The educational census has given
opportunity to see many of the col
ored homes and it is very interest
ing to see that nearly every yard
had many blooming plants. One
of the prettiest colord homes I no
ticed was the home of Maggie Will
iams. Her yard was large and not
a sprig of grass seen among her
roses. She has a fine collection of
rare roses. She said the way she
got these roses, they were rooted
from blooms her friends gave her.
She has a specimen arborvitea that
is beautiful and only a few years
old.
