SAYING IT IN FLOWERS
TILBURY’S WELCOME.
We hope that by the time these words appear in print Tilbury Docks will have solved its spring problem, says the Children’s Newspaper. This is, what flowers are to bloom in the gardens this year? . ‘The gardens of Tilbury Docks nav© leaped* into fame since they were first planted five years ago; and no wonder. Travellers have become so accustomed to dreary surroundings, when they embark or dlsembark that they experience a thrill ot surprised pleasure at having flowers to wave them farewell or bid them joyous welcome to England. ' . gardeners are the dock officials,, who do their cheerful work In their spare time.' The soil is not too good at Tilbury, and the time to spare is limited. We must all be grateful for the serious consideration given to this question of what flowera shall bloom at Tilbury this year, for they may be the first English flowers the stranger at our gates will see, and the last he will look oh when leaving us.” .
