Floral Notes-Vines
BY MRS. JENNIE s. PERKINS.

"The heart, like tendril accustomed to cling,
Let it go where it will, cannot flourish alone;
But will lean to the nearest and'loveliest thing
Itcan twine with itself and make closely it's own
Who does not love vines, those ambi-
tiOus yet dependent creations that the
poet has beautifully likened to the affec-
tiOns?
Nature, in the plentitude of her garni-
ture, has been prodigal with the drapery
of vines, and with subtle instinct and
busy hand hath wrought her marvels by
forest, fell and stream, and in the fields
as well, where the convolvulus binds the
corn with numberless cords. provoking
the wrath of the farmer and The curiosity
of the lover of nature Who has not
been gladdened by the sight of the lovely
woodvine growing in the forest depths,
or the Apios Tuberosa riOting over the
verdure by the running brook, it's dark
purple, fragrant flowers contrasting with
the deep green of it's foliage; or beheld the
Tecoma radcans hangits banners of scar
let and green from the tops of the tallest
trees and drape an unslghtly stump with
vines until it became acolumn of emerald !;
the Yellow Jessamine embOwer a monster
live oak with it's glossy foliage; and Col
den Trumpets that swing like perfumed
censers in the soft air of a Florida winter.

of our hammocks winding byits convolu-
tions from tree to tree, forming castles,
turrets, minarets, arches and countless
fantasies in green, that were starred by a
wealth of flowers of the purest white,
opening and glittering like snow in the
moonshine of a midsummer night.
The Tpomea Pes Caprp, vulgarly called
''Sea Ivy, " is isabundant at Tarpon Springs
and other places on the Gulf Cost of this
State. 1t is usually found on the sands
near the water and also in the grounds
of the residents, and sometimes on the
fences, but always running in a perfectly
straight line; and if thousand aregrow-
ing together they all run parallel with
each other, instead of INTERVIEWING as is
the habit of most vines that have not
been trained. 1t is strong vine of quick
growth, the leaves are thick and two
lobed, the flowers purple, of the shape
and size of the common Morning Glory.
1t is well worth cultivating. and has been
successfully grown in Orlando, where it
preserved the distinctive habits thatchar-
acterized it by the sea.
The Ipom@a Sinuata is a most beauti-
full vine with it's fern like foliage and pure
white flowers with purple centres, and is
fine for arbors. 1t forms a striking feat

Gardening for the Children.

There are hundreds OF people who live
in constant association with all that is
beautiful without seeing it, simply be-
cause they have not the right power OF
appreciation. Those powers not having
been initiated in early life could not have
had any after development.
Speaking as one who knows something
of the pleasures engendered by love OF
natural objects, acquired in early life,
may say that there is no other pleasure
so elevating or lasting in it's influence.
Botany, as taught i'll the class room, is
often dry and uninteresting subject, but
take the class in the fields and lanes and
gather and dissect the flowers in their
hands and it becomes a fascinating study
AS regards the children's gardening,
each should have his or her separate plot
and a good deal OF latitude should be
given them on it's management and cult
ure, for we may often learn more from
our failures than our successes. Nothing

Lawns.


Wedoubtif thereisany one thing missed
more 10y Northerners on coming into
Florida than lawns. Houses surrounded
by yards of glaring sand are striking and
most unpleasant contrasts to the house
surrounded by a carpet of emerald green,
which does not reflect the suns rays as
does the bare sand. Some one says the
Bermuda grass makes d good lawn in
Florida; but some one suggests that it is
sere and brown during the winter. Then,
too, we have heard such accounts of it as
a pest, once it gets foothold in the soil;
that it is there to remain until the end of
time and will spread far and wide; but
only the other day some one told us it
could be kept within bounds by simply
''thus far shalt thou come and nofarther"
effect upon it.
We have read several glowing accounts
OF the ST. Augustine grass as a lawn grass
for Florida, have seen small patch of
pine land covered with it (which has a very
pleasing appearance, and had come to be-
lieve it to be just what we wanted. But
we have recently received something of a
| ''set back on the subject. About a year
ago a gentleman in Volusia county prom
ised us supply of this grass whenever
wewantedit. Recently we wrotefor it and
received the subjoined reply Can any one
suggest the cause of his grass behaving
as it has, or has any one had like expe-
rience? Must we give up our hope of
| ST. Augustine lawn on pine land soil? Let
us have general discussion on lawns and
lawn making in Florida. Will those who
have made them tell us just how they did
| it, and what kind of grass they used?
Here is the reply referred to above:
II have published two articles on lawns
and recommended the st. Augustine grass
After trial of year, thought | could
| do so safely had nice lawn But it has
unaccountably failed nearly all died out.

antly. Ii you have hammock land it may
do well. 1t grows we'll on the commons
at st. Augustine. Otherwise / think |
should plant Bermuda. Ii properly cared
for it will make a soft, fine, velvety lawn
(see Mr.. Kingsbury's, DeLand,). Mr.. K.
tells me he does not fertilize much-the
clippings decay on the ground. But he
has a constant supply of water and keeps
the sprinkler going in hot weather"

Mr.. Lewis b. Hsmen paid the Jpu nal

uaed to row out to that old pier, climb up
onto the heater pier and then @ down into
the inside
How long ago was that, Mr.. Hamlenf"
THAT was about eighty years ago 1t
vas long before the bridge fell and didn't
know but shat the channel had been filed
up WHEN the new bridge was built. The
entrance to the pier used to be on the north
side in my time
You speak about the falling Of the old
bridge. What year was that?"
II don't remember just what year it was,
but know it was Sunday just before
meeting time. Some Of the people had
crossed the bridge and others were on the
east side coming down the hill. There did
MT happen to be person on the bridge when
il fell. II was an open bridge and had rotted
badly. Then they put up another bridge and
that was burned. After that the bridge
which now stands was thrown across the
river and don't know what they will do
with that
