BATON ROUGE was clothed in flowers, like a bride no, much more so; like a greenhouse. For we were in the absolute South now no modifications, no compromises, no half-way measures. The magnolia-trees in the Capitol grounds were lovely and fragrant, with their dense rich foliage and huge snow-ball blossoms.
