Text: suitable Mr Rhododendron & Mrs Larch, the / first being, except for a flare-up once a year, / of such equable temperament, constantly evergreen: / and the second because, being so tall, she would / be able to overlook everything and everyone with / womanly care, and even any little exhibitions of / pride or folly, The wisest in the valley, always / known as the SAGE was, of course, / also chosen, not only on account of his / uprightness, but because he was so cautious, / for he never spoke without first facing north, / south, east and west, and looking to the right, to / the left, in front and behind. / Prizes were to be adjudged to those who had / the best dresses, considered from the point of / view of beauty, utility and originality
