AN INTERESTING PAPER

Miss Hazel Steere read one of the
best papers ever heard at an insti-
tute. The paper was Of such univer-
sal interest that we were requested
to publish the one she gave at the
Farmers Institute at Gray last week,
and is as follows:
FLOWERS
Flowers are one of the things
which will brighten a persons life
a great deal and the pleasure in the
cultivation of them always makes
life seem more worth while. Hav-
ing them, is privilege which every
person living in the country, on
farms or in in small towns can en-
Joy, but which most of the unfortun-
ate ones who live in the large cities
can not have. Therefore as we live
in the wide free country, where ev-
eryone of us can have a small piece
of land to cultivate our flowers on,
and all of us can find enough time
to keep a few flowers at least, why
should we not take advantage of the
chance given us.
First, when you plan for your
flowers, pick place near the house
for them. Put them where you can
see them from your door as you work
and where the folks can stop and en-
Joy them and be refreshed by them
when they come in from their work
out of doors.
We don't want a stiff conventional
garden. It's not natural for flowers
to grow that way. Plant them as
they naturally grow. OF course we
must have some order to them, but
what l mean Is, don't have them toe
stiff. Plant them in an easy mixeduI
manner which is restful to a persons
eyes when they're tired. Stiff things
only irritate one. Make and place
your garden to suit yourself, not the
public for out here it's ourselves wht
see it most and get the satisfaction
out of it,
Now, first, have as many flowers
as you can take care of well. II you
have more than you can take care Of
il will only make you feel badly Il
see them fade away and die. So Il
you have very limited time, | thinl
the best flower you could have is the
