present time is in glorious bloom. NOTHING

county into beautiful flower gardens, loaded
with fragrance, gardens which, to residents
OF portions Of the state ono hundred miles
distant, are unknown, and which cause lovers
Of flowers TO go Into ecstacies of delight upon
beholding them. This year the bushes are
blooming more profusely than they have for
years, due, il is said to the fact that the
heavy snow falls of last winter protected the
roots Of the bushes TO an unusual degree.
Whether this be so OF not, the hills are so
covered that it will repay trip to some Of
tho hill sides to more closely enjoy their
beauty and fragrance.
