S. A. l.. Seed Distribution.

The Seaboard Air Line Is doing n
great work in its efforts to inculcate a
love OF the beautiful in nature In the
sections that it traverses. One of the
means that this progressive system
takes to accomplish this is the free
distribution of flower seeds and Chief
Industrial Agent John T. Patrick, of
Pinebluff. N. c., is just now busy send
ing out thousands Of packets of choice,
tested flower seeds. These include
many OF the old favortes. such as
sweet peas. zuinias and cockscomb. as
well as newer flowers and seeds of
plants that have some economic value.
This work is bearing substantial fruit
in the general Improvement of the
homes and streets in many communi-
ties. and the consequent increase i'm
value of property. Beyond this there
is an Improvement in manhood and
womanhood. induced by brighter sur
roundings. that cannot be measured in
dollars and cents.

purpose to earnestly labor for an ex-
