HAVE A SEAT®
THE FLOWER SHOW.
"ITn. hti." said the vegetables In
the vegetable garden. ">vf are being
properly appre
ciated. Then* was
a time, and not
so Urns ago, that
we were not in
vited to the flow
er show."
"We've always
been Invited."
said the flowers
In the flower par
den.
Now both of
these gardens
were small sam
ple gardens which
were being shown
-We Love to »l 111 * now"
Give Pleasure." show ,D * ,e™£
city building.
They were supposed to show how gar
dens could be made to look well and
grow well, and the best gardens won
prizes for their owners.
"Of course you've always been in
vited to the tlower show." said the
vegetable garden to the flower gar
den, "because it wouldn't be.a flower
show without flowers."
"That's so." smiled the flowers.
"You're bright vegetables, we never
thought of that before."
"But we were invited this year, be
cause vegetables arc appreciated more
than they used to he."
Between the flowers and the vege
tables were some little pine trees
which were also being shown as sam
ple trees, and which also kept the
vegetable garden and the flower gar
den apart.
And on a table near by were sam
ples of beautiful pansies and seeds
which would grow the same kinds of
pansies. And all these were In a lit
tle corner by themselves.
"We should think vegetables would
always have been appreciated," said
the flowers.
"Thanks, flowers," said the vege
tables. "and we admire you for not
becoming snobbish."
"Oh. dear." sighed the flowers, "we
could never become that."
"Well, you might," said the vege
tables. "Flowers have always been
asked to the flower show of course,
and flowers are ahvavs beautiful.
Flowers are of lovely colors and sweet
scents. They could easily be super
ior and snobbish, but they are not.
>•0. flowers are never-snobbish."
"Vegetables." said the flowers, "we
hate snobbish things and people. We
love to give pleasure, to bring happi
ness. Sometimes people try to make
flowers snobbish by' acting as though
flowers which cost a lot were so much
nicer than cheap ones which could
be easily grown.
"But the flowers are never that way
themselves. And oh, how they hate
it when people say they only like flow
ers which cost a lot and which look
like the flowers in a flower-shop."
"We think you're beautiful and
sweet, flowers," said the vegetables.
"It seems to us," answered the flow
ers, "that we would not be living up
to the name of flowers if we were
anything else but sweet and lovely.
It would be dreadful for us to be hor
rid, perfectly dreadful. We'd dis
grace the family name of flowers."
"Ah, we must appear conceited to
you." *nh1 the vegetables, "for we
are so happy to be here. We have al
ways tried to he good so folks would
enjoy us when they ate us, but we
nutst admit that we are proud and
happy now that everyone is thinking
inure of vegetables.
"Why. flowers, they're prowlng u<
everywhere. They > no: letting any
grout.d ko to
waste. They sail!
we should ho
plentiful. which
menus thiit there
should he plenty
<if us. and we
think this all very
tine.
"We like to
hear of them hat
ing to waste
things, for we
have always lieen
that way our
selves, good prac
tical, common
sense vegeta
bles."
"No, we don't , Ug Every. I
think you are where."
conceited," said
the flowers. "We think you show the j
right kind of pride, for you know what j
you can do and of how much good you |
can be. and you want to be given a I
good opportunity and change to show I
what you nre capable of."
"That's just the way we feel, flow- j
ers," said the vegetables, "but we're ]
very, very glad to lie considered of I
enough importance to be r.sked to the
flower show. Wi1 want to be appre
ciated, but we also want to be worthy
of the compliments we may receive."
