it is SO.
We want to give word of advice to
the ladies of Grayling. who are mourn
ing the want of fruit and flowers about
their homes. Make il a constant theme
of conversation with your husbands
until they realize the necessity of sup
plying the want this spring. Do not
admit any excuse to cause longer de
lay, for there is not man in the city
who cannot easily furnish all the cut
tings and roots and seeds necessary,
and in two years we can be perfectly
independent of the outside world in
this respect. They will thank you foi
your persistence after while, though
they may growl little now.
