Plumbago Capensis.

My first experience with this most sat-
isfactory plant occurred during the past
year. Procuring specimen in spring or
early summer, | submitted it to that sys-
tematic abuse which all my plants, ire
spective of age or condition, receive and
instead of bedding it out installed it in
to small pot and kept it in the bay win
dow during the heated term 1t soon be-
gan to put forth flowers, and with the ex-
ception OF short period of rest, think
the plant was in bloom continuously until
October, or thereabout, and that, too,
without even the benediction of shower
The result of my treatment leads me to
put implicit faith in the suitability of this
bright and pretty shrub, for the foliageis
also satisfactory for culture in the dry air
of the living room, having given it's endur-
ance very severe test It's immunity
from red spider should induce those to add
it to their collections who cannot shower
their plants frequently, for there are many
women who are very fond of flowers and
yet are unable to make procession of
themselves for the space of an hour or
two every day, carrying their beloved
plants to the sink or out of doors to
drench them with water, and then bring
them back to reinstate them in their
places. To such people can conscien-
tiously recommend the Plumbago Capen-
sis as being in every way suited to their
needs, combining, as it does, ease of cult
ure with beauty and abundanceof bloom.
-Vick's Magazine.
Tour first personal experience with this
planU also occurred during the past year,
and as the above writer can recommend
it as pot plant at the North SO can we
as an outdoor shrub in South Florida.
About one year ago we planted out
small specimen and in spite of poor soil,
drouth and cold it has not only held it's
own but has bloomed profusely. To-day,
though small plant less than foot in
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-29

growth made every twenty-four hours
was to us anever failing source of wonder.
Soon they reached the very top of the
tallest pole, had branched out in every
direction, but still they showed no signs
of pausing in their mad career. They
sighed for more poles to conquer, but as
they we're not to be had, they contented
themselves with crossing and recrOssing
from the tops of the two rows of poles
until perfect canopy was formed,
through which the sun could not pene-
trate and under which a person could
walk without STOPPING. Still they kept
on growing, each day heaping additional
weight onto their grOaning supports un-
til at last, despite numerous props, every
pole lay prostrate on the ground. Did
they stop growing then? Not bit of it.
Then ran riot over the ground in all di-
rections, setting fruit at least three rods
away from the hills Some of the vines
fastened on to good sized China-berry
tree, mounted to the very top and then
falling down in every direction so COM
pletely covering the tree that nota branch
or leaf of it could be distinguished. The
flowers of the gourd are ebrightyellow and
the shape and size of silver dollar In
early morning that tree presented a mar
velous sight-studded all over with an
almost innumerable number of cleaning
yellow disks. When finally the vines died
and dropped their luxuriant leaves the
tree resembled the rigging of a small ship
with numerous lines andcables running in
all directions, while from every limb hung
gourds of various sizes, the largest being
nearly three feet long and eight or ten
inches in circumference.
When thoroughly ripe the seeds can be
easily shaken out of the end, the outer
covering peels off readily and the sponge
is ready for use.

height, it holds dozen or more large
tresses of it's exquisite flowers, which are
of matchless shade of delicate pale blue.
After blooming it should be cut back Sc
verely, as the flowers are produced on the
shoots of thecurrent year. 1t is a native
of the Cape of Good Hope, and at the
North is frequently trained up the pillars
and rafters of conservatories and green
houses, thus producing agrand spectacle.

Vegetable Sponge, or Dish Gourd.

This curious and useful plant is known
under variety of common names, all of
them more or less descriptive, but some of
them not particularly pleasing. 1t has
been proposed calling it by it's Japanese
name, Hechima pronounced Hetch-i-
mah), but whatever that may mean we
prefer our own language, and think Vege-
table Sponge as appropriate and more
pleasing than any of the common names
we have heard applied to the plant and
it's fruits. Botanically it is known as
Luffa acutangula, and is native of trop-
ical Africa and probably of India as WELL
The generic name is from Louff, the Arb
ic name of L. Egyptiaca, while the speci-
f1c name refers to the acute angled leaves.
The genus comprises about one half dozen
species, one of them being Indigenous to
America, but the species under considera-
tiOn has attracted the most attention and
is the one best known.
In the countries where this plant grows
spontaneously the natives have long used
the interior of the fruits as scrubbing
brushes and strainers, and in the South
they have been grown some years as an
ornamental vine, and also for the useful
and curious fruits. But of late years they
have been figuring as an article of COM
merce, and it now appears as though their
economic value may become great. This
is said to have been brought about by a
mere accident. A consignment Of the
"sponges" was received, but no oneknew

THE USE OF FLOWERS.

God might have made the earth bring forth
Enough for great and small;
The oak tree and the cedar tree,
Without a flower at all.
We might have had enough, enough
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine and toll,
And yet have had no flowers.
Then wherefore, wherefore, were they made,
And died with rainbow light,
All fashioned with supremest grace.
Upspringing day and night
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no man passes by?
Our outward life requires them not,
Then wherefore had they birth?-
To minister delight to man,
To beautify the earth!
To comfort man, to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim,
For who so careth for the flowers,
Will care much more for him.
