THE BLOSSOM CIRCLE OF THE YEAR 



PANSIES AND SPANISH IRIS 

 And Roses coming into bloom combine to make April gay in all southern gardens that 



deserve the name 



such dainty, exquisite coloring and the texture was so fine that 

 they were Hke butterflies or fairy flowers in the garden as well 

 as in the rooms. 



"Lettuce fine," calls to my mind the long lines of delicate 

 green that formed such a beautiful background for my Pansies 

 and such a delicious foreground for the luncheon table. 



"Roses glorious," serves to emphasize the fact that Roses are 

 always wonderful and that April is essentially the month of Roses 

 in the South, as June is in the North and East. Then it is that 

 they blossom out in their full Spring fragrance and loveliness. 

 White or yellow, crimson or scarlet, clearest and most dainty of 

 pinks, or deepest and richest of reds, climbing to the tops of the 

 tallest tree or trellises, or blooming a foot or two above the ground, 

 wherever and whenever found, the Rose is the queen of the garden 

 beauties and best of our garden friends.
