Editor Floral Department.:
In the Floral Department. OF the AGRI :
of August 18th there is a pleas
ing article. entitled, "Vine Canopy for
Doors and Windows" No where can q
shaded window or door be appreciated
more than in Florida, and the plan will
surely add beauty and, what is of far
more Importance, comfort for many years
to come.
However, in this section of Florida only
one OF the plants given in the article is of
much value. The others are bare and un-
slightly during the winter Several of the
beautiful CIematis have been tried, but
none Of them have done well. The Ivy
makes good shade in summer, and is
beautiful in the fall, lending rich coloring
to the landscape when dressed in it's
"autunnal hues."
The HOneysucklesn need no recommends
ton. They are favorites everywhere.
There is vine just suited to the pur-
pose, and is we'll worthy Of the praise the
floral catalogues have bestowed upon it.
1t is the Antigonon Leptopus. 1t is an
acquisition from our neighbor Mexico. 1t
is especially desirable when beauty and
little fragrance is to be considered. The
one in question was bought from the In
nisfallen Nursery, OF Springfield, Ohio, but
can be had at almost every nursery.
When itcame it was not much larger than
a darning needle and looked sickly.
A good place was given it in the south
west angle of two porches, protected from
the north and west winds. For several
months it stood still; suddenly it began
to grow, and very rapidly. The leaves re-
semble in texture that of the grape. The
ends of the blossom stems bear tendrils,
which help it to festoon itself gracefully
1t bears a profusion of rose colored flow
ers, in racimes two feet or more long.
Each short stem is covered with small
blossoms. Those near the branch are
largest, and the size grows less until they
end in tiny little bud where the tendril
begins. This vine has grown thirty feet
this summer, and still persists In stretch
ing itself as fast as possible toward the
rope given to t-blossoming at the end
of every growth, acting as if it were show
ing it's thankfulness for a support by Law
ishing it's beauties recklessly. All summer
if has b1OOmed
In this section it is hardy. 1t is raised
from seed and layering, but the latter
mode has not been very successful. The
soil in which it grows is ordinary pine
land, sandy soil with yellow sub-soil. The
hole was filled with decomposed muck
we'll worked in. Occasionally it has had
a littlecotton seed meal. 1t is so situated
that it receives water from the kitchen
and some soapsuds. To be known is to
be appreciated. M.

Alcohol as "A Beyeraeo.

READING, Dec. 1S.-At q meeting OF
the Druggists Association of this city the
best plan to stop the indiscriminate sale
OF alcohol was discussed. Information
was placed before the meeting that out
side business men were In the habit of
selling alcohol without any inquiry as to
the uses to which 1t was likely to be put.
The result was that It was bought by
HunRarians and other foreigners who, by
dilutirg II with water and fats, used 1t as
u beverage and INDUCED In drunken
orgies. IL was stated at the meeting that
none OF the druggists were selling alcohol
without prescriptions, and they thought
there should be some regulation by means
of which 1t shou be sold only for leglti.
mate uses. A great many Of the rows
which disturb the peace among some OF
the more ignorant Huugarians and Po,es
are attributable to the use OF alcohol,
which they sometimes drink In raw
state, and at other times mix with beer
and flavor with dried apples, making a
tippie which CAUSES them to be very
Quarrelsome.

In June, 1881, Joseph Conroy OF this city

five children and their Issue, the former
to receive the interest only. Some time
