verse of yesteryeur'a Valentiua. Many
a fluttering heart they caused!- Many ,
a shy lover spoke his ftrst words in'
praise of hia lady in one of thuse
heart shaped messages "To My
-Valentine."' ' j
' All Valentines, except comics, even i
when flowers in February were lux- j

of blossoms and plants. Flower*!
have always ranked high in the es-I

flowers in February arp within the
reach of all, thanks to the ingenuity
of the twentieth century, and the
vust greenhouses and conservatories
which dot tho country.
"Mowers will be plentiful for the
Valentine season this year," 'MLilteaof-the-Valley
violets, forget-me-nots,
primroses, roses, and many other
flowers especially suited in senti-1
mental tradition to the season are on '
the local markets, in plentiful %uanti-1
ties, and at prices that take them en- j
tirely out of the luxury class"The
use of flowers as, an expres-'
sion of sentiment, for Valentine's |
Day and for other occasions, has been j
growing steadily as the facilities fori
securing growing things, from every
climate have improved. There need
be no onerous study for the proper
words with which to express a ?t*eet-1
ing. 'Say It With Flowers,' the na- j
tional slogan of the Society of {
American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists, is more than a catch
phrase. Flowers actually represent
sentiments?one needs no words to
convey his thought when flowers are
sent-. That is because mankind has
always loved the beauty and .fragrance
of living flowers, and has always
compared them to the things he
loved best- That suggestion is al-1
ways present In a gift of flowers." ; "
