prompts the planting of flowers and
shrubs around country homes. We
have in mind n home on the Carson
road leading to Besscmer City and
Kings Mountain. Surrounding the
home and bordering the roadside is q
wealth Of flowers. of the old fashion
Cd variety. Every passerby slacks up
to obtain q better view of the flowers.
Among the varieties we note Zinnia,
petunia, gladiolas, phloX, caryopsis,
hollyhock and dahl;a. IT is compar-
auvely easy to start n growth of these
howers and the owner of the place is
more than repaid by the attractiveness
and the compliments paid by travel

sort, there is no telling to what lengths
