SPAIN GAVE WALES DAFFoDIL

Gus 10 the Bllbos district, some OF
whose seafaring inhabitants were
about two thousand years ago con-
veyed by the flow OF the Gulf stream
TO Pembrokeshire. There they saw
the inhabitants digging what In now
known as anthracite. and making fires
with H. They also noted that the
Welsh were sun worshipera. Taking
some Of the anthracite back with them.
the Spaniards realized It's immense su-
periority over charcoal for the pur-
pose OF smeltlnE Iron ore. for which
the country round Bilbao was 'cele-
brated even In those days, so an eIpe-
dition was organized TO procure fur
ther supplies from Wales.
As barter for the "black stones" the
Spaniards took n consignment Of daf.
fedil bulbs. because they thought that
people who worshiped the sun would
be impressed by the beauty OF this
flower as II unfolded itself and dis
played It's form and color. and that
In It's corona and radlating petals they
would see reflected the glory OF the
sun. Thus used a. barter and care
fully cultivated by the ancient lnhabi-
tants Of Wales. the daffodll eventually
became the floral emblem OF the coun-
