Swinging gently in ones hammock
beneath wide spreading fig trees load
ed with luscious fruit, and breathing
into the nostrils the fragrance of a
field of Peruvian clover mingling with
the almost tropical bloom about me, 1t
is indeed hard TO believe that this very
spot, only u few years ago, boasted
naught save the horned toad, the
Gila monster and the rattlesnake. A
suspicion of scent of desert sage
waited on summer mornings zephyr

beyond this fair oasls, gaunt desola-

wide under relentless skies of brass.
All these thoughts and others are
yours when you drop into Phoenix

your eyes on the green verdure which
seems to spring suddenly from out
the sere desert.

Phoenix, beautiful in garb Of
tropical luxuriance, with wide aven-

shapely umbrella trees, with pleasant
homes almost hidden by vines and
flowers, bids you welcome.
