Overview

Mary Mary Quite Contrary tries to grow some flowers, but it isn't quite as simple as she thinks. For the flowers that she grows prefer to mix, not stand in rows. As they wither, Mary Mary's heart sinks. (The episode retells the nursery rhyme of "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary." The story was adapted from the tale of "Mistress Mary" in L. Frank Baum's "Mother Goose in Prose.")
