I know of nothing more worth while. It has been well said that 
there is no organization, either social or religious, that brings more 
sunshine and happiness into the lives of those who are sick and sad. 
With other Flower Missions the methods may be somewhat differ- 
ent, but there are two essential points on which I feel sure we all 
agree — that the flowers be put in the hands of the patients in as fresh 
condition as possible and with as little outlay of money as practicable.

A Bumper Crop 
We have in our garden a natural rock which we have made very 
interesting to us by planting in the earth pockets — in addition to the 
usual rock plants of commerce — various wild things from the nearby 
woods — columbine, saxifrage, violets, Jack-in-the-pulpit, ' ferns, 
Spring Beauty, hepatica — as well as plants found while on extended 
automobile tours. Most of these things have lived and are reminders 
of happy days on which they were gathered. 
At the foot of this rock we have two artificial pools, which mirror 
the rock and the sky very effectively. Two years ago we bought six 
gold-fish and put them in the pools for the purpose of exterminating 
any mosquito larvae. Last fall when we took the fish out to drain 
the pools for the winter, we found we had nineteen baby fish. This 
fall when they were taken out we counted one hundred and twenty- 
four fish of various sizes. 
I hope all may be as successful in gardening as we have been in fish 
culture and that without the slightest effort or intention.

The Windflower 
Happy the frost- white flower, for she, 
Hand in hand with Spring is free. 
They of all the world's upholding, 
Know their hearts in joy unfolding.
