Don't Ret those !" said the city florist last winter, with a prescient glance at my country-cut coat. "They're way put of style; no one ever buys violets any more. They're too msdest too small." She pointed to a few meagre bou quets that lookod very modest indeed, drooping on their wilted stems. "They're not gay enough, not quite correct. Oh, ye?, some times men the old-fashioned kind that say 'thank you, mad am,' and call little girls 'Sissy' buy a bunch for 'mother'; lut of course they, lived m the ag,H wheu flowers were distinctly em blematic, deep with esoteric meaning, and to this day they can't pay their wives a greater tribute or compliment than to present them with a bunch of violets. Then, too, when a girl Is in mourning and can't wear anything else, there is a slight demand, but to wear them from choice, or for a young man to send violets to a girl !" . She held tip her hands in horror. The little violets nodding their lowly head1? by the great patch of hauahty orchids had a mysti cal meaning to me other than their quiet pie for dollars and cents. Modesty, sweetness, in nate gentility these glowed in the deep blue of each frcrant messenger that wafted a song on rav heart-string of memory. Between the flower-stand and counter, childhood paths, bor dered with violets, stood out in their beauty again. Across the Roper field with Drown Eys.

How different the little flower appeals to the coun try bred for once having pluck ed the dainty little flower amid the rustle of ' leaves, tufts of grass, and the hum of bees in blossom, it is through life an undying part of happy memo ries not to be linked with the vanishing of the violet in the passing of zephyrs of society. There is no social code to govern the working of Nature, for out here in the country the earth is yielding up the same old creation of years moss and flowers wnere the violets reign in their quieb significance. Here we drink every quickened sense the cup that Nature fills for us, when, by the style and country road, we greet the tremulous flower all roofed in by sunny blue sky. In springtime, to be awakened fresh and bright by the Bob White's whistle on the dewey dawn, to go violetingand dream through days that are long spun threads of gold, linked by starry nichts of silver t hat, and all other attachments to the lit tie lower, must be cast aside if one would iali in line with the unstable ideas of "the smart set." ....

Phillips & James wish to announce that they have just signed contracts for the appear ance of the Ethel Morton Opera Company at the Opera House. Wednesday, May 19. A 'more pleasing attraction could scarce ly be imagined. Though Miss Morton tours the country an nually, this will be her initial ap pearance iu this city. Miss Mor ton's management has sent Man ager Phillips & James a clip ping, which is hereby reproduced ver batim : The comic opera classic "Dor cas" was the attraction at the Academy of Music last night, and it was greatly enjoyed by the audience, which gave fre quent af plause. The opera was very bright throughout, and in it Miss Ethel Morton, as the charming "Dorcas,' was as at tractive as could be, her singing being delightfully sweet and cap tivating. The company is a clever one throughout and gives a bright and happy perform ance that is certain to be enjoy ed by all who see it, and theatre goers should not miss it. The pretty costumes and the scenery add much to the presentation of the merry opera Raleigh News and Observer, March 28. Judging bv the favorable criti icism given this attraction at Raleigh, local theatre-goers will do well to avail themselves of an opportunity to witness one of the most pretentious entertain ments ever given in this city. The company this season ia aug mented" by a most attractive chorus, and for each opera pro duced there ia a full scenic equip ment carried, tc say nothing of the gorg ouf costumes, some of which have been imported a; gra expanse, mere will no doubt be an unusual demand for tickets, so Managers Phillips & James have made arrangements to hav'the reserve seats on sale at the Benton Clothing Store at kaafc a week in advance of the usualtime ( 3 EI EE - J WATERMELONS.

Dear Sirs: I beg to advise that I bought of your mill last; seasoH sufficient of your 8-4-4 Mel jnite Fertilizer for watermelons to go to twenty-two acres of laud at the rate of 350 lbs. per land acre, and it affords me pleasure to state that I shipped as large melons as were shipped by any one from any of the sur rounding shipping points, and that prices obtained bv me were far above the average, although prices roled low generally. Had prices been entirely satisfactory during the entire shipping season I am satisfied that 1 could have shipped 16 standard car loads of melons from tbe 22 acres.

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal supply of Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant foods that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized that " return to the land what the tree removes if you would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best growers. Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond tj careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. u I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O. Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., " and yours proved to be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest because of their good qualities give better satisfaction and quicker results. Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub lished in the new 1909 Farmers' Year Book, a copy of which will be sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
