Fletcher Savings M Trust Company,
and you will see what 1 mean about
flower POTS"
So I took Pansy's tip and strolled over
10 Mrs. LandOn's beautiful exhibit. This
exhibit is known as pot flowers" and l
noticed this family Of flowers was grow
ing n thriving.
Finally a gentleman vno was standing
near me said. Il haven't seen his for a
long time. Here is a strawberry plant.

I realized what ransy was thinking OF
when she spoke Of natures adopted in
cUbator."
Here IN a flower pot was q little straw
berry plant growing and thriving to the
extent Of producing = large berry. The
berry was still a yellowish green, but
just a wee bit Of pink was coming into
its cheeks.
I rushed back to Pansy and told her

Pansy then whispered feebly to me:
Kind friend, I am so happy. Just think
the possibilities Of the little flower pot.

That remark caused me to trot TO the
front part of the exhibition building
where the "Quality-named" roses are on
exhibit.
There I discovered the Mrs. Warren G..
Harding Rose" "Laddie" and the
"Frieda HempeI' rose. The "HempeI"
rose is a richly-colored light rose, but
the Mrs. Harding Rose" is a dark red
creation. Quite a gallery Of notable
roses. I allow.
The Francis Scott" rose also was in
luded in this exhibit Of quality roses.
This exhibit is attracting a great deal

smile. But we didn't have the baby

Then his companion said softly. There

I didn't hear the rest. but that is a
wonderful example OF how this flower
show is humanizing people.
That's the prettiest picture I have seen
at the show.
Then 7 noticed the building was be-
coming crowded. so I elbOwed my way
out Of The building, nodded a Goodnight
to Pansy and started back TO the office
to tell the world about Pansy, the
flower pots and the bridal bouquet.
