The distinction between a flower and a weed is in a measure only a ques- tion of scarcity or abundance: their desirability depends as a rule on their rarity. The man who could so popularize the dandelion. the stink-weed and the thistle that. they would be. gathered in prefer- ence to the avalanche lily. the. rolumhine and the lady‘s slipper. would become immensely popular ing of flowers has comlpletely I'v- movod many of the most beautiful examples from tho easily accessible places where. woods now m'mlom- inatv. “We all remember the school- room the morning after the circus. No one had done any homework, so our teacher’s desk looked like a condensed flower show. The dear old lady (May her grave be cover- ed with violets!) tried to look very ferocious and pretended she could not find her strap, till Fatty puti‘ed in ten minutes late with a bouquet of seven enormous sunflowers for "'lfeachei". Then she had to laugh: and we roared. She stood the sun- tlowers in the corner where she had so Ol'lt‘n Stood. Fatty and gave. us all double lunnework. whirl: Wu. all carefully prepared. Next comes the careful selection of flowers for the “only girl” and the sight of the obnoxious bunch the. other fellow brought. So it goes on all through life: in times of joy and times of grief flowers will bring messages of goodwill and hope into our lives. "in isolated parts or our great national parks wild flowers are so beautiful, so plentiful, and in such variety, that. one is tilted with rapture akin to reverence at. the knowledge that so much beauty could be t‘ouml in one place. it is ditl'icult. to realize that there was a time when beautiful flowers grew in profusion all over the park.
