Merely Climate.
From London Answers.

From London Answers
The American visitor wandered down
into sunny Cornwall. Seeing some par
ticularly largo chrysanthenums in a gar
den. he knocked at the cottage door and
exclaimed to the grower:
Fine flowers these. Guess ia like to
know how you grow en-
oh, climate" replied the yokel
And them great cabbages-what makes
them grow?
Just climate" declared the Cornwall
man seriously.
HIN! Away in New York about all We
grow Is skyscrapers. Only last year a
fifty-story building sprang up like
mushroom. 1t grew up SO quick that II
had no stairs or lift.''
And the yokel stared aghast.
"How-how do you get to the top,
then?''
"Oh. clime-it-just clime-it.''
