Ever since, the four leaved clover has brought good fortune, says

A well known San Diego rose grower has customers in Arizo- 
na to whom he sends cut flowers regularly, and now a Santa 
Barbara firm announce their intention of making a specialty of 
supplying eastern florists during the winter season with orange 
blossoms, acacias, roses etc.” » 
Mrs. Ellen L. Platt, of New York, wife of an ex-senator, is 
said to be one of the most successful orange growers in Florida; 
giving her personal supervision to the work during the ones 
part of the year. 
Our season has been so late and cold that there is still plenty 
of time for planting. Even shrubs and trees may be put out if 
given particular attention. 
At Encinitas, California, during the boom days, the enterpris- 
ing citizens planted on each side of most of their streets, trees 
thirty or forty.feet apart; principally eucalyptus and acacia. 
Today the visitor to the little village is filled with delight as he 
enters the town from any direction, for ‘the sweet scent of the 
masses of blossoms on the acacias fill the air, while the paar. 
tus do their duty in shading the roadside. 
At Del Mar also, the one permanent benefit derived from those 
early days of ‘‘the San Diego boom’’ was the planting of groves 
of eucalyptus of several hundreds of thousands on the broken 
mesas and hill tops. 
And now let us ask iis you planted even one tree of any sort 
this season? If you have’not there is yet time, and every tree 
planted this spring will help towards the a prosperity we 
all. desire for our beloved county. ~ “. 
Our TIMEs. 
_ The three leaved clover some one told his congregation was em- 
_ blematic of the three christian graces, faith, hope and charity. Then 
e walked in the meadow and heard the three leaved clovers beast- 
ing of this; but a four leaved clover in silence hung its head, then 
_the listener picked up a four leaved clover and said: ‘‘O proud 
little leaves, do not forget that there is a fourth grace, humility.’’
