The Florida agriculturist., 1889-10-02


OUR readers are served with rare treat
this week in Mrs Stones graphic descrip-
tiOn OF the blooming of that wonderful
giant aquat1c-the Royal Water Lily.
That the plant could be thoroughly nat
uralized in the Southern States-Florida
in particular we have little doubt.
Whether the plant has ever been tried in
the South we have not yet learned. Not
only has it been grown under glass at
the North, but has been successfully
grown and lowered in the open air dur
ing the summer months.
Mr. E. D. Sturtcvant, Bordentown, N.
j., the water lily specialist, has both
plants and seed for sale, and limited
number of florists now catalogue the
seeds. In his catalogue Mr.. Sturtevant
says: "That it may be successfully grown
and fowered in the open air in this lati-
tude we have proved beyond a doubt,
having done so for several seasons past.
By this plan it is treated as tender an
nual. In winter or early spring seeds are
placed in water, kept uniformly at tenn
perature of from 800 to 9O0 After ger
minating they are potted and shifted on,
as they require it. Early in June plant
is placed in bed of very rich soil in a
tank fully exposed to the sun and which
can be artifcially heated until hot
weather sets in. 1t produces leaves six
feet across, one plant covering space
thirty feet in diameter. The flowers are
from twelve to six teen inches across. The
first night that they open they are d love
ly white and emit delicious perfume re-
sembling that of pineapples, which is
often perceptible some rods distant. The
second night the flowers have changed to
pink and have lost their perfume. In the
Southern States it may be grown with
complete success in open ponds"
AS will be seen by Mr.. Mead's commun-
icatiOn in this issue. he subjected his Vic
toria seeds to the same temperature as
that recommended by Mr.. Sturtevant,
yet his failure was most signal
In the early summer Peter Henderson, &
Co., kindly sent us one half dozen seeds
for trial We planted them in dishes of
rich mud with about one inch depth of
water on the surface and set in the full
sunshine, but none have terminated.
However, much may depend on the fact
that the seeds had doubtless been in stock
several weeks perhaps months and
therefore could not have been very fresh.
Mrs. Stone states that the seed she saw
twas about the size and shape of small
pecan nut" The seeds sent us were only
about the size of the common black COW
pea, or common Gamma seed. ii any of
our readers know of this plant being cul-
tivated anywhere in the South, or can
give us any information on terminating
the seeds we hope to hear from them.

ing it would change to pink, at about
midday it would close up and then open
again in about two hours; it would then
be dull red in color, and close up again
at half past five and begin to settle down
under the water, where it would ripen it's
seed. We were shown a seed that had been
taken ripe from the water. 1t was about
the size and shape of small pecan nut.
Mr.. Whampoa said the seed would lie
dormant in muddy water until about
February and March, when itwould show
signs of terminating, and would grow to
a size that could be placed in pond
about the middle of May. The water
should never cover the leaves, which in
this plant measured eight feet, six inches
in diameter. Some of these enormous
pads W tn stems still attached had been
drawn out of the water because it's surface
had become too crowded with them. One
of these leaf stems measured thirty feet
from the poinG where it had been severed
from the root to it's intersection on the
under side centre of this enormous circu-
lar leaf which lies fat on the water, with
an edging turned up all around it of
about four inches in depth, like the edge
of tea tray.
1t is now needless to relate it's discovery
on the Amazon by an English consul re-
siding at Rio de Janeiro, who carried it
with him to England, and it was there
first cultivated at the Kew gardens, and
how the Queen knighted him when she
saw this royal plant. This consul was
afterwards sent to Bankok in Siam.
"Now," said Mr.. Whampoa, Gas soon
as heard this gentleman was at Bankok
[ determined to have a plant, and last
March sent my shipa thousand miles to
that place and obtained one plant. 1t
was brought from there in a large tub
prepared for it. 1t arrived in good order.
/ excavated a pond forty by sixty feet in
diameter and four to six feet in depth,
and placed the plant in the center of it
about the middle of May. 1t grew won
derfully, and soon found that there was
not room enough for all the leaves; they
crowded and spoiled each others looks.
| drew off the water and enlarged the
pond, then carefully letting it on again
SO the leaves would float and none be
submerged. 1t continued growing and
blooming, and have had to make room
since the enlargement by cutting out some
of the leaves, as you see there on the
bank-those just measured. The lily has
been in this pond about four months; it
is now the latter part OF August, and my
lily has bloomed seventeen times, and has
not finished her work yet"

pointing to different part of his garden,

China to obtain, but it is not as grand as

The question is this, would not this lily

The Blooming of the Royal Water Lily
BY MRS. ISAAC STONE.


While residing inthe Straits of Malacca,
East India, we one day received the fol-
lowing kind note from millionaire Chi
nese gentleman, merchant of Singapore:
''Will Mr.. and Mrs - kindly drive out
to my place on SerangoOn road; shall
have Victoria Regia bloom this after
noon at half past five.
(Signed) WHAMPoA."
Rest assured that a thankful accept
ance was returned, and as the hours of
eager waiting for the time to pass wore on,
we determined to be a little ahead of that
time for two reasons. First, we thought
that it could scarcely be known at what
minute plant would bloom, not thinking
that it went by chronometer time and [
for one feared to miss the sight. Then, as
a second attraction, there was the eXten-
grounds, containing many acres Cigar
dens laid out in oriental style, with trees,
shrubs and plants from all parts of the
Eastern world There we're artificial lakes
for aquatic plants and long stretches of
brick walled canals, in which grew and
bloomed the Sacred Lotus, which were
spanned by quaint Chinese bridges.
In curious grottoes, built of soap stone
from China, bloomed rare and beautiful
orchids that would cost more than their
weight in gold in London, Amsterdam or
New York. Turning some corner or
emerging from a shaded avenue one would
come upon huge towering vase, whose
foundation was of wire and iron, and over
which fine evergreen vine had long been
growing, kept SO closely clipped that
every outline of the shape of the vase was
perfect. S )metimes it was Chinese Junk,
or boat by canal or lake, formed in the
same way as the vase and kept as care
fully clipped in outline.
When we arrived Mr.. Whampoa met us
at the gate of his grounds and remarked:
'You are a half hour before the time for
the bud to open; it has not quite reached
the surface of the water, so come in and
take stroll through the garden; | have
a new plant to show you" This plant
was the Snake Cactus, which he had just
obtained. While he was showing us
some orchids in bloom, among which were
the White Dove and that wonderful
Butterfly Orchid, with it's surprising re-
semblance, my husband asked excitedly,
"Whatis this sudden perfume perceive?"
ooh, my bud my bud" answered Mr.
Whampoa; lit is opening, [ had forgot
ten it,"
Thereupon both gentlemen started on
run for the pond, or tank as he called
it, and left me to follow as best l could.
However, was not long in getting over
the intervening rods to the pond, and was
standing beside them on little bridge
that had been built out into it's centre, so
one could look directly down on the fow-
er while opening.
Here we watched it's two hundred pet
ais open and straighten and take their
place in the great flower, like the slow
turning of the leaves of book, and this
in day light. We look at the time-it is
just half past five.
When fully open the flower was white,

and industrial center, on the River
Clyde. Two hundred years ago, as
we read it, Glasgow was a pleasant
town of four streets and ten vessels

advantage of being modern, for its
growth is really the work of the past
century, and it is remarkable alike

The Chicago lines announces to
the world that pineapple juice has
been found to be q specific for
diphtheria. 1t is said that the
negroes of the South have used it for
years and rarely lose case. A
couple Of prominent Chicago men
have tired it in bad cases in their
families, and it has cured every one.
Simply get ripe pineapple, squeeze
out the juice and let the patient
swallow it. Repeat the dose at inter
walls until membrane is all gone.
The juice is of so pupgent nature
that it will cut out the diphtheric
MUCOUS. The remedy is 30 simple
and easy to take that it is worth
trying, anyhow.
