Page Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, July 12, 1963 Buds AND Blossoms By MAMIE MILLER The annual African daisy Is of the compostitae family, and came from South Africa. It has become very popular In our country. Grow them In all an nuals, or mixed borders for cutting too. These grow in bushy plants, with flower stalks up to 30 inches. The foliage is gray and wooly. The plants are drought-resistant and must have full sun. Baby’s Breath is a very valu able plant to grow to mix with cut flowers. They last a long time when cut. The foliage is grayish or blue green. They require full sun and thrive in ordinary soil. Gannas are blooming now, making a rather dull place showy. It Is a native of Asia and South America. They were originally gorwn in beds, pub lic parks and public buildings. Today we have beautiful ones on the market that are quite an improvement on our former single red, yellow and bronze ones.

I mind me in the days departed. How often underneath the sun With childish bounds I used to run To a garden long deserted. The beds and walks were van ished quite; And wheresoe’er had struck the spade, The greenest grasses Nature laid To sanctify her right. I called the place my wilder ness, ■ For no one entered there but I; The sheep looked in, the grass to espy, And passed it ne’ertheless. The trees were interwoven wild. And spread their bows enough about To keep both sheep and shepherd out. But not a happy child. Adventurous joy it was for me! I crept beneath the boughs and found A circle smooth of mossy ground Beneath a poplar tree. Old garden rose-trees hedged it in, Bedropt with roses waxen- white Well satisfied with dew and light And careless to be seen. Long years ago it might befall. When all the garden flowers were trim. The grave old gardener prided him On these the most of all. Nor thought that gardner, (full of scorn For men unlearned and simple phrase,) A child would bring it all its praise By creeping through the thorns!
