Now they are all from green houses but later we will have ferns and flowers from the woods, the fiefs and the country gardens. But before the gathering of the wild flowers begins we would like to sound a note of warning against the ruthless gathering of the flowers of our Canadian woods. In a letter re- ceived from a Kingston lady spend- ing some time in the southern part of New York State she told her friends of the trailing arbutus that neighborhood. This beautiful flower used to grow on the rocks at Cartwright's point fn the memory of its owners, but has disappeared utterly, Moc- casin plant with its pink and white flowers and lady's slipper used also to be found there. But the children and sometimes the grown-ups, who have taken advantage of the hospi- tality of the late Sir Richard -and Lady Cartwright and their daugh- ters, to wander at will and enjoy the beauties of the springtime on their property, almost the only place with. in: walking distance of Kingston ston where wild flowers can be found, have been so greedy and careless that instead of plucking a few" blossoms and leaving plenty more for seeds, have pulled up the | roots as well as all the blossoms they | could carry, and the result is that | many of the loveliest flowers will be | seen no more near Kingston, Thatethis is the time to begin the "'swat-the-fly" campaign. Don't wait till many flies come but catch the first to make their appearance. The I ------ ---- De --everywhere fly is the means of mare disease than} we realize and by getting rid of him we may do our share towards the campaign for better health. This is the time for salads and on the market we can get the in- gredients for a first-class salad all grown near Kingston. If we ike cheese we can add it, apples and nuts give wus the famous Waldort salad and many varieties can be made by the clever housekeeper with lettuce and radishes as a foundation.
