Stolen Plants and Flowers
DIS.GTH3TED.
Sir, — I would like to ask you, do you consider this fair. Most of us are ratepayers and love our gardens. Now that spring is here we love to work in the garden to make it beautiful, "God'e own garden fair." « But when we go out in the morning we see ruin; a few plants we loved so dearly left, others dug out, and flowers cut and taken away. Is there no protection from such A'ilcness? Some of those who rob gardens are motliers of children whqm they are teaching to be greedy, selfish wasters. Oh, it is liard to realise the wicltedness of people who call' themselves rcpectable. To see them in town they look so modest and good — but what miserable beings they are. Men who perliaps go to church on Sundays, on weelc nights steal plants. Wrhy don't they leave our gardens, and buy their own plants? It's disgusting, and I think something should be done. I sincorely wish some abler pen than mine could show those cads the errors of their ways. — Yours, etc.,
JLla.SllIlg; iAUgliSL 60, lifo/.
