effect when properly grouped together.
They are easily transplanted, will thrive
in the dryest and most sterile locations,
and are beautiful both in leaf and flower.
What more could or need be said in their
favor?
Another native plant worthy of con-
spicuous position in our yards is Fry
thrina herbacea, quite universally known
in this part of the State as Cherokee
Bean, and in some localities as Turkish
Sword. 1t has long, carrot-like root,
and is easily transplanted, soon forming
good sized plant, presenting a most
gorgeous appearance when covered with
it's fame-colored spikes of flowers. These
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-01-16

are many in this State who would laugh
at you if you took the trouble to trans
plant a root of it to your yard.
For lmparting a tropical appearance
to surroundings the Yuccas are very val
liable, especially is this true of the Bayo-
net or Spanish Dagger (Y. aloifolia), a
large clump of it in somepart of the yard,
or standing, sentinel-like, on either side
of the gate, having very imposing effect.
1t grows along thecoast, and is occasion
ally found in the hammocks, attaining
height of ten or fifteen feet and produc-
ing a pyramidal panicle of white flowers,
followed by banana-like fruits. When
transplanted from the hammock to the
yard it soon improves much in appear
ance, the trunk becoming much more ro-
bust and the leaves broader and more
rigid.
Y. gloriosa is much more rare plant,
which does not grow to such height as
the Bayonet and is easily distinguished
from the latter by it's smooth-edged, blu
ish-tinted, broader, thinner and not so
stiff leaves. 1t is said to produce most
magnificent panicle of flowers, from two
to three feet in length.
Y. recurvifora is a lower-growing spe-
cies, with longer, recurved leaves, and
flowers occasionally tinged with green and
purple.
These four species are all the native
Yuccas we have east of the Mississippi,
but quite enough to produce charming

Geraniuns.

1t is very doubtful if there is a more
popular bedding plant at the North than
the geranium. Being a profuse and con-
slant bloOmer, thriving in Indifferent
soils and Withstanding drouths and
blazing sun with impunity, it has become
an established favorite and deservedly
so.
On coming TO this State one would very
naturally expect to find this plant at
tanning it's greatest perfection, to behold
it growing in great clumps and masses
about almost every dwelling. But we
have yet to see it. While the scented
leaved section of the family thrive here in
the open ground like weeds, the Zonale or
towering class seemed confined to pots
and boxes beneath the friendly shade of
the piazza; and grown in this manner,
we must confess we have never seen any
that could approach the beautiful pot
grown spe ;imens frequently seen at the
North
In portions of California the geranium
is at home in the open ground and fairly
outdoes itself. We read of it's growing in
such wild luxuriance as to Chamber to the
second story windows, and taking posses
sion OF fences, transforming them into
gorgeous hedges marvellous to behold.

are followed by brown pods, which burst,
disclosing the red beans" inclosed
These remain on the bush for long time,
rendering it nearly as ornamental as
when in bloom. Owing to the low and
rather spreading form which the plant
assumes, we think a very effective hedge
could be made by planting in two rows,
the rows about foot and half apart,
and the roots a foot apart in the row.
Farther south in the State we under
stand it frequently forms a large tree
foot or more in diameter. Here the top
is sometimes killed down in the winter,
but springs up again with unimpaired
vigor and is in bloom by April or May
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-01-16

The first plant we will notice grows
commonly in the pine woods and seems
to be quite universally known as Bear
Grass. It's botanical name is Yucca fla
mentosa, and it is worthy of a place in
every yard on account of it's highly orna-
mental character at all times. No mat
ter how poor the soil it always looks
fresh and green, and when it throws up
it's magnificent panicle of flowers it is III
deed marvellous sight. 1t is improved,
too, by cultivation and will well repay a
position in good soil. A friend in the
North writes us that she has cultivated it
for twenty years and has clumps that
produce thousands of flowers. Yet there

quently heard at the North, cannot be
brought up here. Flora has been too
lavish with her treasures in this sunny
cline, to admit of such an excuse. There
is no need of purchasing, for there are
quantities of the choicest and most de-
sirable to be had for the digging. The
pine woods and hammocks contain
enough beautiful plants, vines, shrubs
and trees to transform every barren,
sandy, uninviting door-yard in the State
into a pleasant place to loiter in. We
confess to being enthusiastic on the pos
sibilities to be derived from the use of our
native fora in embellishing the surround
ings of Florida homes; and in this series
of articles propose noticing a few of the
most desirable, and fervently hope an in
terest in the subject may be aroused.
