AN EXCELLENT NOTE is

sounded by the new Chamber of
Commerce booklet. To really
know the tropical beauty of Key
WeSt-remain here in the sum-
mer. Just as northernerS appre-
ciate their country the most from
the beauty of their summers, so
do Key Westers appreciate the is
land to the greatest extent in the
summer, when it becomes quite
like the South Sea Island Para
discs of luscious fruit and MUIR
mering moonlight seas. Flowers,
a thousand million tropical blooms
and all colorS and with a delicacy
not seen north of Key West spring
up everywhere There are deep
puppies, reds, startling whites in
the strong colors and a multitude
of delicate pistal and markings.
The beautiful perfume of the
Frangi-Panni, the Jasmine and
many other tropical flowers fill
moonlit streets with a beauty
which is hardly to be compared
to the winter scene. Sunsets in
southern Florida during the win
ter are disappointing to most
tourists, but those in Key West
out over the ocean to the islands
of the west with a million colorS,
including bright gold, clear white,
a flash of blue, and bright pink,
are probably the most beautiful
in the world since they are really
tropical sunsets. The breeze
sweeping in from the water on
all sides in the summer is delight
full. There is a greater ease of
living here noted in the summer.
Thus you have breezes, sunsets,
flowers and waters doing their
best on the islandl

Those Illicit Tulips
New York Tines


The Fairs million tulips-perhaps the greatest
number ever planted in place-have been singing
with color like the chorus of a floral symphony.
Now according to the laws Of Nature. they are near
the end of their blooming Also according to
the laws of Nature they would bloom again if
properly cared for during the coming Winter. IN
happily the laws of Nature in this instance conflict
with the laws of the United States. The Fairs
tulips are Dutch and therefore alien. They were
allowed to enter this country duty free only on the
understanding that the bulbs would be destroyed
after the flowers gone. So the Fair authorities
are beginning to burn them.
Possibly the tariff structure would rock to its
foundations if this not done. Possibly, also, it
would not Flower lovers will certainly look on the
incarceration of bulbs that have taken probably seven
years to mature beth foolish and wicked Many
tender heart wept few years ago at the martyr
dom of the AAA's little pigs Will no one weep for
tulips? Will raise voice in their behalf?
Surely there are parks Fairgrounds, institutional
gardens, and window boxes in tenement houses
where tulips could be put to lovely use without
doing wrong to domestic tulip raisers Must our
tariff structure descend to vandalism? Can't the
Federal Government get along without trampling on
flowers?
