self together, hiding the purple, and then
the cluster droops downward. This, you
see, is quite like the sensitive Oxalis, only
it does not shrink at the touch. 1t is a
very interesting variety and ought to be
more generally known.
There are several plants that close their
leaves at night, among them the Locust
tree. The little leaves all along the branch
fold up together. In some plants the
leaves stand up to sleep as does the Lo-
Gust, each leaf against it's opposite; in
others they lie down along the branch
low clover which has, like other clovers,
three leaflets on each stalk. When going
to sleep, each of the three twists itself
around through the quarter of a circle,
turning one of the side edges upward
Two of the leafets-the side ones-face
toward the north, one little to the east
of north, the other a little to the west.
The middle leafet turns sometimes east
ward, sometimes westward, and in doing
SO it twists itself over so as to protect it's
own upper surface and one of the other
leaflets at the same time.
That mapping plants suffer if not al
lowed to sleep has been demonstrated by
the experiments of DR.. Darwin. Had we
space we would quote from him on this
point. Flowers, too, sleep by closing
their petals. We have had a Due Won
Thai Tulip so fully open as to lie fat and
in the morning have found it closed like
an unopened flower. This seemed to me
very wonderful The subject is full of in
terest, and perhaps some may be led by
these facts to pursue it still further.-Mrs.

Pegging Down Roses.

This is another way of making our gar
dens more interesting, and may well be
done in the case of all vigorous growing
roses. Beds, borders or groups of roses
SO treated are amongst the most delight
full things in garden. If the long shoots
OF the past seasons growth are pegged
down to the ground they will flower their
whole length, whereas if left standing only
the upper buds will break, and if pruned
hard back beauty is literally and need
lessly sacrificed. Astrong shooti is usually
thrown upfrom the base of the one pegged
down, SO that when pruning time comes
the operation here is simply to cut away
the old shoot and peg down the new one,
and so on year after year. One season of
growth, another OF flower and then the
shoot is cut away. Thus the roses are
ever being rejuvinated and the youthful
vigor brings abundance of bloom.
A bed of Moss Roses treated in this way
has certainly been one of the prettiest
things have seen this summer. But all
roses that make avigOrous annual shoot
can be similarly treated Gloire de Dion,
Bouquet dor, Reve dor Madame Berard
and others of this class often make shoots
six or eight feet long in one year, and
what could be more beautiful than to see
them bearing flowers their whole length

morning to supply the neighbours children
with their little button-hole bouquets.
1t is gratifying to ones pride to have
dozen or more persons call each day ''iust
to see the flowers" quite expecting and,
in fact, receiving nosegay each, and it is
almost a privilege to send flowers to
adorn the bride, or to place on the bosom
of the dead; yet if all these flowers, for
these varied purposes, must be furnished
by one, that person must use some fore
thought, or else see his or her flower bed

Aquatics in Sulphur Water.

Editor Floral Department.:
In regard to your editorial warning
Others against attempting to grow aquat-
les in sulphur alter, there are several res
ervations to be made: 1. Warm sulphur
water, such as [ have (760 to 77o). seems
admirably suited to the growth of most
water plants for the first two or three years
and think the forcing temperature has
more to do with their subsequent decline
than the mineral in the water In fact,
the plants bloom themselves to death in
many cases. 2. The appearance in my
pools of sort OF water grass (?) which
grows in spite of all efforts to subdue it,
so fast as to choke and clog everything
has, in my opinion, a very injurious effect
upon the other plants and may be the
principal cause of my trouble.

Flower Users.

For one reason or another the majority
of flower users are not flower raisers, and
necessarily the few must supply the
many. In the city or large town all can
procure their needed flowers from profess
sional florists, butin many smaller places
thereis no small demand constantly being
made on the amateur who raises choice
flowers. 1t is real pleasure to give ones

Movements of Leaves.

There is something very interesting in
the study of those plants which have the
popularity of constant motion with their
leaves without any apparent cause. Hav-
ing recently obtained some seed of the
Hdysarum gyrans, which possess this
characteristic, | was led to look into the
matter a little, and thinking that others
might be interested, ! will tell them
about it.
Mr.. Peter Henderson says of H. gyrans:
That it is remarkable for the property
possessed by it's leaves of setting up
spontaneous motion, independent, so far
as observation reaches, of all external
Impressions. Without being touched or
excited by heat, light, wind or rain, some
times a whole leaf, sometimes a single
leafet, oscillates or gyrates, continuing
to move for an indefinite time, and ceas-
ing without known cause.
Martin, in his Natural History. differs
somewhat as to the movement, ascribing
it to the influence of the sun. will give

but solely by the influence of the suns
rays. When the sun shines the leaves
move briskly in every direction; their
general motion is, however, upward and
downward, but they not infrequently
turn almost around, and then their foot
stalks are evidently twisted. Those mo-
tions go on incessantlv as long as the
heat of the sun continues; but they cease
during the night, or when the weather is
cloudy or cold.
Another plant of like movement is Des-
medium, called also Moving Plant and
Tick -Trefo1l. There is only one variety
of this extensive genus of hardy perenni-
ais and tender evergreen shrubs that pos
sesses this property of motion, and that
is D. gyrans, native of India, rarely seen
under cultivation. Henderson, in his
Handbook of Plants" says;
SThe singular, spontaneous rotary mo-
tion of the leaflets of this plant renders it
an object of great interest. The leaves
are composed of three leaflets, the termi-
nal one being very large and the laterals
very small, but these are almost con-
stantly in motion. They execute little
jerks somewhat analogous to the move
ments of a watch. One of the leaflets
arises and the other descends, at the same
time and with a corresponding force.
When the first begins to descend, the
other begins to rise. The large leafiet
moves also, inclining itself first to the
right, then to the left, but by a cOntinu-
Gus and very slow movement when COM
pared with that of the lateral leaflets;
this singular mechanism endures through
| out the life of the plant. Tt exercises itself
day and night through drouth and hu-
| day, the more lively are it's movements.
| 1t is not unusual for the leafet to make
| sixty jerks in the minute; this they will
not do, however, under artificial cultiva-
| tion, except when the plant is subjected
to great heat. These movements occur
| spontaneously and without any apparent
cause"
The movement of the leaves of the
| Mimosa or Sensitive Plant is we'll known.
There are three species, the leaves (which
shrink to the touch: M. sensitiva ma
tive Of Brazil NJ pudica, also OF Brazil.
This is the Sensitive plant, most COM
monty cultured. M. casta is native of
| the East Indies. 1t bears yellow flowers;
the other two have pink blossoms
The leaves of the Sensitive plant are
twice pinnate and dgitate; the leaflets
are small, linear and of many pairs. If
slightly touched, they suddenly shrink,
lie oblong, and the branch itself droops
downward.
Another Sensitive plant is Oxalis sensi-
tiva. 1t has small, feathered leaves with
leaflets from six to sixteen pairs; lower
side bright purple The leaves retract or
shrink at the slightest touch or breath,
folding themselves SO closely that the
purple color cannot be seen. The flowers
are small and yellow; the seeds are con-
tanned in capsules, which, when fully ripe,
burst open and scatter the seed to a dis
tance of five or six feet Tt is native of
the East Indies, where it is regarded with
superstitiOus reverence and wonderful
properties are attributed to it. 1t is also
found on this continent.

duced here. We want to provide dis
play Of our products and resources gem
orally, as other enterprising towns every
where are doing, and place
where visitors and immigrants can
get reliable information with regard to
every matter of interest to them here.
Our immigration interests are in jeopardy
through changes in handling Of the
tourist travel. We should look to that.
This Chamber should take hold of the
question of labor for the unemployed, of
whom there are now so many amongst
US, and urge the prosecution OF public
and private enterprises and devise ways
and means, us far as lies in its power, to
provide employment for them. Itshould
urge the speedy construction of the
sewerage system of the city ana the i'm
provement of the parks, drives and all
public grounds.
1t should endeavor to bring about a
change in the methods of assessing and
collecting the State and county taxes, as
we'll as in the time when they are paya-
BILE. The treatment of the public in
these matters has become too grievous to
be borne.
1t should buy and distribute through
out the East more copies of the Los An
geles daily and weekly papers, or else
publish paper OF its own.
1t should in every possible way en-
deavor to stir up the kind of public
spirit which has built up the cities of
Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City
that energetic broad-minded, far-sighted
policy that results. when men of ability
lift themselves out of the ruts of every
day business, church and society mat
ters and, looking abroad at the rest OF
the world, endeavor to direct its affairs
80 that they shall work to the benefit OF
the country where they live, whose des-
TIMES are so largely at their disposal.
Let every one who has the welfare oi
this community at heart endeavor to in
crease the membership of the Chamber.
We ought to have at least thousand
members. 1t is essential to the life OF
this city that such body should be
maintained.
The field of the Board of Trade is not
that of this Chamber. That Board has
business enough to attend to in matters
directly affecting the occupation of its
members. The majority of it's members
are with us in this view of our relations.
Let US then awake to renewed activity.
Let us hasten the era of renewed pros
perity-not the unsafe, feverish, transient
condition of year ago, but q solid, sub
stantial, honorable growth; not the
hurry and frenzy of q mob, but the
march Of q grand army.

members of the Chamber. Some of it's
members have been to San Francisco
and Sacramento on two different trips at

exhibit.

eugar-beet industry, has been taken hold
of by this chamber, the first to act in
the matter. and recognize its Importance,
Everything possible in connection with
it has been done. A meeting with Mr..

gugar-beet raising here now seems, al
most altogether, to rest upon the changes
that may be made by Congress in the
tariff on imported sugar.
