August Flowers, Aug. 24, 1923

Item in Our Town Column from The Southern Pines Newspaper It is the passing of the year for our wildflowers surviving the blazing suns of a long summer, but the road sides still are bright with blossoms in isolated patches of running vines or clusters of upstanding stalks. The large white, purple-center flowers of the Wild Potato Vines (Man of the Earth) not unlike giant morning glories; the smaller Morning Glory, in blue or purple; the sturdy Thistle with its purple crown: trailing Passion Flowers of pure pale beauty; fragrant Honeysuckle in white or pale yellow; Wild Milk Peas (Galactia) with flowers of delicate blue-purple; tall golden petaled “Brown Eyed Susans” swaying in the breeze still delight the eye.

From item is from a column on the front page of The Sandhill Citizen, Southern Pines, N.C., Aug. 24, 1923, and the illustration of the blond-haired girl tending her flower garden, called August, was something I found on the internet.
