HAMMOND ON FLAG DAY. 



¥ln^ day was cele))rated by Benjamin 

 iraiiiniond, ,lune 14, by liis sending to 

 c.'ieh boy and girl in the schools of Bea- 

 con a card bearing the Htars and Stripes 

 in colors, a message from Mr. Hammond 

 on "Flag Day— What Is It For?" and 

 a poem for the occasion by Joseph B. 

 Gilder. 



In his Flag day message, Mr. Ham- 

 mond said, regarding what the day is 

 for: "Not simply to show a flag made 

 of red, white and blue colors, but to 

 impress upon the minds of both young 

 and old the aspiration of Americanism 

 - — the best accomplishment jiossiblc for 

 human beings to attain. Respect every- 

 day labor, <-ultivate the virtues, fidelity, 

 patience, industry and fearlessness; 

 protect and help the weak; sympathize 

 with the suffering; whatever your duty 

 is, do it well; keep your promises; pay 

 your debts; and be polite to all. This 

 should be what Flag day teaches. 

 Americanism for every )joy and girl in 

 the Ignited States of America." 



On the back of the card was a sen- 

 tence to fathers from Mr. Hammond: 

 "Remember that the training of the 

 child determines the character of the 

 nation." 



PANSY VISITS PEONIES. 



Out at Libertyville, 111., an hour's 

 ride north of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Martin .1. Healy make a specialty of 

 j)eo)iies for cut flowers at Liberty Villa. 

 Recently Miss Anna Grace Sawyer, 

 whoso flower store at 4044 West Madi- 

 son .street, conducted under the name of 

 the I'ansy Florist, is fainiliar to many in 

 the trade, jiaid a visit to Liberty A'illa. 

 The impressions of a retail seller of the 

 ]ieonies grown at Libcity Villa should 

 be as interesting to the trade as they 

 were to n local west side newspaper, the 

 (iarfieldian, which devoted half a col- 

 umn, June it. to the following story by 

 Miss Sawyer: 



It win bo of great Interost to mnny of us 

 wlio know Mr. and >frs. Martin .7. Ilenl.v to 

 know of the progress tlic.v are making in i>eony 

 culture on their peony Delds at Libertyville, 

 111. It is n pleasure to visit their suburban 

 homo, so aptly named Lihert.v Villa. Not only 

 is the "villa" a delight to those who visit there, 

 but the grounds are ehiirming, radiating with 

 colors and fragnincc from numberless varieties 

 of summer flowers. 



Interest centers just now in their peony 

 fields, which are producing wonderful flowers*. 

 In the deei) pink varieties are seen the Souvenir 

 de I'Exposition rniverselle and others which 

 they are testing out. In tlie liglit colors are 

 Madame Crousse. Victoria and fcstiva maxima. 



One type brings a smile of recollection, the 

 old-fashioned "granny type." and near to it 

 grows the Liberty Villa S|iccial. a very modern 

 type (having its niigin here) witli lavendar 

 petals and cri'am. ro-^e and red vein centers. 

 Now. that is joy, to create a new typo of flower! 



Other new varieties are under culture — f)ne 

 ,1 lovely flesh pink as fall and round as a 

 chrysanihemum, as yet unnamed; it doulitless will 

 be among the new varii'ties offered this coming 

 year. There is one lovely red penny o\it there 

 that interests me most: they are improving this 

 Tariety. It is cximnding in size, growing in 

 fragrance and in the rich luster of its crimsiu 

 hue: this is to be called the May ('. Healy iiemy. 



Many of these interesting varieties and sjilcn- 

 dld types of iieonies may lie seen at the I'ansy 

 riorist. who has for several years handled thr 

 Liberty Villa pennies. 



They have been scattering their fragraiu-n 

 and beauty into the ditTerent' lionms (jf <uir little 

 city, and had they audible vfdie~ nr wp keener 

 ears, they could have spoken fnr tlieuis.'lvns 

 as to their origin.

People often ask me. "Where do all these 

 flowers grow?" So this is the answer when it 

 comes to peonies. 



One Word alKiut how to keej) your cut peonies 

 longest: After they reach .your home, cut each 

 stem off several in<'hcs — under water preferably — • 

 and try not to let them stand in the draft, 

 as that will wither any flower. To give the 

 peonies fresh cold water and a clip of the stem 

 lioth night and morning will lenL'lhen their fre-^li 

 Iiess anil be.-iuty.
