Flowers Fooled. By adding a “darkhouse” to greenhouses and hothouses, Cornell University, New York, horticulturists have abolished the four seasons for flowers. They fool flowers into blooming at un-heard-of periods. Their work promises millions in savings to the flower trade and cheaper blooms for everyone. They have found that you can fool some of the flowers all the time, all the flowers some of the time, but a Scotch heather is the hardest to fool. Time casts its glamour o’er mankind And cranks create the cults we find— Born sycophants may so incline, I worship at no earthly shrine. The greatest mortal like the least Beneath his skin is half a beast; And must for bronchial ills assure With needful Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. 14
