COMA blossoms, ike so much
pink fireworks shooting up and
breaking into myriads of stars?
They come from those big-leaved
varieties you grow in pots for
foliage up home. Here you may
find them in pots on the porch,
or planted anywhere tucked I'm
der a fence or wall in the yard.
And here is art, lovely art in
flower arrangement for table
decoration; simple combinations
of rich or delicately colored fol-
iage, with art glass or china; and
among them even still more beau
tifil cocoanot bloom arching like
spray from their bark canoes.
One would never dream of such
loneliness for such uses from
such a palm, magnificent though
it is. One might we'll linger long
here and give these art groupings
careful study. But we must hurry
on. The next table has a Kalan-
chloe that looks like it might have
come direct from China, a mar
vel in cast bronze it appears.
And here is Mrs. Gales yellow
Gala, a novelty here. She showed
it to us day or, so ago.
Over against the wall is the
table of tropical flowers. First
comes a spray of lavender GIN
ger blooms, real ginger, backed
with their own green; we will
never forget that. Dwarf poinci-
anas in yellow and orange-red;
African tulips like them but gil
gantic; blue thunbergias like
morning glories; spires of candle
flowers with buds at the top like
marbles of soft yellow gold; foun-
tains of russelias spraying red
hot sparks; no end of brilliant
novelties; a long gay table of
| them.
And there inside the central
square are two patio carts; they
have canopies and are decorated
and banked with brilliant flow
ers. One has a fine sea she'll
down below; and there are gar
den tools attractively arranged
within. What time is it? Been
here three hours? Must be many
things we missed. too, on the way
around. But this we should bear
in mind: everything you have
lseen came from outdoors: from
residence gardens and lawns and
home verandas, or vacant lots
and roadsides; from people who
| love flowers and appreciate the
i opportunities this climate gives
them to grow old favorites, and
the choicest of tropical ornamen-
tails at will, with ease and little
or no expense. And how they
