Rose Insects.

The insects most harmful to roses are
the green fly, red spider, rose hopper or
thrips, rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though combating these insects involves
some little trouble, yet success will at
tend all persistent efforts.
The green fly, the thrips and the black
slug can all be kept under by Swinging
the plants with solution of whale oil
soap. One pound of soap is sufficient for
eight gallons of water. Throw the
water in a fine spray on the under as
well as the upper sides of the leaves. A
syringe with bent nozzle is the best
instrument with which to apply the liq-
uid to the lower sides of the leaves.
The red spider can be held in check by
Swinging the leaves with clear water; in
dry times this should be done every day.
If therose bug, Melolontha subspinosa,
makes it's appearance, which is not very
often; it can be destroyed by the insect
exterminator.-Vick's Magazine.

cover the whole side of house. making
it white with bloom in the early morning
The roots very much resemble sweet po-

praise bestowed upon il. 1t certainly has
no superior. Such profusion of bloom

Balsam Pear, or Apple, Liniment

In the Florida Dispatch of August 27,
1888, appeared an inquiry for making
medicine from the fruits of the above
plants. which elected the following inter-
esting reply from Mr.. r. D. Hoyt, of Bay
View, Fla:
In reply to the inquiry by d. G. E., in
the last issue of the Dispatch, who wishes
to know how to prepare Balsam Appleor
Balsam Pear (Momordica Balsamina), we
have used a liniment made from this fruit
for many years, and find it Invaluable for
cuts, bruises and sprains, and it is equally
useful for CALLED shoulders or backs on
horses.
The preparation is simple Allow the
fruit to remain on the vine until fully ripe
when it will burst open; then break up in
to pieces the size of half a dollar, place
them in a large mouthed bottle filing it
two-thirds full; then fill up with alcohol
1T will be ready for use in few days.
Simply bathing the parts with the liquid
is sufficient in simple bruises or sprains,
but in case of cuts or wounds, when
bandage is necessary, piece of the fruit
may be removed from the bottle and
bound on, keeping it wet with the LIQUID.
1t is pity that the medicinal proper
ties of the plants are not better known;
if they were they would be more generally
cultivated. They are perfectly at home
in Florida, and in addition are among
the handsomest of our annual climbers.
We have two new varieties this season,
one from India and the other from South
Africa.

Mr.. D. 1. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave. KY,
adds like testimony, saying He positively

for Electric Bitters.

THE Balsam Pear is, as Mr.. Ellsworth
sUrmises, a member of the gourd family,
and belongs to the genus Momordica, of
which there are about twenty-six species
of annual or perennial climbers. They are
mostly natives of Africa, but a few are
found scattered over the tropical por-
tiOns of the globe. The flowers are white,
yellow or straw color, large or small, and
of separate sexes, both of which are borne
on the same or different plants. NJ Bal
saminia is the ''Balsam Apple a native
of Australia, Tropical Asia and Africa
and was introduced in 1868. It's orange
cOlOred fruits are roundish-ovate, and at
tenuated at both ends. M Charantia is
the "Balsam Pear" and it's native habi-
tat is India, Malaga, China and tropical
Africa, and was introduced in 171O
1t bears oblong, acuminated, copper
colored or red fruits, and is allied
to M. Balsamina, but very distinct and
larger in all it's pal ts. The directions for
preparing a liniment from the fruits of
these vines will prove interesting and of
value to those who have them growing.
Perhaps Mr.. Hoyt will consent to tell us
about the two new varieties which he had
growing last season.

The AristoIochia Sipho (Dutchman's
Plpe) is an exceedingly beautiful vine and
we are glad to learn of it's doing well in
this State. From our experience with it
we were afraid it would not thrive here.
One year ago last winter we planted two
roots OF it-one at the southeast corner
the house and the other at the foot of a
live oak tree. The one at the corner of
the house died in year, while the other
barely lives. We would be glad to learn
if they require any special care.

Editor Floral Department:

EuIGOF TIOISG DepdTOmeHI'
am not much given to growing annu-
ais, but when the Dish Rag, or Sponge,
Gourd came under my observation it APP
peared to possess so many really merito-
rious points that decided to give it
trial, and, may say, was both astonish-
ed and pleased at the results. But this is
not for the purpose of sounding the
praises of the Sponge Gourd; it has al
ready been properly handled in your col
umns. Some time since therecame under
my notice plant bearing the misnomer
OF "Balsam Pear" and which l call
species of gourd. A plant, which for strik-
ing Oddity, do not remember ever hav-
ing seen it's equal. In appearance the fo-
liage is quite similar to that of the Dish
Rag Gourd, as is also the habit of growth,
though perhaps not quite so luxuriant as
that of the first named.
The fruit, which is produced somewhat
sparingly, is from eight to twelve inches
in length, the skin very rough Or warty.
Unlike any other species with which / am
acquainted, the fruit does not harden as
it attains maturity. While green the
color is green, and as it approaches ma
turity changes to beautiful golden yell
low, presenting a most vivid contrast
with the dense green foliage. The climax
of Oddity and grotesqueness is certainly
reached when, after remaining perfect on
ly two or three days, the fruit commences
at the lower end to split, continuing until
the stem is reaehed-the sides laying
back much after the manner of the spathe
of a Gala Lily bloom. The seeds, the
vessels of which are now fully disclosed,
are inclosed in a fieshy covering of a most
brilliant red color, which greatly height
ems the contrast. The seed vessels are
considered edible, and are eaten by many
ais the fruit of the Prickly Pear.
This species is not such an abundant
producer of seed as it's sister, many of the
seed vessels being sterile and some of the
fruits entirely so.
Should be glad to hear from any one in
Florida who has grown this plant, and
their experience with it,

BLAD APPLE is another common name
OF the Barbados Gooseberry, which is
known botanically as Pereskia Aculeata
The Poreskias are interesting from the
fact that they are the only section of the
great cactus family having true leaves
They are very near to the Opuntias
(Prickley Pears) and serve as a connect
ing link between most curious and won
derful family of plants, which we can east
ly imagine only existed prior to the plant
life OF the present period, and the more
common orders of vegetable growth In
the old world p Aculeata is employed
very extensively as stock on which to

brella-like heads are formed, which, when
of large size and in full bloom, are mag

''Silk Vine''-becauset the seeds are covered
with silky brown wool-is one of the
strongest and most rapid growers of the
Ipomea family. The foliage and flowers
are borne in great profusion, and are
very useful where shade is required. The
root becomes immensely large, weighing
forty to fifty pounds.
The Ipom9a Learii is nearly identical
with the Ipomea Bonanox infoliage, vine,
habit and size of flower, which is dark
blue in color and of satiny texture. There
is no lovelier sight than a porch complete
ly draped with the vine, and full of bloom
in the early morning -gilded by the sun
shine of the rising day. 1t is a perennial,
and most desirable climber and should
adorn every home in South Florida
The Thunbergia is a tender perennial,
native of South Africa. 1t starts slowly,
and is a weak looking vine at first, but
increases in size and beauty from year to
year until it covers everything in reach
with it's peculiar vine and variable flow
ers-orange with black throat, white with
black throat, orange with white throat,
and pure white, the finest of them all.
T. Grandifora and T. Fragrans are lar
ger and very costly kinds. Thelatteris not
much finer than the ordinary white Thun-
bergia. The seeds SOW themselves freely,
and sport in awonderful manner. 1t is at
home with us, growing more i'll the
autumn than at other seasons, and flow
ering through the winter.
The Honeysuckles-those early friends
of our childhoOd-with their deliciOusly
scented flowers and abundance of vine
and leaf will always be popular. The new
and improved kinds will always be Joy
to their lovers, and the older sorts, that
have among them some very fine varie-
ties-the white, coral and evergreen and
twilight hOneysuckles, the latter fragrant
only after the evening dews fall, when it
scents the air afar with the delightful
odor of cloves. The newer kinds bloom
more freely, some of them almost perpet-
ually, and are of the easiest culture
Whether by columned hall or cottage
door, they are "things of beauty" and
should be grown by every lover OF vines.
The Aristolochia Sipho is one of the
best hardy perennial vines for covering
arches, doorways and arbors. 1t speedily
covers these with it's great leaves and
vines and curious flowers. growing from
thirty to forty feet in the short seasons of
the states north of us. Here, where it is
little checked by our mild winters, it does
far more in the way of making shade.
1t is rarely seen in any collection of plants
in this State, but is growing well in the
localities where it has has been planted,
and deservesa place among ourfavorites.
The Barbados Gooseberry, often called
Surinam Gooseberry, Spanish Gooseber-
ry and Lemon Vine, is a remarkable
plant, inasmuch as it is not only woody
vine, but a cactus with real leaves and
large thorns on the older portion of the
wood. The young shoots are smooth
and tender, growing very fast, soon
climbing to the tops of porches, covering
arbors, roofs, etc. 1t has great quantities
of leaves and forms a dense green shade.
