THE WILD GARDENS. 



The wonderful display of orchids is 

 over. I>ike visilants from strange and 

 tropical lands they have come to us 

 wiih their marvelous beauty of form 

 and color. They have been with us 

 and gone almost as we watch a but- 

 terfly gorgeous with the color in its 

 wings hovering over a flower then gone 

 from among lis. 



In form and color the orchids are 

 perhaps the most beautiful of flowers. 

 If they lack a grace it is that of old 

 association. They are not yet dear to 

 us because we have picked them with 

 our mothers as children, because we 

 have carried them in the old days to 

 some favored teacher at school. 



For this wealth of association let us 

 return to New England. Let us in May 

 show the beauty of our native flora 

 in the little miniature rock garden 

 which will then be seen. Let us show 

 the graceful beauty of our own native 

 red columbine a.gainst some gray stone 

 in these miniature gardens, or against 

 a seedling cedar or pine. Then there 

 is the dainty white vjolet, so small 

 that we almost tread it under foot as 

 we walk in our woodland ways. The 

 exquisite viola pedata with its yellow 

 eye. The pink moccasin flower around 

 which the gnomes and fairies dance in 

 our woods each night. While .lack in 

 the Pulpit will hold his service on Sun- 

 days with the Trillium Grandiflora 

 lifting their white faces in adoration 

 and prayer. 



These are the flowers of our New 

 England woods, these are the flowers 

 with which we will open Horticultur- 

 al Hall to the enjoyment of the people. 



Our boys have died among the pop- 

 pies of France and of Flanders, but 

 with the true spirit of democracy we 

 can honor their memory with the wild 

 flowers of New England displayed in 

 our hall.
