good to them which hate you.
Bless them that curse you, and
pray for them which desplte-

pie say their shrubs don’t have
berries. Keep your bush well
fertilized with plenty of super-
pho^hate, and usually it will
have plenty of berries. Usually
a bush has an abundance of ber
ries every other year.
You do not have to plant two
plants of the Burford holly in
order to have berries. All
Chinese hollies are of this na
ture. September and April are
the months to put out holly tr e es.
Damage to roots due to care
less transplanting, waterlogg
ed soil, lack of sufficient water,
or spray damage cause camellia
leaves to fall off. If you have a
camellia that doesn’t open in the
spring, it is due to not being
adjusted to outdoor growing.
It is advisable to replace your
bush. Cotton-seed mealandold
cow manure are excellent fer
tilizers for your camellia. The
effort you make to cultivate
these lovely flowers will pay

you rich dividends, and the
same goes for so many other
flowers too.
Save your leaves this fall.
Why burn or destroy valuable

This week’s Buds and Blos
soms poem, untitled, is from
the pen of New Bern’s Mildred
Hardison, and we feel sure
you’ll like it.
It was what is called one of
those nights of nights.
The lights went our and a
fierce storm raged.
I was all alone in a large,
spooky house.
You know that feeling, actual
ly I was caged.
My heart beat widly, my head
was in a spin,
My how nice it would have
been to have company;
Then I heard Itl It was only
a small sound.
Instantly I knew there was
someone here with me.
Cautiously, I made my way
around the wall.
And my hand came upon the
handle of a broom;
I picked it up and held it ever
so tight.
The sound came closer. It
It was in the very room.
I felt if I didn’t scream I
would surely burst.
How I was able to control
it I can never tell
Especially when I could hear
steps closer and closer
Coming right at me. Believe
me, I nearly fell.
I knew it was now or never.
I raised the broom.
Praying that I would not miss
I swung it down;
■I felt the impact when it made
contact.
And I realized by adversary
was down.
I don’t know how long I stood
there.
All I could think of was what
I had done.
Committing an act of criminal
violence
Is something that’s sickening
to anyone.
When the storm subsided and
the lights came on,
I screamed at the sight in
my house.
For there at my feet, cold in
death.
Lay the cause of my agony,
a little mouse.
