To the Children.

This week we publish letter from one
who styles herself "Auntie," which we
feel certain cannot fail to interest our
young readers very much; and we sin
cerely hope the interesting story she.tells
may stimulate many little boys and girls
to cultivate flowers, and thus assist in
helping to make home beautiful. Now
we have little story to tell, and al
though it has sad side to it, it shows
how strong is the love for the beautiful in
some natures, and that such q love will
often assert itself, and bear fruit, under
the most adverse conditions.
Z The scene of the story is also away up
in the State of Maine, on little rocky,
sterile farm. The owner possessed an un
fortunate appetite for strong DRINK,
which, coupled with an unhappy DISPOSE
ton, made the life of his poor wife and
little ones far from pleasant and happy.
Calling there, several years ago, the
children asked us to look at their flower
garden, and, to our surprise, led us for
some distance through the woods to the
edge of pasture, where, along beside the

We can most heartily commend all
TSister" says concerning the Thunbergia.
Last March we planted a packet of seed
OF the mixed varieties, and to say that
we were surprised and delighted with the
results is putting it very mildly; while to
say that the vines from those seeds have
yielded us thousands and thousands of
beautiful flowers, is no exaggeration
They were furnished slender poles to
climb on, and these they soon trans
formed into ropes of living green, and
beautiful flowers, running from pure
white through different shades of lemon
yellow to orange, both with and without
brown eyes.
For training about porches and piazzas
it is most admirable, and we know Of
nothing else which will furnish such q
continuity of bloom. We won't attempt
to guess how long q Thunbergia vine,
uniniured by FROST, would continue to
grow and bloom; we confess we don't
know, but perhaps some of our readers
can inform if the plant ever dies q nat
ural death, and if it ever gets too old to
be ornamental. To all who have not
grown it we would say, do not fail to
plant it this season. Our word for it, it
will please you.

fence, they had transplanted several spe-
cies of wild flowers, and few cultivated
ones given them by their grandmother, q
very poor woman, but one of the most
ardent fower-lovers we ever met, and one
OF the truest friends we ever possessed, or
ever expect to. Naturally we we're con
siderably puzzled as to why they should
select such situation, and SO far from
the house, for their garden, and on in
quiring the reason they said their father
would not let them have any land or cul-
tlvate flowers near the house. And so
they had stolen off into the woods and
made that little garden where they could
indulge, to limited extent, their love for
the beautiful
The father has since died. and those
same children, together with their fragile
mother, are bravely struggling to wrest
q living from that rocky little farm.
Their clothes are poor and scanty, and
their fare too, [ am afraid they are I'M
educated, their hands hard and rough,
but with that love for the beautiful flow

the height OF six or seven feet. 1t is
very hardy species, resisting severe cold
unframed.
Artistically arranged, these -four species
of palms would go great way towards
identifying the thousands Of Deserts of
Sahara scattered all over the State,
called by the pseudonym yards.
There is plant growing plentifully in
the lower part of this State, in Dade
county particularly, which is most ap
propriate and beautiful to associate with
row-root (Zamia integrifolia)-a true
Cycad, something between palm and q
fern, but is neither. The leaves are OF q
beautiful, dark, shining green, pinnate
and palm-like, but coiled in the bud like
ferns. 1t bears a strong resemblance to
the beautiful Sage Palm (Cycas revolu-
ta), but does not form a trunk, produc-
ing it's leaves from root which is not
unlike sweet potato or long brown beet.
The f1Ower-head resembles a pine-cOne in
shape, is velvety and of rich maroon
color. When ripe it bursts, exhibiting
seeds about the size of acorns, smooth
and glossy, and of q rich yellow color,
changing to red. AS it is low growing, q
tub or barrel could be turned over it in
case OF freeze, and thus preclude all
possibility of it's leaves being cut down.

Thunbergia.
Editor Floral Department:

Editor Floral Department.
From the many handsome climbers
particularly adapted to Florida's sunny
cline we take pleasure in selecting the
beautiful annual Thunbergia. 1t is the
most rampant, vigorous grower, and
does not seem at all particular as to soil,
growing very contentedly and blooming
freely in quite ordinary soil, though the
planter will be amply repaid for any ex-
ira pains taken in planting. The seed
should be put in as soon as all danger Of
frost is past, and i'll a month or six weeks
from time of planting the bloom begins
to appear, and once the plant is well un-
der way it will be a perfect mass of bloom
until Jack Frost gets in his silent but
deadly work. The plant is available for
decoration in a great variety of ways.
Unsightly stumps may be covered and
transformed into perfect mounds of
beauty. For a screen for the piazza,
against the burning rays of the sun, it is
perfect; or for a covering for an arbor or
summer-house it is splendidiy adapted.
AS to species | have no choice. "Mixed
colOrs" comprises them all and gives a
good variety, some yellow with black
throats, white with black throats, yellow
with white throats, etc. The bloom is
different from anything can think Of
has small, short tube, and the petals,
which are connected, lie out perfectly fiat
when the bloom is open. Plant it and it
will give you great satisfaction.

An Open Letter to the Little Folks.

Editor Floral Department.
How glad | am that the children have
q chance through this department to
help develop the love for Horticulture
which may lie dormant, awaiting for
something to interest them and awaken
that love! hope every young reader of
this department. will write to the editor,
as requested, and get the flower seeds
promised; and then, above all, plant and
tend them, watching them develop, first
the tiny leaf, then the flOWer-stalks, and,
oh Joy! beautiful flower has burst into
bloom, and all from your very own care
and attention. Now what is there that
will repay us so well? [ want to ask the
children if that is n t ample reward for the
few leisure moments that you have de-
voted to your little garden? How do
you know, little folks, but you may make
q start, from the interest you will mani
fest in this, that will make you noted
hOrticulturists when grown to men and
women?
L am going to tell you a story of a lit
tie boy who began when out at play to
develop lOveforfoWers which increased
until now he is one of the noted florists of
New York State.
Way up in Maine, where the snow COW
ers the ground during the winter months,
making such nice sleighing for the little
folks, there lived q family on one of the
farms with big rocks and lodges, nestled
among the high hills and woods mot as
many woods as in Florida, thought The
rocks and lodges made such nice play
grounds for the little boys and girls. But
this little boy did not play with his little
brothers and sisters making mud pies,
etc, but would go by himself to some of
the big lodges and dig up the little trees
and flowers, picking up the nuts that
would fall from the large oak and beech
trees, planting them in a little garden he
made at the foot of the rock, laying out
little beds, filing themwith ferns from the
woods and many wild flowers And let
me tell you, my little friends, there are
not such nice flowers in Maine as in Flor
ida, not SO much to encourage one to
cultivate flowers, as the cold winters
freeze them down SO often. But this little
fellow had good courage, and so he kept
on until he got old enough to tend gar
den at the house, which he kept in nice
order; in the fall gathering the seeds and
bulbs, wrapping them in neat packages,
labelling each one ready for future USE
After he had collected a supply of each of
the varieties which his little garden af-
forded, he made little catalogue of neat
white paper, writing the name and de
scription Of each, also cultivation re-
quired for each. Many of the neighbors
would purchase Of this young florist,
which encouraged him very much. In
this way he was able to get change to
purchase new varieties and fresh stock;
and in this small way q florist started a
business without capital.
Now what little boy can't do that

pearance to the surroundings, which is
both effective and charming. OF the eight
or ten species native of this State four
are perfectly hardy throughout it's length
and breadth, and are easily procured in
almost any neighborhood.
OF course thelordly Cabbage Palmetto
(Sabal palmetto) must be ranked first
and foremost, not only on account of it's
distinctive appearance, but from well
known historical associations and it's
utilitarian value. He who possesses
well established specimen of this noble
palm may well view it with commendable
pride, for he is the proud owner of one of
the noblest creations of the whole vege-
table kingdom.
According to the late p. W. Reasoner.
very small palms or very large ones, with
considerable trunk, stand transplanting
better than medium sized ones, as with
the small ones all of the roots can be
taken up without sacrificing any of the
roOtlets, while with the large tree the
trunk seems to sustain the life of the tree
while it is forming new roots. Therefore
in transplanting large Cabbage Palmet-
tos no attempt should be made to save
the roots-on the contrary they may be
cut off close to the trunk, the tree set in
deep hole, filed up with muck, well wa
tered, and tramped down. The rainy sea-
son seems to be most universally recon-,
mended for transplanting palms.
We wonder how many noses will go up
in the cir when we say, give the Saw or
Scrub Palmetto (Serenoa serrulata) a
place inyour yard. We know it is pest
(so-called), and brings up visions of
grubbing-hoes and aching backs, but who
has not frequently run across isolated
clumps OF it that were perfect marvels of
symmetrical beauty-if only it were not
the detested, ostracized Scrub Palmetto.
Then in the hammocks it frequently as
sumes an upright form and then becomes

forms low trunk composed of obGque
fibers interviewer with numerous slender,
keenly-pointed brown spines, or needles,
which are about fifteen inches long, and
are thought to be ga wise provision of
nature to preserve from harm the flower

probably be eaten by animals" The
beautiful leaves, deeply slit into narrow
ribbons, are green above, silvery- gray
beneath, and borne on long, slender leaf
stems Though naturally growing in
very moist soil, it does well transplanted
to high, dry situations.
Our fourth hardy species is the Dwarf
Palmetto (Sabal AdansoniD, also found
naturally on low ground. The short
stem is entirely underground and very
slow growing. The dark, rich green
leaves reach q height OF from two to six
feet, the leaf-stems differing from those of
