In the same way a new potato ias been evolved: one that by a single crop would breed a dozen revolutions in Ireland. A dozen new and wonderful flowers have been created in the last fifteen years as any one knows to his sorrow who has had to purchase American beauty roses for a winter entertainment in Salt Lake.

We mean the ordinary farm products of the country, coun-try, and the wealth of flowers that will gladden the eyes of the people will be something exquisite. exqui-site. And when the farmer's son is casting about for some higher occupation, let him take this thought home to him, that there is no higher occupation oc-cupation in all the world than the perfect cultivation cultiva-tion of the soil, nothing more useful than to create a new fruit or more beautiful than to bring forth a new flower. |
