Diving Pear Tree Saved.

An Ingenious plan to save a dying pear
tree was adopted in the garden of l.. NJ.
Chase, of Boston. The mice had girdled
the tree 30 that it seemed bound to die
Mr.. Chase planted four small trees around
1t and close to it, cut off the tops, pointed
the ends, and, making lncisions in the
bark of the pear, bent the small trees aud
grated them upon the dying trunk. They
all lived, and that tree draws its nourish-
ment from the small ones. Last season a
bushel OF handsome pears were taken

Despite our care, some tenderlings will show
a blackened leaf here and there. How
desolate the garden looks, with the yellow
and dun colored leaves swirlIDg along the
paths and forming rustling heaps on the
beds The sound of their dropping from
the trees is like sigh, and so il is-a sigh
for the vanished summer.
If We have been wise during the August
and September days, we have taken vigor-
Gus cuttings OF such plants as we cherish in
our winter window. garden, and their re.
moval to the house can be speedily accom-.
plished when the first frosts threaten.
These We can depend upon for winter
blossoms; but the large plants must have
needed rest. Tenderly as you may lift
them, carefully as you may guard them
from wind and sun, their beauty is sure to
fade in the transition.
1t seems to me that the beauty OF foliage
plants is not enough appreciated. A few
geraniums will persistently put forth enor-
nous trusses OF brilliant tints. Remark
able" indeed, is we'll worthy its name-its
color, clear cherry tint, delightful to be-
hold. But even this does not equal the
golden and bronze varieties, whose only
claim on our regard is their foliage. All
the varieties of color are attractive-in a

How lovely the Anthericum (St. Bruno's
lilly Is with its long, slender, recurved
leaves, broadly edged with white, and its
swaying stem of starry-white flowers find

And begonias. an endless list, all good

Ageratums are valuable where blossoms
are required, and il water enough be given,
callas are persistent bloomers. As one
flower shows signs of fading, pull up its
stalk and another soons appears.
Surely we all are provident enough to
supply few bulbs to keep our window
cheerful. Roman hyacinths, tulips, GRO
cuses, pots here and there with fuchsiss.
And / am quite sure that in the care OF
these gentle treasures-almost sentient

into virtues which we should not be apt to
possess without their silent presencs.

The Wild Orange.
[Marysyille Cali Appeal.


at recent meeting OF the Executive
Association OF Sacramento there was an
interesting talk about shade and orna-
mental trees, with the object of deter
mining what kind should be selected for
adornment of the streets and other
public places. The merits of the various
sorts of trees were discussed, the general
opinion favorlng evergrsens, especially
semi-tropic eyergreens of the harder
descriptions, as the best suited for the
Eastern visitors with the mildness of the
climate. An interesting and valuable
suggestion came from Robert Williams IN,
the veteran nurserymRn, who favors the
planting of the bitter orange tree, such as
is found growing wild in many portions
of Florida. He thought 1t the best tree
that could be chosen.
A Florida gentleman present Endorsed
this suggestion, saying that the wild orange
is being planted very extensively in the
towns and cities of Florida for ornamental
purposes, He described it as very hardy,
growing rapidly to a large size, and possess
ing greater beauty than the sweet orange
tree. In 1885, he said, when cold killed all
the sweet orange trees on the st, John
river, the wild orange trees were unframed,
and specimens are standing in the woods
that are known to be at least one hundred
years old. The wild orange, be added, is
the pride OF Florida cities. aud is used very
extensively In the State Is stock upon
which to graft the sweet varieties of the
orange
1t is rather a matter of wonder that the
wild orange has not been already intro
| duced for ornamental purposes. A few
nuIseTymen have found out its merits as a
stock for grating, and there have been sew
eral importations OF orange trees from
Florida grated upon such stock. 1t is to
be hoped that the tree will come into
general use In sll our towns and cities for
| ornamental purposes. Nothing could look
more beautiful than rows OF wild orange
trees laden with golden fruit which,
though unpalatable, would be larger and
hanCs than the eatable oranges

particular attention to the prevalence of the

observations to the Rural Home. After al
luding to the destruction of orchards by
the intense cold of winter in the regions of
the Northwest, he expresses the opinion
that in at least part of those regions the
blight of the trees is proving more tor

years; and its fatal effects are extending in
the States bordering on the Upper Missis-
sippi. 1t Is slight in the Atlantic States and
in regions near the great lakes. In Michi-

as important as its hardness The opinion

Apples In New England.

The apple, taken all In all, said Mr.. Haw-
den at farmers meeting, is the best fruit
God ever gave to man. Few superior va
rieties were cultivated till within sixty
years. Our new choice varieties ara seed
liDgs selected from the many trees that
have come up from seeds scattered by cattle
at pasture. The Bald win is the most pro.
fitable apple for the market. but not the
best for other uses. The Rhode Island
greeniDg is better apple and has been
proved longer than any other grated ap-
pie. The Roxbury russell is late keeper
that can not be spared, yet it is not popu-
lar market fruit. The Gravenstein stands
unrivaled among fall apples, and when in
bloom it has no superior among Towering
trees and shrubs. Numerous varieties of
high character have only local reputation,
such as the Pickman .pippln and Holden
pippin, the latter very desirable apple in
Worcester County. The mother apple has
more aroma than any other, but ii is not
profitable for ma rket. OF the forty varie-
ties which the speaker had grown he con-
sidered the Palmer greening the best. 1t
Is the only one in use in his family from
December to May. The Sutton bids fair
to take high stand for export. 1t keeps
till April. The trees grow upright when
young, but spread wider in bearing The
red Astrachan has many friends, but Is not
as desirable for cultivation as the Duchess
Of Oldenburg. The apple crop is the most
profitable Massachusetts, grows for export.

New Apples.

The London Garden, in speaking of the
efforts in raising new varieties of apples
very Justly remarks that "the proper thing
TO do is to make better use OF the sorts we
already possess" and says that the raising
of new varieties has been already overdone.
Better management and better cultivation
would greatly improve the dozen finest va
rieties which are most commonly planted.
There are doubtless some others among the
1900 described sorts, which would prove
valuable II they could be properly tested
In the localities most suited TO them, and
there may be few scattered sorts which
have never been tried away from the places

House Plants.

Dr.. j. N. Anders lectured recently before
the students and friends of the Medico.
Chirurgicsl College of Philadel phia, his
subject observes the Public Ledger, being
he Hygiene of House Plants"
1t was remarked that Notwithstanding
, the fact that many of our most valuable
medicinal remedies were long ago extracted
from vegetable life, yet growing plants,
more particularly when cultivated indoors,
had not, prior TO the last decade been
regarded as possessing any sanitary advan-
tags, and, when kept In the sick chamber
or sleeping rooms, they became positively
hur full.
Oar ancestors held the notion that plants
exercise injurious effects because they give
10 TIE air carbonic acid at night and take
IRON the air oxygen during the same time;
bui 1t has been shown conclusively by ex-
pertinent that the amount of these gaseous
bodies either given to or taken from the
atmosphere Is too small to have any appre-
niable effect, even when the plants are kept
in living and sleeping rooms. Hence there
)nre no valid objections to the practice of
keeping flowers right In the home circle.
On the other hand, house plants have de-
cidedly beneficial influence on the atmos-
phere Of the home. The lecturer pointed
out the power OF growing plants and
flowers to relax tension of mind, as well "a
TO give the feeting of companionship,
But the most important sanitary effects
of which plants are capable are due to two
functions, VIZ, transpiration and their
ozoneproducing powers.
The frst Of these functions u important,
