FARMER BART BRASSICA’S FLORAL FIAT

While Farmer Bart B.’s favourite crop is brussel sprouts, which he always says are the highlight of European Epicurean Culture, from time to time he gets a little dizzy and plants what he calls ‘fancy daisies”. There is some talk around the neighbourhood that this surfeit of chrysanthemums is really a romantic ploy on Bart’s part, others say it’s because he gets $2 a bunch for them in his roadside stall. Bart will not tell a soul the secret of his giant blooms, not even Mavis Eggwhistle the local florist, who has asked twice.
