JUNE 30: Cozy Balsam Flowers
“I am sure,” said daddy, “that the scarlet flowers known as the Balsam flowers love the very coziness of a fireplace. For they always thrive better in a room where there is an open fire than they do with Mr. Sun’s rays shining down upon them.
“And perhaps they can read stories in the fireplace. Perhaps they can see fairy-tales being acted in the blue and red and orange flames.
“Anyway, they love the open fires, and so I think we ought to call them the cozy Balsam Flowers!”
