Calvary Church Flower Real
Georgia Product Worth While

Is the church garden a Georgia
| product? We think it is.
There are churches, that are one
of many as "The Little Church
Around the Corner" and THE Old
North Church," and it may be that
the garden at Calvary church, Amer
icus, Ca, is unique.
/ Bulbs, the first flowers to be
planted, grown luxuriantly by the
donor, brought with them the white
and gold so beautiful when used in
the church, and blooming just when
| they are needed most. There is
nothing in the garden more beautiful
than its bulbs in bloom.
Then was planted the Olea Fra.
grams amid the Abelia hedge which
grows and grows while its friends
hesitate about extending it, and
which will be a joy when crowned
by the Queens Wreath that is to
be planted behind it.
The rose bed, though sweet and
fair, cannot surpass the chrysanthe-
NUNS across the way However it
feels no tinge of blight or envy, for
the pansies at its feet turn their faces
to let it know they are thinking of
it, and bloom on and. on for those
who come and go, while the Smith
fayorites only flaunt their magnifi.
cence once in life time. But if
you like realism, they demand all
your time, get all your praise and
all your money, while the dear little
hearts-ease is the giver twice blessed
blooms best when giving most.
There are also in this garden lit
tie white lilies blooming around East
er day, the Easter lilies that bloom
later, the little pink fairy lilies that
grow in the garden, and the glorious
Sapelo lilies alawys so beautiful. Be-
sides these there are white and red
Amaryllis given bythose who love the
beautiful, and have growing hand
The latter descended from royal
line whose ancestors, if flowers have
such, grow in the garden o. one of
Georgia's sweetest and best women.
They have relatives in the church
garden, who are shy and timid about
blooming, but are as true as the kind
friends who gave them.
There is also a succession of iris

The Shasta daisies, in all their
glory now, are not strictly Geor-
gia product, but certainly blooming

FIRST CAR CANTELOUPES
IL DAYS AHEAD OF 1921

( VALDOSTA, May 24.-Jesse C.
Ulmer shipped the first carload of
South Georgia cantaloupes from Val
dosta to New York last night. The
car was loaded during the day, iced
early in the evening and sped north

This car is eleven days earlier than
the first shipment in 1921, which

| How sweet it is to let your ligh.
shine, giving the best for Him who
went about doing good, loving all
men everywhere.
The rose of Sharon, easily grown
in Georgia, blooms in many colors in
the church garden, also lilies-of-the-
valley waiting for cold winter to
+, bring out the pure sweet flowers that
seldom grow in this part of the state.
When the garden was planned
sweet peas were left out because it
was thought the stems would be too
short for the church vases. But a
visitor, who would plant English peas
and asparagus, said, "You haven't
any sweet peasw The season came, a
place was prepared, seed obtained
from a Georgia firm and duly and
properly planted. To prove the wis
dom of the visitor, the flowers came

and a great joy to all it's observers.
