FLOWERS IN MEXICO. So I'lciitlrut Tlmt TJicj- Arc Uho.1 I'nr lircnt l'ul, Il IH'onrutltiim, As a people the Mexicans are very fond of flowers, and every village, town and city has lis place where flowers are sold, and many of the larger places have extensive flower markets. Often the (lowers brought to the market are wild hpecliueiis found In tho woods and the llelds, but all are beautiful. In many of the smaller towns and villages the public parks and the sidewalks of the streets tiro used as places for the sale of Ilowers. Everywhere they may be bought at surprisingly low prices. So plentiful are Ilowers they ore used for great public decorations. Some times whole parks and the fronts of buildings for many streets are covered with llornl decoration.? on a feast day. The Mexican love of ilowers has been Inherited from a long line of llower loving ancestors. More than a thou sand years ago the chief feature of worship among the Toltecs was the great lloral ollerlng which was made to the fair god once a year and which lasted for a whole Mexican week.

Every one In tho procession carried flowers to lay upon the altar of the god or to place upon tho steps or walls of his temple. In this procession were princes, nobles, priests and com moners. This lloral festival was an expression of tho love of nature for which the Toltecs were noted. Until they came Into contact with the Az tecs later on In history they were pure ly nature worshipers, and Ilowers and fruits formed the chief part of their offerings. So the Mexican conies by his love of tlowers honestly. IiittTiimrr lntv Ainoinr IUioUh.
