this Almanac to guide him. And then there
+are Hero and Leander, Paris and Helen, Abelard and Heloise, Paolo and
+Francesca, and so many, many others--how different it might all have
+been had we only published this little book a few thousand years ago! We
+are filled with regret. The one consoling thought is that we are better
+fitted for the work now. We are older and we think wiser.
+
+From time to time, as we see the need, we shall issue new volumes of
+Cupid's Almanac, thoroughly revised and up to date on all matters
+pertaining to Hearticulture and its kindred pursuits.
+
+We thank you, Generous Reader, for your patience and your patronage.
+
+                  And beg to remain,
+                           Faithfully,
+                              Your humble servants,
+                                     THE AUTHORS.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE

+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.

+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
