Some of the blooms are so perfect and their coloring so gorgeous that they are the object of glowing comment wherever garden-lovers gather. This was true of the recent education convention of the California Real Estate association. Held In the Palace hotel, this gathering had a background of roses. The localites present, while admiring 'the beauty of the roses, said 1 little about them.

But the southern California visitors, who came to speak at the convention, could not say enough about these blooms. Coming from where everything is just a bit more super than where else, they were, nevertheless, amazed at the gorgeor.s colors and choice textures of the roses grown here. Then the information came out that some- of the flowers were from the garden of Ruth Kington, some of them were given by Margaret Wilcox from her garden bu! most of them came from the garden of the B. A. Bantas on Ford street, said to be the largest rose garden in Ukiah.

And then the topic switched to the very- nice qualities of these rose growers who were so generous with their flowers. Thanks to them the visitors returned home with glowing reports about the beauty of the roses grown here. Iris Tour and the Leila Romer Iris Rebekah!
