A Song of October Days.


 And the pathway leading down Through the tangle of the thicket to
 the borders of the brook. Where the golden-rod blaze Signals through october days I'll our feet are faiD to wander to the
 echo-haunted nook. Thistle bloom all fine and white That goes dancing as sprtte Up and up until 1t circles in the bosom
 of the sky, And the miikweed's bursting pod That the wayward breezes nod
 as they gaily scurry by. Crickets chirping in croon Through the still mid-afternoon, Smoky clouds that gieam as brightly
 as distant. sunkissed sail. Whispered rustic of the corn That would have sound forlorn Were it not for all the piping of the
 merry-hearted quail Now cut clover that is sweet As 1t was in summers heat And that waits a breath of fragrance
 clean and pure as that of June; Blossoms on the very weeds Mingled with the falling seeds As though lowered spring and ripened
 days of autumn are In tune And the woodbine's scarlet stream Down the oak trees side agleam Like the brimming of a goblet flled
 with rare autumnal wine. And the falling of the hulls In the hushes and the lulls Times the melody that murmurs in
 these hearts of yours and mine. Ho, the brown leaves and the red Underfoot and overhead And the naples golden glory in the
 sunsets wondrous haze With the wine-tang in the air So we stand with heads all bare And tn ank God for all the goodness of
 the rare October days! Wilbur Nesbit in Chicago News.

 Fruitda1e. Ala, Oct. 6. 1907. Flower Growers Association, Mont
 have been reading from month to month the articles from your Associa- tion in The Advertiser and have taken considerable interest in the Association and the articles in today's paper re- garding our work along this line and I will enclose herewith copy of an arr ticle written some time ago regarding our work which undoubtedly will in- terest you. ".
 wish that you could see our fields at the present time as they are one of the most beautiful sights that can be found anywhere in the world. M
 We have three different fields that are in sight of the Mobile and Ohio 1dtTeau so tnat tney can De seen from the car windows and the train men tell us that seldom train passes but some of the passengers ask questions regardlng the beautiful display. One of these fields right in the village of Fruitdale, contains two acres and the other two, which are about a mile north of town, contain three acres each. These three fields are only about one- third of our entire crop.
 note that in your notice of your exchange meeting for next month ref is made to the orchid towering, cannas as preferred, and I feel sure if you and your friends could see our grand new kinds of the cozy type you would consider them fully the equal if not the superior to the other type.
 I hope to visit your part of the State some time in the not distant future and if it should be possible to time my visit so that might be in your city on the date of your meetings it would give me great pleasure to give your members little talk about cannas.
 remain truly yours,

Garden Flowers, the Flowers of the
 Field.
 It would be ungrateful to the beau tiful Salvia, whose scarlet fronts greet us at every turn, were we not to give them a word of recognition or I'd rath- CT say of admiration. It is strange that the Salvia is not more cultivated. A few plants, when we'll established, take a lease on the land, sowing itself year after year, and the plants thus Bown, are much larger than those grown from cuttings, the Salvia can be brought into bloom by June, and its blooming period lasts not only to the Ides of November, but to those of December, we have often gathered large quantities of them to vie with the golden pumpkin in making beauti- ful the Harvest Home Festival. Speak ing to a flower grower of the Salvia. she told us of something Interesting, that this flower, seen before only in the garden, had become flower of the field. She had been told by gentle man who had just returned from a visit to South Georgia and Alabama that the roadsides and the corners of the fields were ablaze with the fam ing fronds of Salvia, like tongues of fire on that far-off Pentacostal day.
 The Salvia seed grown in some hum ble home. had been scattered by the
 
 heaven had nourished 1t until the land scape was aglow. Should the flower growers carry out the suggestion made by our President. the floral role of garden flowers, now flowers of the field, would be almost perfect; her sug- gestion was that we should plant pop py seed and make their cultivation so universal that the poppy would resow Itself and our Alabama acres rival the beautiful poppy fields of south ern Europe. As we said above, the floral role of garden flow CTS Now flowers of the field would be almost perfect, and would share with the glorious sun in its mission of brightenlng this grey earth. With the first warm days of spring comes the Texas pink, or, what some call the Catholic primrose. as its petals enclose a tiny St. Andrews cross; 1t Is cer- tainly Catholic in it's universality reaching from Texas to Maine. and from the far Northwest to the Ever

 The United States has in the past few years awakened to the fact that 1t has been working along destructive lines: clearing away the forest, de- Etroying a wealth of beauty to make homes for the thousands of people, but now a new age is dawning on this continent that of planting and of up- building instead of destroying the beautiful.
 Thousads Of home grounds all over the country are being planted and beautified each year and the whole world Is being searched for the needed shrubs. trees, and plants to decorate and beautify not only the private places but the public parks as well.
 Much of this stock has been import cd. but whatever can be produced in Europe can be produced here In our Southern States. and among all the beautiful plants and flowers that suc- ceed so well here. none can surpass the Canna. One of the species of this plant is a native of Florida and al- though it was the French and Italian florists. who by crossing and hybridiz- ing them first brought out the small lowered wild sorts the grand flowers of more recent years, it has been left to American growers to add to the list many of the finest kinds of today, and year by year the Canna has grown in popularity until today 1t stands second to none as a grand bedding plant for general cultivation.
