 other plants. 



Other Features. 



At Thanksgiving, Christmas, J-^aster 

 and other holidays, appropriate exhibi- 

 tions of floral treasures are made. The 

 Christmas decorations in the lobbies, 

 dining rooms, parlors and auditorium 

 are especially elaborate. 



The palm garden, with its great rub- 

 ber tree and other tropical plants, its 

 rockery and fountain, is always inter- 

 esting to visitors. One of the remark- 

 able growths here is the philodendron. 

 Visitors from tropical countries like to 

 linger at this spot and identify the flora 

 of their distant fields of labor. 



Until last year the sanitarium had 

 nine greenhouses. The erection of the 

 great new powerhouse made necessary 

 the removal of some of these. However, 

 two additional houses have been built 

 and plans for other new ones arc under 

 way. For many years the sanitarium 

 has been steadily increasing its area of 

 under-glass gardens. 



These greenhouses are a pleasant and 

 interesting place to visit. One stands 

 southeast of the gymnasium; six others 

 lie to the east, back of the main build- 

 ing. In summer the growing is done 

 outdoors, but the rest of the year there 

 is always something worth seeing. The 

 most imposing display is in the fall, 

 when the chrysanthemums are in bloom. 

 There is usually a big house of them, 

 a gorgeous mass of yellow, pink and 

 white. The roses fill several long beds 

 in a separate section. Carnations and 

 sweet peas are grown in large quantities. 

 The sweet peas are a fine sight when in 

 bearing.

What Sam Done Gone Teach Me 



Sam's a sure enough "way down Georgia darky." 



Just hew he "kum to find hisself" one day last August 



looking into our window, way up here in New York, I 



never did know. 



But he sure did teach me a lesson. 



He was a youngster of about 13, with a tattered shirt 



draped over one shoulder; pants held up precariously by 



one galUis, and a semblance of a cap, kept from slippage 



by .an ear forming its stopping point. 



Just as I stepped out to speak to him he began to start 



starting. 



"Where are you .?oing, boy?" I asked. 



"I ain't going, I'se stopping." 



"Where were you going before you stopped?" 



"Wuzzimt going no-a-wheres, just looking to go." 



"Well, .Sam, suppose you was 'done through' looking 



and was now starting, where would you 'start for to 



go?' " 



"If I done have 25 cents, boss, I done start for to buy 



some crawb-bee" (meaning crab meat). 



"Nonsense, Sam, what would you do with crawb-bee? 



You know if you eat that, it sure makes your haJr curl." 



"I doan care, boss, if dey does; dat is I doan care right 



now; for when I'se hongry, I'se ain't bothering so mighty 



much 'bout maw hair." 



Of course I gave him the quarter, and he scampered off. 



Lord knows where. 



But he left nie with the thought that when you really 



want business, it's business you want. 



And wlion you w;int it, you don't need to bother so 



mighty much about other things. 



Just bother the business you want. 



Which may or may not be why I keep on running these 



talks each week.

 before the first frost, when cuttings are

Lettuce and New Zealand spinach are 

 grown in some of the greenhouses for 

 sanitarium use. Occasionally crops of 

 Swiss cliard, Chinese cabbage and toma-
