of your newly mowed lawn some thousand riiles. of alkali and dust, of a national “forest” that grows barely knee high (that's in Nevada, In case you can't believe it).

You learn that a fondness for plants links you with people everywhere. There was the lonely gas station in the midst of Nevada sagebrush where a collection of quite the usual houseplants included an African violet leaf rooting in some of their precious water. I never did learn how many hundreds of miles away “the “neighbor” lived who doubtless provided the “start.” In a Wyoming steak house, a poinsettia plant, having survived last Christmas was hopefully struggling toward another holiday. I nobly resisted the temptation to suggest it needed the sunny window.

Lone Stalk of Corn

There was the lone stalk of corn carefully nursed along in the chill climate of the Columbia River valley by the Iowaborn filling station owner. And the driver of our sightseeing bus in San Francisco sald he included the voluminous material on trees and flowers in his patter becatise he'd found people asked about them if he didn't. Sights that told their own story included hydrangeas" blooming richly blue in the naturally acid soil of Pacific coast lumber towns. In the limey alkali regions of Idaho a sign announced ‘soil sulfur sold here.”

Hints dn the climate and soil our own Hoosier flowers | prefer came from delphiniums towering tall in mountain coolness and daily showers; tuberous begonias, as well as roses, thriving in the cool, humid northwest. Sweet peas grew over head high in yard after Oregon yard | where there was no superheated Indiana sun to burn them up. And their sisters, the peren- | nial sweet peas, blossomed

| while foxgloves went native in a soll and climate that encourages giant ferns, Even our native Virginia bluebells liked the coolness of tumbling mountain streams and edged them with blue.
