A NATIONAL FLOWER
Fruitless Search for One Suit
able for tie United
States,

American sentiment has for some time
sought a national flower, but, despite the
long and vigorous campaign In favor OF
now this blossom and now that, we are
still without a national emblem.
There seem to be two vital require
ments OF any blossom which is TO repre-
sent us along with Frances lily, England's
rose, reland's shamrock and Scotland s
thistle. First. the blossom must lie ra-
tive to the country and Of wide growth;
second, It should be available for deco
rative purposes on the national holidays.
The first agitation for a national flower
began in 1887, when Miss Margaret B..
Harvey of Pennsylvania wrote a poem
entitled, The National Flower or Valley
Forge Arbutus,' The idea Of selecting the
ma. flower or trailing arbutus at once took
the national fancy. 1t Is native TO all
the thirteen original states, It was the first
blossom to greet the pilgrim fathers after
their arduous voyage ard was the Herald
Of the coming of spring TO Washington's
soldiers after the deprivations OF Valley
Forge. The flower suggests a five-p inted
star. and its independence and refusal to
submit to cultivation become the temper
Of the American people.
But In the midst Of the enthusiasm it
was discovered that the arbutus was al
ready the national flower Of Nova Scotia.
and sentiment at once turned away
from 1t.
The next candidate for national honors
was the golden-rod, which was suggested
in a letter printed in the Boston Globe the
following year-lSSS. The wide growth Of
this blossom, its vigor and strong beauty
were arguments which seemed likely to
win It official recognition.
In 1889 the J.. Prang company Issued a
booklet containing colored cuts Of the
golden-rod ana the aTbltus. copies Of
which We're sent throughout the country
In order to secure a vote upon the ques-
ton Of a national blossom. Popular choice
endorsed the g~olden-rod, as IL did again
some months later I'm a vote taken among
the school children,
But in the heyday Of its favor tae golden
ROD became the victim OF a shift OF sentl-
ment. Farmers seoffed at the weed. as they
considered IL. and even went so far as 10
hold 1t responsible for several diseases COM
mon to cattle. II was further diseredited
n the public favor by the belief that IT

caused hay fever and asthma II brought
within doors. Then 1t was remembered that
1t bloomed too late TO be used on the ma
tional holidays, Independence day and Deco
ration day, and it was also discovered that
when used within doors It lost much OF its
brilliant color which was its chief beauty
So the tickle taste of people waned..
At the time of the Columbian exposition
there was a determined effort to make In
dian maize the national flower. Edna Dean
Proctor wrote a charming poem on the In
dian maize and the Arena Magazine in 1879
contained several ~Symposiums upon the
subject. But popular sentiment refused T.
see a flower in the maize and so that cam
paign failed.
At that time the Pansy Society of Amer
lea was organized by Mr.. Albert C, Hopkins
OF Nashua, Ia, to advance the interest OF
the pansy as the national flower. The ef-
forts of the society were largely among
school children, but became powerful
enough to have two bills introduced into
congress e%mbodying their ideas.
The first bill was for the purpose Of
recognizing the pansy as the national
flower, and appointing that Tie inuagura-
ton day OF the emblem be celebrated May
l, 1898. in connection with the opening o:
the worlds Columbian exposition.
The second measure proposed to arrange
the stars of the flag so as to give the eff
feet Of a white pansy in a blue field. The
staff of the flag was to be made TO repre-
sent a sleeping rattlesnake, head downward,
with an acorn for a head and a white pansy
bud in place OF ~rattles, "the whole symbol
izing defense, courage, wisdom. strength,
peace and Immortality"
Needless to say the measures failed OF
passage and the efforts of the society have
waned and the American people are flower

and other pastry as they are made. These
open shelves are also necessary as a place
to lay the dessert and other dishes which
are to be placed on the table during the
progress of the meal. The lower part OF
the pantry fixtures should be divided into
compartments and drawers to suit in
dividual requirements. Some housekeep-
ers would require in the pantry fixtures
a place for the hash bowl, kneading board
and a place for storing extension table
boards. A little careful planning will!
usually find a place for all of these. Each
pantry should have several broad drawers
for table linen and small drawer for knives,
forks, etc. The average table cloth is six
feet wide and folds up to eighteen inches.
1t needs a drawer about two feet long to
contain 1t properly. A six-foot drawer fol
table cloths is sometimes used In a large
pantry. It is a mere luxury, however, and
Is not absolutely necessary. 1t should be
very shallow when used or II cannot b.
pulled out easily. A drawer about 2Sx2S
inches by 2 inches deep, inside measure
ments, is really needed to contain doilies.
centerpieces and tray cloths which are
never folded. 1t is best not to make the
awe very deep, but make more rows
of them. A deep drawer, when filled, can
not be easily drawn back and forth. Five
inches is a good depth for a pantry drawer
and six inches should be the limit.
