The Flower Harvest The Penzance Flower Show was held last

week. Few of us are so blessed as to be able to live in the shelter of Mount's Bay, where there really is no winter. In the Midlands a daffodil is in flower here and there, but the steep coves of West Cornwall are yellow with them. It is harvest-time down there, and a laborious one. But there must be a satisfaction in this harvest of flowers of a cuter quality than in the harvest of corn. There is high romance, too, in the boxes of flowers labelled for every part of the country. We ought to be grateful that we live in times when the early spring of Cornwall can be shared over the whole country.
