0CiAS3 Oh tlCCS llhC llltSblCGOGs IL lS the Philaddendrum, and nnothing else but the famous bread fruit of the tropics of which we have all read and wished that it grew here so that we would not have to eat bread by the sweat of our brow.
 There were also many different kinds of flowers in here. A variety of geraniums, red and white and the Martha Washington which is a pali- goniam, with red flower with a vel vet black heart. From the west side of this house six doors open into six more long greenhouses, which are full of all kinds of flowers. A great many of them are in pots and ready to be shipped to distant places as well as sold to visiting customers. These six greenhouses led by six doors into the packing shed, where large force was at work packing plants and flow CTS for shipment. Altogether force of some fifty men are employed here, so you can see it is a large enter prise. Vestals is name suited so well to the occupation that one would think it had been selected for the pur- pose and was not the accidental name as it were of the owners. saw large boxes of plants ready for shipment to various points in Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, so you can see it is becoming famous for quality. East from the packing shed six more large greenhouses led to another large one running north and south. Still east of this were seven more built of nothing but glass in iron frames. In these is the real home of the roses. Here are all the different kinds of beautiful red roses and of the yellow varieties, I will mention the Golden Orange Rose Sunburst and the Franco Russia. These roses were so beauti- ful that 1 intended to beg a few of them, but forgot about it.
 One of the most beautiful sights 1 have seen in Arkansas was a wall of beautiful red rambler roses in a neighboring town. The loveliest sight l have seen was the Baby Pink Rambler Roses which trained myself last year. am trading for a piece of land annd when get possession am going to have big yard and fill it full of roses. Scientists have dis covered since this war commenced that music is the best medicine they can give for some complaints and have discovered that flowers are a great medicine, the best of which is roses, so I advise all my friends to buy roses, ornament their yards and save doctor bills. must acknowledge that 1 am incapable of doing justice to the Vestal roses. Roses are their speciality, but 1 have told you the road and visitors are welcome and no auto trip to Little Rock is complete with out seeing them and you cannot see them without taking some home with you.
 Next to the roses in beauty are their lilies.
 One thing that interested me great ly was the hanging baskets. These contained an assortment of ger ariums, ferns, trailing vines and flowers. Considering their quality they are cheap too ranging in price from $2.50 to $3.50. Here is your chance. You see if you cannot do like me and go back to nature you can bring a little of nature back to you, even if your house is only rented hall room. They also carry a com plete line of fruit, shade and orna- mental trees, as we'll as a full line of flower and garden seed, cabbage, tomato and egg plants. They issue catalog which describes their flowers and trees and can be had by address ing Jos. w. Vestal and Son, box 856 or phone 4720, Little Rock.
 Now you can see that the wander ing Fairy led me to Fairyland in Little Rock and I think she did so because I was thinking she did not like the City of Roses.
