GARDEN JOKES
A BRIDAL TIP The meanest family I know—needless to say they are quite well off—recently had a daughter married. The wedding was semi-private and quiet, but elegant. and the table decorations were specially admired. “Yes,” said the mother complacently, “we got all the flowers from the cemetery round the corner. The caretaker is not allowed to sell them, of course, so he let us have them very cheap.” And the bride, beamed, not at all disturbed that her first meal was adorned with white blooms “pinched” from graves. FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS When the Mayor of a small Victorian town died his brother councillors wired a city florist for a special wi-eath of white roses—his favourite .flowers. The blooms arrived in good condition and eclipsed all the local floral tributes. During the night the best of the flowers were stolen from the wreath on the grave and next day a stranger carried oft the first prize for 12 cut roses at a flower show in a near-by township.
