ger. but please let me shake your hand, for
| CHANGED to see copy of your paper and
| am surely going to subscribe to The Jour
nal, as | have found very happy band of
good writer's. | must say | enjoyed the talk
of Mrs Nettie Neville, of Cypress, Fla, so
much in the september % issue. How in
tcreSting it for Mrs. Neville TO see
piece of wood that was carried before
Christ But 1 must tell you about n flower
l have. 1t is claimed by legend that this
flower, known as euphorbia splendens Cor
crown OF thorns) was the plant that was
placed on the Savior, with its great thorns,
when Christ was crucifed. 1t surely must
have been, for it is just like the picture in
the Bible, and its tiny flowers are really
! wonderful, they are at first milky
white and in a few days they are as red AS
blood. There is something peculiar about
the plant, and l often look and wonder if it
truly is the thorny plant that our loving
Savior wore on his precious brow. often
take some of the branches and root them fo1
my friends. They root as easily as geran-
iums or other pot plants. l have many fine
pot plants. l have twenty seven fancy pot
chrysanthemums-the large show kind no
two alike. l have a beautiful fea thered
lavender pot chrysanthemum; it surely Is
pretty. ! have some beautiful fern beds. /
have twelve kinds of ferns, many different
begonias and beautiful angel trumpet; IT'S
flowers are pure white, look like fluted vel
vet, is inches wide and 10 inches long
and is as fragrant as jasmine. l think a
home is not complete without flowers to
brighten it. l want to plant peony gar
den and would like to hear from some of
you who have peOnies to exchange for other
flowers or berry plants, or l can send direc-
tons to make laundry soap like we buy; no
grease or I've used; they cost me 50, but
would like to send them to anyone for peony
roots. l love to pass my idle hours away
among my plants and see them grow and
bloom. for flowers were placed here by the
hand divine to comfort and cheer us on lifes
pathway. Aunt Julia, please print my let
ter. as I want 70 meet your band Of friends.
