I Out of the dark the strangest flock of sheep; Silent, and still, and gray; dim shapes they moved; Shepherdless, wandering, wavering things that roved In at the window, out at the door,. And never a sound of their pattering feet on the floor. Never a bleat did I hear, or a shepherd’s call, Never a single sound. Were they shadows all? Yet they were herded here, I believe, by a fay Just to be shorn, for up in my room today The gray wool, lay like dust all along the floor— Some shearings left from those shadow sheep, I am sure. You have a twinkle of keen, Scotch mirth In your eyes so clear and blue: And a loving smile, ’round a tender mouth, You are vibrant, strong and true. The birds in the snow, and the sunset sky Bring a reverent light to your face. The beauty in flowers, and music, and stars Has lent to you part of its grace. Your head and your hands never tire, it seems From work that your heart bids them do. Always you’re serving, with cheery grace, And never a thought of—you. M. E. C. A TRIBUTE

knew there were great possibilities in them for the beginner. Violets, of course, can be raised very successfully in them. An early spring crop can be raised and a good profit made. Chrysanthemums—or “’mums”—are also a good frame crop. The sash can be raised to allow room for the height of the plant and crops can be easily managed. We talked long and comprehensively on the subject of crops. He strongly recommended early gladiolas for a beginner. They can be started in the green house in flats in late April and then set out in May as soon as frost danger is past. These will bloom in June and command a very good price. Other outdoor summer crops he considered rather a gamble, depending on the season and, in the case of asters, on the beetles. Snapdragons he considered a very good crop. The giants are the only ones that pay well, unless you are growing them for your own local retail trade. Sweet peas are very successful and are good to follow ’mums. Freesias he reckons among his good crops. They are a long season crop, but they do not take up an enormous amount of room, and they have a cutting season of a month or more. Bulbs he recommended highly. The paper white narcissus can be brought into bloom in a very short time and are easily handled. They have the advantage of being able to stand a change of temperature in case it is desirable to hold them back and bring them into bloom later. The Chinese lily is in this same class. The Easter trade, of course, demands all types of bulbs, including narcissus, tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. The baby primulas, or Primula malacoides, is a very worth while crop, blooming during the entire winter. The profit from them is not great, but is reasonably sure. I was greatly interested in the raising of greens and asked how great a demand there was for them. The florist waxed enthusiastic at that, and my own enthusiasm rose in accord. Smilax he considers a very good crop. It brings a good price and the plants can be used for two or three years. Some growers start new plants each year, but this is not necessary. There is a drawback, however, for the beginner to consider. That is the heat, as smilax needs a higher temperature than that required by most flowering plants. It would be inadvisable to put in a whole house of smilax as a first crop so this would probably have to wait until the plant had warranted enlarging. As for asparagus ferns: he had quite a bed of asparagus plumosis and could market far more if he had room to put it in. It is a slow growing plant and cannot be cut too heavily, but if successive crops were managed a very good trade could be established. The sprengeri is not in such great demand. He therefore raises only enough for his local retail trade. He had one beautiful ground bed coming along. He said that he was going to put the regular bench over it and put in red carnations for the winter. The sprengeri, being well started, would keep on growing and yield a good crop, while the carnations above would be utilizing the sunlight that is such a valuable asset to the florist.
