THE FLOWERS OF THE LEGION
American Daisy and French Poppy Official Posies of Both Branches
 of the Organization.

There has been some confusion In the minds of Americans in general as to the status of the daisy and the poppy in connection with the Ameri- can Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary.
 The daisy Is the Legion's official flower; the poppy is the Auxiliary's memorial flower. The misunderstood ing arose in the first place, because in its early days the Legion did adopt the poppy of France as its flower. But at its Kansas City convention the American Legion adopted the daisy as Its official flower on the grounds that the daisy Is an American flower and the poppy of Flanders Is avail- able for use only in artificial form.
 The Legion Auxiliary has taken ad' vantage of the very fact that the poppy is not available as real flower to buy artificial flowers made by disabled sol diers in hospitals. The Massachu- sets Legion and Auxiliary netted something over S46,0OO from the sale of artificial peoples, last winter. This money was used to better the condi' tions of sick and needy veterans of the World war.
 The Legion is making every effort to interest the children of America In the cultivation of flowers by appeal ing to their patriotism and to their natural affection for such flower as the American Legion's American daisy.
