“A GLAD FAN’S PRAYER” 
O Lord, isn’t there some way you can arrange to 
have it rain every day, say from about midnight until 
four o'clock in the morning? Make it a gentle rain 
and warm so that it will soak in; and grant that the 
sun may shine the whole day long but not too hot; 
and can you fix it so there will be but little wind, few 
weeds and no Thrips; and that the best blooms will 
be out for the shows; and O Lord, if it’s not too 
much, can you arrange to have all of our expensive 
bulblets make nice plump large bulbs for next season. 
Amen.—BuRGESS.
