EASTER SEASON WILL
 BE ONE OF FLOWERS
Gardens and Sun ParlOrs of Pine Bluil Show Nature Putting Forth
 Beauty at Easter.tide.

That this will be a season of flow CTS: that not in years has there been such a wonderful production of blos- soms of all kinds in Pine Bluff; that spring time is being exemplified by the blossoming of countless plants of all sorts, is demonstrated with each passing day, and is made plain by the mass of beauty being shown by the Davis Floral company. as we'll as in hundreds of gardens and sun parlors attached to private homes of the city. 'j
 The bulbous plants have shed the beauty of their blooms over scores of social affairs already this spring. The tall. graceful narcissus;; the ever popular valley lily; the tube roses; the jonquils; all have blossomed in profusion. The conditions apparent ly were most favorable, and poor in deed was the gardener, who could not furnish an ample supply of these lovely flowers for the seasons gay cities.
 Now the Easter lily, orchid, azalea, rhododendron. spirea. gracilis, ge- raniums, sweet peas, lilies of the val ley and roses, are here in all their wealth of color and fragrance. Surely Easter will be day of flowers. Wife. mother, sweetheart and daughter will be remembered. The Easter lily will be omnipresent. The church altars and chancel rails will bear these graceful white blossoms in large number. The homes will have the potted plants, each with its bloom. It is the flower of the day, the Easter lily, thus gaining it's popular name.
 But for personal remembrance and for personal wear. perhaps the sweet peas and the orchids and the roses will be the most popular. COrsage boquets of each and all of these will be worn by the women generally Sun day.

Nature's Workings.

How plants absorb nitrogen from the soil is utterly unknown. No ami nal must get the large quantities of nitrogen that are necessary to it by using plants for food. When the ami nal or the plant dies the constituents of its body are returned to the earth, where the bacteria of putrefaction break up the elaborate organic chemi- cal compounds upon which the plants again can feed.
