"Flowers."

The meeting Of the Home Economics
Club in the Normal.
Il have been requested by the com
miiiee to introduce for discussion the
study Of flowers. their beauty. design;
their vared uses; m ode Of culture. etc,
and viii express few Of my thoughts
on this subject.
Personally. cannot conceive Of any
thing more beautiful than flowers. In
deed. who has not fell the elevaiing IN
Huence Of their beauty and been drawn
incsistably upward in gratitude to the
Supreme Being whose love and wisdom
ha. planned thi, srea, boon for his
earthly children. Who that has climbed
to the summit Of our grand old noun
tains. and wandered amid those grace
lul elumps Of forest pines, and through
the delightfully."- cool. shady glades but
recall with thrill Of gladness the de-
light that welled up from the heart; the
intense rapture that filed the entire be-
ing as the eye gazed with admiration
and awe on the myriads Of the loveliest
flowers minglng with the bngh, verdure
Of the landscape. There are very few
people indeed. who do not appreciate
the flowers. In fact. can call to mind
jus, now but one person Of my acquain-
lance who was really averse to them.
and have often thought that in the at
tribute Of love for the beautiful his make
up was sadly deficient. Yes. we love
the flowers, and watch with delight the
unfolding Of their FIRST petals in the
spring. and feel throb Of sadness at
their disappearsnce in the autumn.
This earth Of ours would not be half so
beautiful were il not for the lovely hues
and the sweet fragrance Of the myriad
flowers that bloom along our pathway.
Our Heavenly Parent knew full well
the great blessing he was confenins upon
his children when he caused to spring up
in the mountains. the valleys. and plains,
those lovely flowers to please the eye and
gladden. the h;man heart. and He is well
pleased to see so many Of US enjoying
his gift. Surely the flowers are some Of
Gods messengers to mankind; they are
the emblcms Of purity; they breathe
around our homes the spirit Of love and
peace; they liz from our hearts the bur
den Of sadness and bring solace and
comfort to the deeply afflicted.
Their uses are legion. We weave
them in bridal wrea,hs for our fair
daughters we proiusely decorate our
parlors with them; we add sociably.
pleasure, good will and unity among each
other by the simple exchange Of bo-
quet Of sweet flowers; we tenderly ar
range them in the chamber Of the sick,
and note the delight Of the Invalid, and
accept with secret pleasure their mute
thanks; and we place them reveren,ly
upon and around the bier Of our de-
parted loved ones.
Their culture. Of course, is world
wide. The varieties almost endless;
their mode OF treatment inexhaustble, In
order be to successful one must be ia
miliM with their habits and understand
the nature Of each particular class, for,
like children. they cannot all be trained
alike. Some specimens revel in an
abundance Of water, others prefer eondi-
tons bordering on drollh. Some re-
