IN THE GREENHOUSE

"Shall ! take you on a little trip
through the green-house?" asked the
Fairy Queen of some of the Fairies.
1T is wonderful park greenhouse
and there are many interesting plants
from all around. I've been there and
can tell you about good many of the
plants and blossoms II you'd like to
take such trip"
The Fairies had said they would like
some new kind Of trip, and so the
Fairy Queen had suggested this.
1.-THE house isn't a house painted
green, you know. A greenhouse such
as Pm speaking of means house for
flowers and ferns and shrubs.
WED love to 60 ON the trip you sug-
gest," said the other Fairies. "When
will you take us?"
after the visitors leave" said the
Fairy Queen. "We will go late this af-
ternoon."
So all the fairies who were going on
the trip got ready in their new out
door suits which no one could see be-
cause they looked the color of air.
If you can see that color and know
what 1t is you're very. very smart!
Nov we're off," said the Fairy
queen, some time later.
They went to the greenhouse. At

smaller ones. They were all filled
with flowers and plants and palms
and mosses and ferns.
They saw some dear little cfocuses
and tulips and daffodils outside the
door and then they went In. There
were many palms and trees from hot,
hot countries, known as the tropics.
1t was very hot in this house for it
had to be in order to have the plants
and trees grow as they would in their
native lands.
Gold fishes were swimming In little
pools and there were rocks and lovely
moss of different kinds growing from
the rocks and ferns everywhere, and
great tall palms which reached the
ceiling.
Some of the ferns hung down and
some were little ones. There were
ferns that grew In water and other
water plants growing there too. There
were sugar cane and coffee trees and
banana trees, and lovely maidenhair
ferns enjoying the shade.
Nearby were some cactus plants,
queer and knotty and ugly in a way
and yet rather fascinating.
Each plant had to be treated just
so-receiving what 1t would receive
in the way Of heat and proper earth
and water as 1t would If growing in its
own part Of the world.
There were some palms with great
branches and spreading leaves. Plants
and ferns which had grown too fast
were clipped off so they wouldn't
60 up through the ceiling!
OF course they couldn't do that, but
they would push other plants out of
the way and bend over and break
themselves SO they had to be stopped
from growing too much.
In one house which was called the
"show house" there were tulips Of all
colors and gay flamingo hlies, orchids
which were called Indian Orchids and
orchids known as Tiger Orchids. The
Orchids were quite decided in letting
everyone know that they liked warm
and sunny weather and that they
would complain If the weather were
cloudy and bad, though they liked
drinks of water.
There were long pink hanging
flowers which were called Medinilla
Magnifica! And there were red
flowers which dropped and hung down
in very attractive way and which had
the gorgeous name Of Acalypha SAINT !!
There were flowers and plants from
other parts of the world and some had
colored leaves.
And little humble bees came in and
buzzed through the greenhouse room
where were the hyacinths and the for
get-me-nots and the jonquils and the
snapdragons and the Jack-in-the-Pulpit
families.
The Fairies and the Fairy Queen
looked at everything and they whisper
ed little secrets to some of the flowers
while the flowers told the fairies Of
some of their sweet secrets. Little
Friend Heliotrope told the Fairy
Queen that she must take look at the
Butterfly plants which had blossoms
of pink and white, rose and red and
lavender and which looked like but
terfiies. They wanted SO much to
be admired by the Fairies.
And the Bird of Paradise flowers
with their gorgeous blue and yellow
flowers and the other members of the
family with their blue and white
flowers which only bloomed once a
year for six weeks-all told the Fairies
who they were as have just told you

The answer could be divided into the
