When they arrived in Amisterdamiand Mien they left for home, each of tbemi were presented witb a bou- quet of flowers. Holland is a small country but it bas lots of flowers. If people don't have gardens of their own, they buy flowers at the market. If they do have ai garden, then every available inch of ground is used. The bouses are clciser together and closer to the roadway than they are here. In mnany places water dlivides the pastures instead of fences. There are many windmnills throu Rhouit the country. In Holland tiny daisies grow in the lawnis just as dandelions do here and the people consider tbemn as pests. There are rose beds around the churchs and homes. The climate seemns to be very suitable ta their gr-owth. There wvere lots of greenhous- es and in some of these very tal carnations are grown. The extra buds are picked off so that there will onfly be one flower to a stem.
