ANGEL’S TRUMPET

is becoming popular again because it is so 
striking in modern flower arrangements. A

“In the arrangement class, my datura, showing 
flowers in all stages of development, caused many 
questions. The attendant was so bothered by fre- 
quent, “What is that flower?’ that he wrote, ‘This ts 
an angel's trumpet,’ on a card beside tt. It certainly 
is a striking plant, with its long white blossoms and 
attractive seed pods.”
