Kathy,

This came up on Google...with a search...who said gardening is the only acceptable form of gambling...

The American Flower Garden - Google Books Result
by Neltje Blanchan, Nellie Blanchan De Graff ... - 1913 - Gardening - 368 pages
The more expensive sorts, it is observed, are said to bear the largest, handsomest flowers, 
... Gardening is only a refined form of gambling, after all. ...

Hope this helps...
