 Gorgeous roses, stately lilies graceful peoples. modest violets. mig nonette and sweet peas, with dozens of other "favorite'' flowers, make the garden Colonel and Mrs Smith love and that has not only given them 50 much pleasure but their hundreds of friends as well. one of the most arr tistic in. all of Birmingham.

When all hu- man love seemed to fail me-here were my flowers In those days they seemed to me wreaths laid on the grave of my happiness, but that was wrong. My happiness grew afresh with the young buds, and Is blos- soming with them still as you know"
