WILLIS Is . - - FLOWERS FOR COUNTRY WOMEN--" £8 Bs maar a gk Folks are talking dbout. depressions coming, gloom seems to be sitting around waiting for a chance to-.take up its abode in country spirits these days. Instead of letting. gloom take root lets give it a boost=and plant flowers which as the days warm and lengthen will ° help dispel worries and bring the bright side foremost; - Country people are usually gimple folk, taking their chief joys in everyday things;<so often the simple thing is a flower garden bursting with bloom which seems to resemble a brave flag flying in the face® of what could be termed an unsympathetic world. Ta * Choose your flowers to suit yourself, What especially do you want? want red flowers for my dining room, so I plant red petunias, carnations and gladiolus. -I especially want tall-flowers so that I can" fill' that open-mouth look of the' fire-place all summer. I love a tall bouquet set on the floor behind the screen and I have even had the surprise of hearing men exclaim with pleasure at the effect of apple blossoms, lilacs or some other profuse blossoms where smoke and dust and charred firebasket usually abide. Perennial borders save spring planting, when house-cleaning and vegetable gardens are getting the priority on the country woman's time, To start a perennial bed and buy all the plants, costs quitea. bit but there is no need to run into undue expense; just let it be known that you are starting your garden and see how eager your friends and neighbours are to help with roots and bulbs of various kinds. When you have au start, then you can each year get a choice plant you are yearning for and_shiortly you will be sharing them with those same kind friends. ; - Perennials, however, never take the place of those abundant an... nual blossoms. 'Have you ever thought annuals short lived? If you are careful to kecp mature blossoms picked they will-bossom on into fall and such a riot of colour and shades. Then too you can plow or spade your bed. in the fall and really keep it clean. . Perhaps when you are planting your flowers you will think of having flowers which make especially attractive corsages.,You know the: glamorous feeling a corsage gives you, the way you feel dressed up, in even an old suit. No one deserves to wear flowers more than + farm women, a badge of merit for service ahove and_.beyond the call of duty. x Flowers for farm women, especially. Flowers in your garden; setting off your home, tell -more clearly than any words, the kind of woman you are way down inside. A farm without flowers iy like food without-salt; it may keep you alive but life would be flat and - without the spice. If you want. to sell your farm, flowers will be a good investment for people know that flowers point to a love of the earth that naturally mean well tended fields. Help yourself to more joy from flowers this year. You have the tand, and one of the greatest aids to good growth-is just beyond the - barn; but the push and initiative you will have to. provide yoursélf. If you are an old Rand at flowers do try something really new; if you have not started realizing joy from -flawers do try a few. this year. Some fine spring day when conditions are just right and the carth breaks up in your fingers, get down on your knees with your. "box. of seedlings, or your package of seeds beside you and begin See if right there you don't feel the growth of worthwhile dividends for every minute. See if right from the very beginning you don't agree with these lines. : "The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, You're nearer to God in a garden Than anywhere else on earth."
