Guest From Vancouver BY MADALEXE L. CALL1N How a sick woman, searching for the health to be found in sunshine and fresh air, developed a good paying business, is the story revealed at the home of Mrs. M. M. Magee at Rickey. A few years ago Mrs. Mageo was a semi-invalid. Realising that Lout-of-dopr life would help her. she started to work among her flowers. She planted only -one dozen bulbs and so limited was her strength, that she but dug arcund them with a small fork in her attempt at cultivation. In a short time her health be gan to improve for the sunshine and fresh air were doing the work. The flower beds grew in size and beauty and before long were attracting the attention of passers-by who stopped and ask ed if the Jovely flowers were for sale. Uusfne Grows Fawt The idea of a' paying business was born. Mrs. Mage resolved to go into the work on a larger scale and from the proceeds add to that fund for educating the two daughters, for which Mr. and Mrs. Magee were so earnestly working and planning. The flow er fund was diverted into the "Education Kund," and every year the business has Increased with gratifying; rapidity. Mrs. Mace specializes in Iris, but she grows dahlias, gladiolus, and chrysanthemums as well. That is she grows these for com mercial purposes, but to me it seemed that there is an endless variety of flowers which she grows "Just for the fan of it." Moat of the many kinds with which I am familiar, and many of which I never have heard be fore, I saw in the Magee garden. Gardens Show Thought Mrs. Magee has 76 varieties of iris, an equal number of dahlias, 100 varieties of gladiolus and 50 different kinds of ' chrysanthe mums. All these, with the many different kinds of other flowers, are to be found on less than an acre of ground. The garden are a marvel of careful planning and thoughtful use of the resources at hand. Many interesting experiments in flower culture and propagation are being carried on here. Mr. Magee is particularly successful at hand pollenizing and although t hi? work has not been done ex tensively the results so far have been very interesting. Few people would have the pa tience to develop iris from the reeds, particularly when o n e learns that it takes three years from the time the seeds are plant ed for the flowers to bloom. Mrs. Msgee has planted seeds secured from Rome and many other places where I did not even know that Iris grew. Secret of Growing Given I asked Mrs. Magee Just what she considered the secret of suc cess with flowers. She replied: "Just two things, lots of water and lots of cultivation." If re sults may be taken as proof she surely has found the secret and now she has more orders for flowers and bulbs than she can fill.
