 Transcript for .lanuary twenty-fourth 

 1 read Mr. George S. Sargent's de- 

 scription of Mr. Burrage's orchids and 

 thought of how soon we were all to 

 have the pleasure of seeing them grow- 

 ing as if in their natural habitat in 

 Horticultural Hall. I felt as if I were 

 to have the pleasure of glowing color 

 which one experiences in the old 

 cathedrals of Toledo Chartres and 

 Sainte Chapelle in Paris. There the 

 radiance comes from the wonderful old 

 glass. In March in Horticultural Hall 

 it will come to us in flowers. There 

 has been a little criticism of the money 

 the trustees of the Horticultural Socie- 

 ty are to spend in prizes for this one 

 exhibition. 



The orchid has been spoken of as the 

 rich man's flower. Perhaps in Amer- 

 ica it is. But let our imaginations go 

 forth in adventure. 



The late war has cost us to a ter- 

 rible extent in the loss ot life and 

 I)roperty. '^'hat has it brought us? A 

 greater feeling of democracy so that 

 the rich man of the world is happy 

 when he is sharing his pleasure with 

 the people. It has also brought us a 

 sense ot internationalism that the 

 world had never known before. 



In America the orchid may be the 

 rich man's flower but let our minds go 

 forth to the jungle. Let us take up the 

 white man's burden and give our 

 brown man of the jungle work which 

 he will go forth willingly to do. We do 

 not say to him "Only go forth and kill 

 the lion and the tiger, we want the 

 beautiful wrapping of their skins." We 

 say, "Growing among you are beauti- 

 ful flowers; if you will get their roots 

 and blossoms for us we will reward 

 you well" 



Last summer Dr. Wilfrid Grenfell 

 gave us a most interesting talk 

 about his work among the people of 

 Labrador, of what he and his friends 

 been doing for them. Beside me sat a 

 lady knitting stockings to keep the 

 feet of these people warm. In the 

 course of his talk Dr. Grenfell spoke 

 of the great variety of berries that 

 grow in Labrador. It seemed to me 

 that here was a little way of showing 

 the people there what they could do for 

 us and so of heightening their feeling 

 of self respect, that they too could go 

 forth into the world adventuring. 



Because we want to grow in Middle- 

 sex County, Massachusetts, the best 

 variety of vegetables, and will send 

 all over the world for their seed, is 

 that any reason why we should not 

 enjoy the beauty of the orchid?
