Among the most important literary undertake

and left the leaves as green and fresh look
ing as ever.
The plant began blooming about the
middle of March, and continued in bloom
until the middle OF August, and in the
meantime ran over the borders of the
bed. For fully three months that plant
must have borne thousand flowers per
day, the whole bed looking like a large
bouquet. The flowers were very sweet
scented, the perfume being very distin-
guishable block away. AsI liveso close
to the Gulf beach, this had attracted
much attention from passers by. None
had ever seen as large a single plant of
the kind The main stem was about one
inch and a half in diameter, and as it grew
the branches lay PROSTATE on the bed,
while the flowers were borne on stems
shooting up from these prostrate branches
from six inches to foot high.-Vick's

grass that is unsulted to Florida. My
first Bermuda was set nine years ago.
Has it spread? To be sure it has. Has
it got into your orange grove? Certainly
it has, part of the grove is as solid a
sod as was ever seen in any country. 1t
is as rich bit of pasture as / ever saw.
My pony fills herself on it every day, and
pronounces it 0. K. The orange trees
look well, too, though in time Of drouth
they suffer more than others. There are
great patches of Bermuda all over the
grove, and they are spreading larger
every year and more of them. 1t is con-
testing titles for supremacy with maiden
cane and nut grass No doubt we shall
again see an Illustration of the survival
of the fittest." A sharp psteel 13-inch plow
with sharp coulter, drawn by two mules
fed on Florida oats, turns over Bermuda,
maiden cane, nut grass and all their as
sociates as smooth as pancake, and the
beauty of such sod is the fact that it
does not allow the bare soil to lie for
weeks blistering in the sun, but immedi-
ately covers it with new coat of living
green. IT'S our people that are hard to
please. All other grasses will die out,
and so are neglected; Bermuda grass
will not die, so that is condemned. I

Preparing for a Lawn.
Manatee, Florida.

In order to have a good lawn quick
ly in dry soil, the ground must be en-
riched and well plowed. To avoid weed
seeds, this enriching had best be done with
ground bone, sown on the furrow at the
rate of eight or ten pounds to the square
rod Along with this, either good wood
ashes in about double the quantity, or
muriate of potash in the same quantity,
is necessary. 1t is worth taking consider
able time and trouble, when preparing to
seed, to get the ground level, or evenly
graded, as depressions are not only un-
slightly, but as they collect water they are
usually weedy spots. After plowing, har-
row well, SOW the seed and "board down"
the surface in the ordinary way in which
gardens are smoothed for fine seeds. Then
keep off the surface until the grassis large
enough to be safely walked upon.-Vick's s
Magazine for September.

A Great Petunia Plant.

Two years ago got apackage OF Petu-
MIA seed from you, being the small flow
cred mixed seed. This planted, togeth-
er with Abronia seed, in around bed raised
about nine inches above the surrounding
lawn. They both came up and bloomed
well together from the latter part OF May
until the middle or latter part of August,
when dry weather and hot sun caused
the plants to dry up, with the exception
of one Petunia plant. In clearing the bed
noticed that considerable part ofthat
plant, large one, was still alive, and let
it remain, clearing it of grass and weeds
which had dcreptin the bed. 1t commenced
to grow again, and in january following
the single plant had completely covered
the bed, about four feet in diameter. A
wet norther at that time completely en-.
cased each leaf in ice, and l thought the
plant was killed; buta warm rain followed

that, good complete fertilizer, using
about five pounds to thesquare rod, once
in a season, after the first spring moving,
will keep it up. An odorless brand is to
be preferred Wood ashes alone will keep
up the grass for some time; but when this
is used it is well to apply some nitrous
fertilizer occasionally, say a pound of nj
trate of soda to the rod, when and where
the grass lacks greenness.
At another time / will say something
about the planting of trees and shrubbery
on this class of lawns, where not much ex-
pense can be incurred-Vick's Magazine.

A Bermuda Grass Lawn.

Editor Floral Department:
note what you say about lawns and
will contribute my mite by saying that,
for South Florida, Bermuda grass comes
very near filing the bill The only fault
is tendency to turn brown in winter,
but that is largely Obviated by making
the ground little richer. in ammonia by
top dressing
My Bermuda lawn is entirely satisfac-
tory and would not disgrace Northern
State. About three-fOurths of an acre
around 4he house is in lawn. The ground
was never plowed. 1t was ''grubbed"
over with a Hammock hoe an inch or so
deep to clear off the wild growth and then
graded level and smooth A liberal dres-
sing of fertilizer was sOwn broadcast and
raked in, and then small roots of Bermu-
da grass were set in rows two feet apart
and one foot in the rows. The few weeds
that came up were pulled out by hand un-
til the Bermuda covered the ground.
Thenceforth it asks no favors of any kind
but something to feed upon. 1t will take
care of all intruders with ease. The sod is
so tough that loaded two-horse wagon
leaves no track upon my lawn. No road
is laid out on it; we drive wherever the
spirit moves. The harder the ground the
greener and thicker the Bermuda.
Don't you think our people are unreal
sonably hard to please? They have been
looking for Il lawn grass that will bear
grief and not burn out with the sun or
die with drouth. They wanted a grass
that would take care of itself. Well, here
comes the Bermuda grass and it fills the
bill. The hotter the sun the better it is
suited; drouth only gives it rest and
the returning rains find it ready for new
growth. 1t makes a fine, close, beautiful
lawn and binds our loose sand together in
a sod tougher than Kentucky bluegrass.
1t is easily propagated, and is in ''for
keeps" What more do we want? Up
pops somebody and says owe can't
control it. What if it shouldget into my
orange grove? Is there not danger that
il willspread and become euncontrolable?"
The very fact that people ask such ques-
tions is evidence that it is Just the grass
Florida needs. We want grass that

Preserving a Lawn.

After a lawn has been neatly leveled,
sown, and become well set in grass, the
main point is it's preservation. This isin
no way difficult, if frequent applications
of fertilizers are made and severe wear is
not allowed in particular spots fer games
or otherwise. Though fine bone is the
best to seed down with when it is har-
rowed into the soil, it is of little or no use
when sown upon the grass. Instead OF

''By st. Johns romantic river,
Orange, palms and live oaks grow,
And cast down their fair reflections
In the amber waves below.
And the moonfiower weaves around them
Her green canopy of vines,
That are starred with snow-white flowers,
When the summer moonlight shines
Going southwark where gr Ell islets
In his warm embraces lie;
Scarlet, white and pink hibiscus
Bloom beneath the sunny sky;
And the fragrant white pancratiums
Ope their chalices like stars,
While innumerable crinums
Populate the sandy bars.
Moss-veiled trees like nuns enshrouded,
All in grey in silence stand;
Through the boughs the golden sunbeams
Drop their crosses on the sand.
Stealing through the solemn stiffness
Gentle murmurs fill the air,
Like the penitential signing
OF the holy monks at prayer.
Dark and shadOwed are the forests,
Wierd and tropic is the gloom;
All above is dreamy splendor,
All below is scent and bloom.
"Where st. Johns romantic river
Rolls in grandeur silently,
Nature plants her fairy gardens
From his sources to the sea.
