An Ivy Screen
Manatee County, Fla.

The old Celtic word for cord is hedra,
hence the generic name of the true Ivies,
in allusion to their cord-like stems. The
most common species is the Hedra helix,
native of various parts of Britain, and
from which many varieties have been pro-
duced. Old ruins of castles and churches,
as well as the sacred temples of a later
day, are often half concealed by the deep
green leaves OF Ivy. In our climate these
plants do not succeed as we'll in the open
air as in some portions of Europe; still,
planted in half shady position on the
north side of the WALL the hardy species
will thrive most luxuriantly, as may be
seen by examining some OF the old speci-
mems in our Eastern cities.
The Ivies are especially valuable for
covering rock-work; either natural or
artificial, particularly when it is located
in cool, shady place, where few other
plants will thrive Within the past few
years our florists have paid far more at
tention to the cultivation of Ivy than
formerly, and great numbers OF plants
are sold every year for hanging baskets
and similar ornaments. Among the many
fine climbers grown ashouse plants, there
are few that succeed as well as the hardy
Tvies, for they require very little care, not
being very sensitive to cold, and thrive

Yellow Jessamine and Cross-Vine.

Yellow Jessamine and Cross-Vine.
Editor Floral Department
In March issue of the AGRICULTURE
notice in your ''Native Flowers Worthy
of Cultivation" you speak in glowing
terms of the Yellow Jessamine and Cross
Vine, and wish to fully endorse the senti-
ments you express. To my mind we may
go a long way without finding two other
plants possessing as many merits as these
two.
The unusually wet winter we have just
experienced seems to have caused the
Jessamine to bloom much earlier than
usual, and has, l think, greatly pro-
longed the period of blooming. / saw
the first blooms December 8th, and again
found them as late as April 9Th, almost
five months. Although the blooming
period of the Cross-Vine is not so pro-
longed, it is almost equal to the Jessa-
mine in amount of bloom. A short dis
tance from the house is an old tree, on
which is growing one of these vines; and
such a sight is not often beheld. So full
of bloom is the plant that where it has
attached itself to the wood the tree is
completely hidden-a solid blaze of color.
Surely no plant is more "worthy of cultl-
vation." AMATEUR.

moment longer than possible, and it is
best not to lift the bulbs oftener than
once in three or four years. They cannot
be lifted and kept dry as are Hyacinths,
Narcissus, Gladiolas, etc., and exposing
the bulbs to the air is positive injury to
them. A well drained position, for most
species, is necessary, and in this State we
believe heavy mulch would prove most
beneficial, and doubtless absolutely neces-
sary TO the successful growth OF many
kinds. We think our able contributor,
Mrs. Jennie S. Perkins, can give our read
ers some interesting and valuable points
on Lily culture, as we are aware she has
successfully fowered several species.

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT
Lilies.

AS Roses and Geraniums have been the
subjects of discussion for some weeks,
would like to hear from the correspon-
dents and friends of the Floral Depart
ment in regard to Lilies and bulbous
plants as grown in Florida.
If by any means they can be cultivated
and grown successfully here in this warm
climate, would like to know when to
plant the bulbs and how to care for them
after blooming.
Four years ago purchased from North
ern florists twenty-five. bulbs of different
varieties OF Lilies, set them as directed in
''Childs Guide to Lily Culture. in nicely
prepared bed in the open ground, and
waited the result with eager hopes and
bright anticipations for brilliant show
ing of that beautiful flower in it's various
colorings, from the Golden Spangled Lily
of Japan, the Easter, etc., to the minia-
ture TennfoEum. had not long to wait,
for the warm, moist atmosphere of our
climate soon brought them to the sur
face, to my great delight.
The Easter and Tennfolium were u sue
cess, both in growth and bloom, the pure
white of one and intense scarlet of the
other made beautiful picture. Most of
the others budded and blighted.
At the close of the season, after the
tops had died down, dug for the bulbs
to lift, but could not find them, with
the exception of the Easter, which |
transplanted, and it has never made
it's appearance. l then tried the box
plan with several bulbs procured
the following autumn, with a like result.
Now, if anyone has had any experience
with Lilies in South Florida, would like
to know all the points necessary to sue
cess in the culture of this beautiful plant.

The Florida agriculturist., 1889-04-24

WE recently called the attention of a
friend to the thrift and beauty of plant
of Japan Ivy, Ampelopsis tricuspidata
a. Veitchii) which is fast clothing part
of the south side of the house with a
mantle of matchless green. ''It is beau
tiful," he replied, "but it will rot. your
house." This erroneous idea is almost
universally entertained, and the sooner it
is dispelled the better. Instead of har-
boring or generating moisture, as is popu-
larly believed, vines absorb moisture and
tend to preserve the substance to which
they attach themselves Especially is
this true of vines which produce aerial
roots or suckers by which they attach
themselves TO any. object provided for
them to climb upon. The English Ivy
produces these aerial roots the entire
length of it's branches, and these enter
the solid masonry of brick orstone build
ings, or the bark of trees, and after it has
become thus established, if severed from
all connection with the ground, the plant
will continue to flourish and grow. 1t
has been long and popularity believed that
this plant was conducive of dampness
and decay but recent observations and
experiments have entirely disproved it.

[Mr. Roberts will please accept our
thanks for the beautiful Rose buds, which

tion. The Moss Rose buds were beauti-
full, and in remarkably fine condition !;
we trust they may reach Mr.. Mott safely

better in shade than when exposed to the
direct rays of the sun.
The Ivies are also very readily propa-
gated by cuttings made from almost any
portion of the stem, whether old or
young, and they will strikerootin almost
any kind of soil, clay, loan, peat, or
sand, although mixture of the last two
is preferable to the former. 1t must not,
however, be supposed that because Ivy
will grow in a poor soil, that it does not
prefer one that is rich; and if strong
growth is desired, generous treatment
must be given.
Many beautiful ornaments may be made
with these plants, and one of the most
unique as well as useful, is the Ivy screen.
Such screen cannot be made in a few
days, but requires time, care and patience.
Provide strong box of the length re-
quired for the screen, and fill it with silver
sand, peat or leaf mould, adding a small
quantity of soil scraped up in the barn
yard. Some old pieces of brick broken
up finely may be placed in the bottom be-
fore the soil is put in; then fill up to
within an inch of the top. Plant either
well-rooted slips or cuttings, and then
give water whenever required, but do not
keep the soil constantly soaked. When
the plants begin to grow, carefully tie
them to slender stakes until they are three
feet high, and then put up the frame for
the screen, which should be of wire,
painted green, and of any design to suit
the fancy or purse of the owner. AS the
plants grow, the small shoots may be
drawn through the meshes of wire and
interlaced, until both sides of the screen
become solid wall of "lvy green"
We know that our lady readers will
readily appreciate this hint, and know
just where to place such screen to pro-
duce the most desirable effect in d room,
as well as how to keep the leaves free
from dust, SO that they will show to the
best advantage. If solid wall of green
is considered too dark and gloomy, some
of the variegated sorts may be inter-
mingled with the plain leaved. but unless
carefully tended and watched they will
often appear sickly and wither away
Household.

ENGLISH IVY.

oh, dainty plant is the Ivy green,
That creepeth over ruins old!
OF right choice food are his meals ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
A. The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim;
And the mouldering dust that years have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Whole ages have fed and their works decayed,
The nations have scatter d been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade
From it's hale and hearty green.
The bare old plant in it's lonely days
Shall fatten upon the past;
For the stateliest building that man can raise
Is the Ivys food at last.
Creeping where time has been,
rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears wings,
And staunch old heart has he.
How closely he twineth, how tight he clings
To his friend, the high Oak Tree!
And slyly he traieth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves.
AS he ioyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mould of dead mems graves.
Creeping where grim death has been,
rare old plant is the Ivy green.

THE following lines, which were written
nearly twenty years ago by a gentleman
in Danbury, Conn.,, will doubtless be ap-
preciated by such of our readers as are
similarly afflicted:
My wife Of the dear, darling flowers is fond
AS a bee of the clover, duck of the pond,
frog of the water, snake of the grass.
The maid of her mirror, the topper his glass,
An oyster of ocean, a lawyer of fees
The youth his cigar or the rat his cheese.
If You talk about buds, the mere whispered name
Blows up conversation at once in flame.
The sight of paper of seeds, you must know,
Sets both her eyes in a rapturous glow;
And glance at bulb if the truth may be told,
Delights her far more than a nugget of gold;
A bay window or rfower-stand-mercy on mel.
Sets every thing flying in chatter and glee;
Nor would she then care, in SO glowing scale,
If the whale swallowed JONAH or Jonah the whale.
Such perfect beatitude never, dear sir,
You saw, as the flowers impart unto her.
