Transylvania 4-H Clubs
4-H Horticulture Project
The 4-H Horticultural Pro
gram provides an exciting ad
venture with living things. In
doors you can have greenery at
every season when your garden
indoors. You can grow flowers
from seed or start new plants
by rooting cuttings or leaves,
even on an apartment window
sill. Outdoors, you can grow
your favorite vegetable (corn,
beans, sweet potatoes). Love
strawberries? Grow your own.
Remember, it takes two years
for fruit plants to bear fruit.
They’ll taste better for the
waiting.
For beauty, an artful ar
rangement of flowers can add
color to a dark corner of your
home: Gay flower pots can
brighten a winter window.
Shade trees add comfort as well
as beauty. Fruit trees will yield
flowers in spring, fruit in sum
mer. Be creative! Plant for
beauty.
For profit there is always a
market for garden produce. Set
up a road-side stand to sell
your own fruits and vegetables,
or specialize in one large crop
and contract it to a commercial
cannery. Raise chrysanthemums
or gladiolus for a local florist,
or tending lawns and gardens
for vacationing neighbors.
For excitement, join 4-H and
be a part of nature’s miracle.
The fun is yours in 4-H.
