Pleasant View, the home of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, was a bower of floral beauty on Easter Sunday. The white lilies which the world recognizes as the symbol of the day were there, tall, straight, and golden hearted. Crimson roses with their deep coloring vied and contrasted with the spotless purity of the lilies. Magnificent blossoms of the hydrangea, a foot across, azaleas, lilies of the valley, smilax, all these and many other superb products of the conservatory added to the rich furnishings of Mrs. Eddy's home the touch of life, color, and glorious springtime appropriate to the day.
Beautiful were the flowers in themselves, and the motives that prompted their senders made the floral offerings the bearers of tender and loving messages. From followers of "Mother" Eddy all over the continent came these tokens of loyalty. Friends in Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Boston, led the van and many others followed. It was a spontaneous tribute of regard from Christian Science's tens of thousands to the marvelous woman who is the leader of their faith.
A few Concord people, including Mayor and Mrs. Woodworth, and City Solicitor and Mrs. Sargent, were privileged to witness the grand display and were profuse in their expressions of surprise and admiration. A gentleman who has been a florist for many years said that some of the specimens were the finest he had ever seen.
