Page Three Buds AND Blossoms •y MAMIE MILLER REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS “I will turn their mourninf;; Into joy, and will conjfortthem, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.”—jer, 31:13. As a child, did you think you were “Mary, Mary, quite con trary?” Well, It seems to me that flowers were given such fascinating names, you felt you were a part of this beautiful, magical world, and fitted Into all the nursery rhymes. What about Jack-in-ihe-Pul- plt. Brown Eyed Susan, Violet, Rosey, Forget-Me-Not, Love Lies Bleeding, Bleeding Heart and Job’s Tears? Sweet Wil liam met all the ladies at the flower socials. We lived In a make believe world of imagin ation, but it added to our hap piness. It is time to enjoy your mag azines and seed catalogue, and to start forcing branches indoors. Crab apples, cherfies, quince, pussy willows, for- sythias, jasmine, oak tree branches and maples make lovely arrangements. Cut the branches and mash the tower part of the stems with a hammer. Stand them in a foot or two of water In a cool room, and keep the branch sprinkled until It forces its buds out. You may still stay Indoors and en joy the great outdoors. This week, for our Buds and Blossoms poem, we bring you a sample of Ben King’s humor and whimsey, titled “The Pessimist.” Nothing to do but work.
