Success With Geraniums.

1t is not true that geraniums will not
thrive in the open ground in Florida. |
never had grander plants, or those that
gave greater profusion of bloom than ]
have had here, on high pine land, in the
flower garden. My plan is this: In the
fall, about October, / prepare cuttings,
which [ winter in boxes, to protect from
frosts, which we are liable to have. By
the 1st OF March plant out in the open
ground, shading from wind and sun, till
the little plants are well established in
their new abiding place, then remove
shade, but as often as God forgets to
send rain on the UNJUST [ make a saucer
of earth around the stems, and fill once
or more with water for the thirsty roots
| like best, as fertilizer, stable manure
and muck composted, but almost any
kind will do.
When the sand gets hotenough to broil
steak, mulch the plants quite heavily
with almost anything at hand, though I
prefer the gray moss from the trees.
Deluge the soil around them every wash
day with soapy water. Geraniums are
apt to lose the lower foliage during the
hottest weather, but if kept pinched and
pruned they will round up beautifully as
the cool fall days come on, and if kept
from frost during the winter, will be
splendid plants through all the cooler
spring months, with blooms enough to
satisfy. MYRTLE.

Geraniums and Roses.

Editor Floral Department:
In answer to 'sNew Corners" inquiry
about growing geraniums in the open
ground. will say that have had the best
results by growing them to good size in
tubs or old buckets, then setting them
out in the early spring. Treated in this
way they continue to bloom abundantly
for four months. Prepare cuttings again,
by trimming the old stock in October.
Do not forget to use rich earth or manure
when planting.
To thelady who asked about Tea Roses
that would not grow or thrive on their
own roots (Which is frequently the case),
Fwould say: Get some good, hardy, run
ming roses for stocks, and bud on them.
Any and all kinds will then thrive-take.
for instance, the Marechal Neil, it will run
like grapevine if budded.
Am glad to see ''Sister" stirring people
about Florida plants. 1t is very funny
we should always ''go over the river a ter
water" and send the money away. That
should be when our yards are big enough
for a stranger; but our home beauties
first. LG.

rooted and do not bloom the first year,

stay another season. In November or
December select spot not too much

then throwing it back to cover the

Two Violet Beds.

Two little girls, passionately fond OF
flowers, obtained permission of their
parents to have two beds where they
could plant violets After school they
would go to the river and hunt for vio-
let's. How delighted they would be when
they found some rare specimens! They
would take them home and carefully
transplant them in their violet beds.
Then they would go to the shady wood
land, and perhaps down in some messy
dell find beautiful specimen, doing the
part allotted it, blooming and casting it's
delicate perfume upon the air. When any
choice specimen was brought home, not
only the little girls were happy, but all
the household, for the violet beds became
source of pleasure-a connecting link
between the children and grown people.
They continued gathering violets until
they had a choice collection of blue,
white, yellow, purple, mottled and striped
violets. And as long as these beds re-
ceived the care and love of these little
folks they were marvel of beauty.
Finally the violet beds were left to their
own destruction, for such it proved.
The hardy varieties rooted out the more
delicate ones, and in few years the pur-
pie and blue violets were the only varie-
ties left. A row of currant bushes was
the division line between these violet beds
and the flower and vegetable garden.
Here and there among the flowers and
vegetables would be seen bunch of vio-
let's in full bloom. Then the verdict was
pronounced 'Those violet beds must be
dug out root and branch" To see the
plowshare turn under those sacred vio-
let's was almost like severing the heart
strings. Those violets taught those little
girls to love the beautiful and ornate in
nature; and to see everywhere "the orna-
mental smile of creation" E.

CAN it be possible that among all the
children whose homes the AGRIcuLTURIsT
visits weekly there is but one boy who
loves and cultivates flowers? We cannot
think SO, but up to this date we have re-
ceived but one response to our invitation
to the children to write to us on the sub
iect. We are very proud of Master Ditto's
nice letter, which we publish this week,
and hope it may stimulate some other
boy or girl to follow his example. We
have written to him. and sent him nice
collection of flower seeds, from which we
hope he may derive much pleasure, and
shall expect areport of his success in their
cultivation. We also call the attention
of the children to the beautiful story Of
