The present movement to ebotisa a nntlonnl flower la not the flrst one that has ever been mu do. Previous attempts, however, to choose one cither hy legislation or popular vote have failed to be effective. The goldenrod, now the floral emblem of five Mates, waa chosen Indecisively Is as n nntlonnl floral emblem hut It was never widely aeeepted aa such. In W20 a Mil was Intro-durr- d Into congress to make the daisy the national flower hut this flower was more or less laughed out of It claim for preferment "What ! That pesky weed I exclaimed many farmers when they heard of the proposed choice and both It anil the goldenrod have been looked upon rather too disdainfully as "weeds lo allow either to be taken seriously hy a majority of people. In starting the movement for the selection of a nntlonnl flower. Its sponsors state that there Is a Moral constitution. unwritten but under stood by all. which deals with the Ideal qualifications for the king of American flowers as follows: "It must bloom In nil parts of the United States. It must he available at nil times of the year. It must he popular with nil and symbolic of the nation. It must be suitable for emblems and designs. It must radiate tradition and history through its past associations with the creators nnd the developers of the land." Although a number of "candidates" are already In tbe field for the honor of being ehosen the national flower, two of them, the goldenrod and the phlox, seem to he In the lead. It Is Interesting to note that a whispering campaign Is being carried on In this, ns In the race which ended November 0. and proponents of the goldenrod claim their favorite is being treated unfairly Here are some of tdie whispers that are being used against it: Its pollen Is siinpoced to pause hay fever It ts not strleMv native to this continent It has a weedy tndenoy, and thus Is tacking Ir dipntty befitfins the notional flower It ts the rotor of cold and If chosen will rlve Europeans another chance to taunt ua on belne and It does not have our national colors. It has alrerdv been selected by several states as a state flower It blooms onlv In the fall of the year. To refute some of these charges, this cnndl date has Issued the following statement from campnign headquarters (the office of the Na ture Magazine, official publication of the Amerl can Nature association) : I am still the kin Any other Is an usurper ) cannot he exterminated, I am too strong.

As a matter of fact, mountain laurel haa powerful barking and la aura to get a lot of vote. It la tha aelertlon of the Daughters of tha Amerlran Revolution. Ita barkers argua that It la an American plnnt, nnd favor it because It grows In tha It original states. ara starlik and that They aay that tha flow-erIt la availabla for decoration at all aeaaor.s of the year. Connecticut and Pennsylvania hava mountain laurel aa their state flowers. But tha argument against mountain laurel la that It does not growr and cannot be grown In tha western half of tha rountry, and w should not chooaa a on tlonal flower that la sectional. Indiana, on the other hand, had the carnation aa Ita state flower for a long tlma. It wae selected by the school children and had no relution whatever to the state. It la a European flower particularly popular with Latins. For 10 years the state forester tried to change It. Now Indiana hna tha tulip-tre- e flower, but Ohio atill baa the rarnatic-aa Its emblem. While I personally favor phlox, I wouldn't he particularly disappointed If It were defeated and some equally attractive and appropriate flower selected. I am primarily Interested In having a suitable and beautiful flower aelvcted for the official national flower of the United Statea. A number of proposals of Individual plants have been made, but some of the plant selected have been too restricted In range to be regarded as typifying the country as a whole. Others, again, are not limited to nor characteristic of the United States. They ar not 100 per cent American. Take the columbines (Aquilegia species) and the goldenroda (Solldago species), for Instance. Least satisfactory of all are those plant which are not native to this country, tn particular that troublerome weed, the oxeye daisy, or, still worse, the English daisy, which once waa epeclfled in a bill submitted to congress. The columbine waa also proposed In a Joint resolution submitted to congress a year or two ago by a member from Florida, but nothing waa ever done about It. The one genus, however, which has apparently never been given consideration until now, but which has many points in ita favor, Is the phlox. This charming flower is typically North American, only a single member (I'hlox eibirtca) occurring native to any other continent, and this one being common to Alaska and Siberia One or more species or phlox grow wild in every state in (he Union except Maine and perhnps one or two other New England states, and at least two species have become more or less naturalised In that region. It is a handsome and showy flower, and many species are so popular that they have been brought Into cultivation, and most of them have proved easy to grow, which lessens the danger of extermination of individual species which might result fiom the public interest sure to be attracted to a national flower Most Important, too, phlox comes tn our national colors, red, white and blue, and some of the vastars. It blooms over the rieties are Fourth of July It Is a beautiful, showy flower, a can hardy perennial, arid th.s essentially flower is familiar to every one. It grows in gardens and in modern ones to goldenrod, which has long been In considered our national flower, but which also has been unpopular because of its association with the cuise, we wrought to absolve It from this charge. Of course, on the other hand, goldenrod grows In every state, so it has that advantage. It does not come In our colors, however Goldenrod Is also a Euiepean plant and grows tn Germany, Scandinavia and olher countries, so It is not 100 per cent America, a fact that should not be overlooked. Goldenrod does not grow except In the late summer and fall. You couldn't get It to bloom in spring, on the Fourth of July orIn Commencement times the year for day, jubt the important a national flower, tt seems to me. Goldenrod la more or less of a weed, and a (lower to hold so high a place as a national emblem ought to be of finer ong.n A weed hasn't the necessary dignity The phlox has a delicate and faint lragtance Not the heavy, pungent odor of many flowers, but a pleasing and chaiming scent.
