This is of the greatest importance, and the success of -your work depends largely upon the judgment used in selecting the time to -begin. - -Enthusiasm is necessary but do not be too impetuous for many a failure -has come from rushing ahead while yet conditions are too cold and many a -Hope Vine has been killed by a late frost. - -If you have started your work indoors do not be in too great haste to -set out; young plants need a great deal of warmth and attention and can -stand extremely high temperature, while very little cold is apt to be -fatal. - -In Hearticulture so much depends on—whether? - -[Illustration: O.

This is succeeded -by a wave of Good Resolutions, accompanied by a general downpour of Ice -Water. The cold wave may be counted upon to pass quickly, being followed -by brighter days and a Rising Glass. - -[Illustration] - - - - -FEBRUARY - - -[Illustration: _Pisces_] - -The Fishes - -[Illustration] - -THE FISHES - - Now forth to fish goes good Saint Valentine, - And baits his gentle hook with tender wishes, - Cupid has lent his bow for rod and line. - Alas! Our time has come—we are the fishes. - -CUPID’S FORECAST - -FEBRUARY - -Generally frigid airs, varied by storms and melting spells, with -changing temperature until the Fourteenth, when a soft wave will sweep -over the country accompanied by sentimental Mail Storms, resulting in a -general rise of temperament and a happier atmosphere. Husbandmen who are -cultivating matrimony will be much troubled through this month by the -squally nights. - -[Illustration] - - - - -MARCH - - -[Illustration: _Aries_] - -The Ram - -[Illustration] - -THE RAM - - The wind is like to a Rampageous Ram, - That rushes to and fro and round about. - I speed my parting hat with futile damn, - As my umbrella turneth inside out. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -CUPID’S FORECAST - -MARCH - -Marked coldness, followed by windy sighs, culminating in stormy bluster. -Alternate Frostiness and Melting. A depressing month and one to test the -intensity of the heart gardener. All but the hardiest plants must be -given extreme attention, and many gardeners, to avoid the danger of a -frost, sit up far into the night with their favorite plants during this -month.

Towards the end of the -month a slightly depressed atmosphere, but the month will end with a -sunlit sea and warm waves.

Unpleasant underfoot for Hearts. Dark, cloudy -outlook, with small hope of clearing up. Heavy rain of bills, followed by -many terrible male storms. Weather brightens slightly, but stuffy towards -Thanksgiving. High winds follow, caused by everyone complaining at once -about the weather. - -[Illustration] - - - - -DECEMBER - - -[Illustration: _Capricorn_] - -The Goat - -[Illustration] - -THE GOAT - - Frolic of foot yet bearded like a sage, - The Goat may stand for Jovial Old Age. - His horns are horns of plenty and good cheer, - He is the jolly MASCOT of the year. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: Pattern of a nice Christmas present for a young man - -A good pattern for making up at any time] - -CUPID’S FORECAST - -DECEMBER - -Brighter. Very cold for those outside, but warm on the inside, where -there is a tendency to Hot Air. The cheerful sounds of Kissing Larks are -heard under the mistletoe branches. Bracing weather everywhere. Excellent -for skates, and good slaying for Cupid. About the 25th of the month a -terrific shower of gifts and good wishes may be looked for. The month -will end in violent Brain Storms. - -[Illustration] - - - - -ADDENDA - -[Illustration] - - -NOTE - -For many years the question has been much discussed as to the value, to -Hearticulturists, of Moonlight as a plant food. - -From our own experiments we have found it of the greatest help and a -decided stimulant to the Engagement Vines; the Proposal Plant invariably, -although seemingly on the point of bursting into flower, defers its -blossoming until a moonlight night; while our Hammock Vines have lost -half their sweetness when Moonlight has not been supplied them. On the -other hand, our Porch Climbers have not done so well with Moonlight. - - -TIDES - -Their are two kinds of Tides, the Tied and the Untied. Most of the Tied -would rather be Untied and all of the Untied want to be Tied—and they -will. (This is life.) - -All through the Spring months the Untied will be very active, in fact, -until the full of the late June Moon, known as the “Honeymoon,” after -which time a tremendous increase may be noticed in the Tieds. This is -often spoken of as “the Swell of the Tied.” - -Through the summer months the Tieds will run smoothly (often because they -are far apart). - -With Fall, however, many Tieds will be again united and it will be cold -and squally and there will be very large bill owes and storms. - -But through it all the dear old Gulp Stream will ever flow merrily on, -dispensing Warmth, Good Cheer and Forgetfulness. - -Some famous Tiedal waves have been: - - Brigham Young - Venus - Blue Beard - Solomon - - -RESOLUTIONS _for the_ ENSUING YEAR - - _Resolved_: __________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - ______________________________________________ - - _Above resolution broken_: - - _Date_: - - ______________________________________________ - - O, WELL! - -[Illustration] - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Cupid's Fair-Weather Booke, by -Oliver Herford and John Cecil Clay - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CUPID'S FAIR-WEATHER BOOKE *** - -***** This file should be named 56197-0.txt or 56197-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/6/1/9/56197/ - -Produced by David Edwards and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was -produced from images generously made available by The -Internet Archive) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone. For forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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. - |
