The February 26 and March 5 issues OF

The February 26 and March issues of
Garden and Forest New York; are two
particularly interesting numbers. The
first contains figure of the Prairie Rose
OF the Southwest, from one of Mr. Fax
on's best drawings, with a description of
it by Mr.. Serene Watson; and an illus
tration OF an Alley of Orange Treesin the
Garden of the Tuilleries, with some notes
on the planting OF the open spaces in the
city of Paris. In the same paper Prof.
Bailey discusses the principles OF grating,
and Dr. George Thurber writes in his en-
PERTAINING way of the so-called poisonous
properties of the Primrose, which has
been source of irritation to many gar
deners Garden Flowers in Midwinter,"
"Fern Notes. and Botany for Young
people" are the titles OF few more of
the articles which help to make up an at
tractive and useful number.
Among much OF interest contained in
the second is all illustration of the Great
African Aloe CA. BainesiD, with des-
cription of the same, which may reasona-
bly, be supposed to flourish in South Flo
rida, as it is one of the easiest Aloes to
cultivate, and grows where slight frosts
are not infrequent; and some lengthy
notes on the Bamboo which we consider
of sufficient interest and Importance to
the South, to produce entire.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness Hay Fever
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these dis eases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
fact, and the result of this discovery is
that 2 simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.
A pamphlet explaining this new treat
ment is sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. FL. Dixon
& Son, 337 and $50 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada. -Christian Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should
carefully read the above.

The Bamboo.

The most interesting paper In the De-
cember number of the Kew Bulletin of
miscellaneous information for horticul
tural readers is an account of the trOpi-
cal plants growing in the gardens OF the
Riviera, from the pen of our London cor
respondent, Mr.. W. Watson, who was
sent last autumn by the authorities at
Kew to examine the garden vegetation
in Southern France, for the purpose, pri-
marily, of determining whether many
plants now grown in England, in stoves
and other warm houses, might not be
treated more successfully in a more tenn
perate atmosphere. Mr.. Watson'sreport
contains most valuable information for
the gardeners of Southern California,
where the garden is not unlike that of
Provence and of the Southern Atlantic
States; and nothing but it's length pre-
vents us from reproducing it entirely.
Our quotations, however, must be con-
fined largely to Mr.. Watson's remarks
about Bamboos, plants which American
gardeners know very little aboutyet, but
which are beginning to attract considera
BILE attention both in California and in
Florida and Georgia. CATER the Palms,"
he says, "the most tropical feature in the
gardening of the Riviera is the Bamboos,
which are largely used in the composition
OF the best gardens, both public and pri-
vate. To a Northern gardener the ele-
gance and grandeur of some of these
Bamboos constitute some of the chief
charms of the Riviera. Some of the spe-
cimens are very large, as for instance
one of B. vulgaris, in Baron Vigier's gar
den at Nice, which measures forty feet
through in every direction, and is thirty
five feet high. 1t contains hundreds of
stems or canes, each three inches in di-
ameter, and straight and smooth as a
gun barrel. 1t is planted on one side of
the lawn near the house. AS fences,
screens and boundary lines the Bamboos
are frequently used, and nothing could
be better, ais they are quick growers and
evergreen. All the kinds noted were in
splendid health, and from the manner in

This plant is worth the attention of Eng
lish horticulturists on account of it's ele-
gance and hardness, and it's evergreen
character.
"B. sulphurea.-Apparently a garden
name for very handsome Bamboo, with
stems eighteen feet wide, one and half
inches in diameter, the nodes nine inches
apart, and the internodes deeply iurrow-
ed on one side. When mature the stems
are rich orange-yellow in color. There is
a fine mass o. it at Villa Valetta. 1t is
also in the Kew collection.
''B. verticillata.-Thi is probably the
Male Bamboo observation-disclosures strictus),
a common Indian species, the stems Of
which, according to Munro, are univer-
sally used as lance-staves. Thespecimens
seen were large clumps, the stems twenty
feet high, one inch in diameter, the nodes
at the base foot apart, the upper ones
bearing each crowded cluster of short
leafy branches When old the stem is
bright yellow. 1t is we'll marked, hand

"B. olescens-A beautiful Chinese
Bamboo which was introduced to the
Jardin discrimination in 1870, in the
branch of which at Hyeres fine clump
was noted. The stems are ten feet high,
threefourths of an inch in diameter,
much branched toward the top, the in
ternOdes somewhat fiattened on one side,
and striped with violet on a greenish
yellow ground. The leaves are glaucous
on the under side. Young plants ofitare

''B. viridi-glaucescens, Hort.-One of
the handsomest of cultivated Bamboos.
1t is quite hardy in England, and in
France it is one of the commOnest. 1t
grows very rapidly, has handsome foil
age, transplants easily and is a first-rate
pot plant. 1t is frequently used in France
for the establishment of entrance halls,
and is very effective. The stems of the
Riviera plants were over twenty feet high,
very slender, the nodes about a foot
apart, dark green when young, bright
yellow when mature.

Riviera till last year, when all the plants
lowered. There is a plant at Hyeres
called B. gracilis rustica, in which tho
leaves are narrow, with incurved mar
gins.
''B. Mazelii, Hort.-Fine masses at
Hyeres and at Cannes. The stems are
twenty-five feet high, bright yellow when
mature, the nodes prominent and close
together at the base, the branches loose,
| and the leaves short and twisted OH the
petiole. 1t looked suspiciously like B.

/ "B Metake (Arundinaria Japonica)
! Much used on the Riviera, where it is as
ornamental as it usually is in England.
1t is always strongest when grown near
water, although it does we'll when grown
in an ordinary border. At Kew there is
a specimen twelve feet high. According
to Munro it is known as B. mitis in the
gardens OF p arts.
''B. mitis.-A magnificent specimen on
the lawn at Villa Valleta, the Stems thir-
| ty feet high and three inches in diameter
at the base, becoming shining yellow with
age. The nodes are prominent and about
nine inches apart, the leaves short and
not dense. There is a small plant of it
at Kew, obtained last year from Laval
lees collection. 1t is said to be from
Cochin China.
''R. Phyllostachys) nigra.-A clump
of this, twenty yards through and rising
to a height of thirty feet, in the garden
of Baron Vigier at Nice, was one of the
most striking objects seen on the Ri
viera, thousands of naked, shining, black
ish purple stems rising from the lawn and
losing themselves in the mass of green
foliage above. Thissp species is quite hardy
in England, but it does not grow to it's
full height except when in q very shelter
ed situation or under glass, as at Chats
worth, where in the large conservatory it
is exceedingly handsome.
"B. quadrangularis, a very interesting
species from China, with stems fifteen feet
high by one inch in diameter, and dis
tinctly quadrangular; the nodes are
armed with decurved teeth-like spines.
! These dimensions are of clump six feet
through OH one of the lawns at Villa
Valetta. There are plants at Kew, both
outside and in the temperate house. 1t

For an account of it see an article in
Nature, VOL xxi, Q885), p. 391.
'B. QuillOi.-I cannot find any infor-
nation with regard to this plant Car
riere described a Bamboo in the Revue
| HorticOle, under the name of B. Duguilioi,
but Munro appears to have referred this
to Phyllostachys puberula, included by
him under P. Nigra. The plant known
under the above name is represented at
Hyeres by a large clump with stems
twenty-five feet high, one and a half in
ches in diameter bright yellow, with a
faint tendency to become quadrangular.
We have plant of it at Kew. It is
most elegant Bamboo.

lieve that B. scriptoria of the Riviera

Chinese B. mana. 1t has the same dense

ments are abundantly satisfied. The
finest and healthiest examples are in wet
ground. often on the edge of water. Most
of them are heavily manured annually.
''In England we have not hitherto
made the most of this beautiful family of
plants, many of which may be grown out
of-doors successfully in all the milder
parts of the country, whilst in large con-
servatories, where they would get pro
lection from cold in winter, a still greater
number will be found to thrive. That
they are much superior to many of the
plants at present nsed for such positions
must be evident to any one acquainted
with the extraordinary elegance and
grace Of a well-grown Bamboo.
"The Kew collection comprises over
fifty named sorts, a few of which are trop-
cal, whilst the bulk of them are either
quite hardy or require only the temperate
conditions supplied by the wint garden.
''The names of Bamboos are as cOnfus-
ing as are those OF garden Palms. In
one as in the other it is not only very
rarely that the plants flower under cult
alton, so that many of thenames, which
are given by nurserymen, can only be
problematical. Forgarden purposes this
would not be of much consequence, the
difficulty arising only when growers do
not agree as to what names the plants
shall bea"
"Now that so many kinds Of Bamboos
are in cultivation under favored cOndi-
tions on the Riviera, it would be worth
while to watch them, and as they flower,
get them properly determined.
cit is generally supposed that nearly
every member of the Bamboo order per-
ishes Immediately afterfowering. There
are many recorded instances of this hav-
ing occurred. But with regard to q con-
siderable number of the species the exact
Towering age has not been ascertained
Some are said to grow forty years before
Towering. Another remarkable fact is
that all the plants of one generation
flower at the same time, no matter how
different the conditions in which they
happen to be placed. | was told that all
the plants of ThamnOcalamus Falconeri
(Bambusa graciiis) of the Riviera flower
ed and died last year. Numerous seed
lings have since sprung up about the old
stools, but the latter certainly all per-
ished. This proved to be the case with a
plant of Arundinaria falcata, which flow
cred at Kew in 1886.
"The following are the kinds noted.
The names in brackets are what [ con-
slider the correct names, according to
Munro, etc.

walton at Kew in 1866, and is here still.
1t is one of the most elegant of the hardy
Bamboos. In the gardens of the Accli-
matization Society at Hyeres, there is a
magnificent specimen with stems twenty
five feet high, and not more than one and
a half inches in diameter: The nodes are
prominent, and less than four inches
apart on the lower part OF the stem.

TWO STAFF PLACES TO FILL.
A Couple of Appointments Yet to be Made
by the New Governor,

A Couple of Appointments Yet to be Made
by the New Governor.
The meeting .of the Grand Lodge of Masons
in Philadelphia during the week, developed
the strength of the number of military appli-
cants for positions on tine new Governors s
staff. This brigade was represented by four
applicants for the commission of the present
Adjutant General, whoae record was made
during the terrible calamity that overlook
Johnstown. The political and military
records of those candidates have been set
aside in the interest of Pittsburg
gentleman, whose merits as citizen and a
soldier are indorsed by representatives of
both parties In this city. The expected ap-
pointment of this gentleman has set at rest
the claims of all the other candidates, and
they are now returning to their several
walks in life.
Two appointments are yet to be filled by
the Governor-eIect The most important,
next to the Adjutant General, are
the Inspector General and Quarter
master General. These positions re-
quire that the incumbents be fitted
with brains and ability, to honorably fill the
offices, years of experience in the Guard
is one of the first requirements, and Cham
bers McKibben, an ex-Colonel of the Eight
eenth Regiment, and whose appointment is
considered sure, has all the requirements.
For Quarterraster General, Major w. w.
Greenland, of the Second Brigade, and a
resident OF Clarion county. is now men,
toned. He has had long experience in the
QuarUermaster' department of the brigade,
and his Endorsement will soon be in course
of preparation in this brigade.

with Mr.. Arnold he went to Rochester, N.
Y, on Wednesday, and on Thursday
night he started for home. He took
sleeper, and when near Ashta-
bula, about 10 o'clock, called the porter
and told him that, as he was not feeling
we'll, he preferred not to have his berth ar
ranged. When the train reached Coraopolis
the porter started to awaken the passenger,
but Mr.. Ammon did not respond. The con-
ductor was called and he was found to be
dead. The body was removed to rear COM
partment and friends in Allegheny were
notified.
When the train reached this city William
P. Bennett, son-in-law of the dead man,
was at the station. and the oody was re-
moved to the family residence. No. 121 Shelf

Mr.. Ammon was born in Washington

the nursery business at Mt. Lebanon. He
removed to Allegheny about 40 years ago,
and in the latter part of the sixties became
a member of the firm with which he was
connected at the time Of his death. In 1881
he was elected to Common Council from the
Fifth ward. He was Chairman of the City
Property Committee and also member of
the committees on Wharves and Landings,

81 think it safe to say that we'll get the
new club organized on Monday" were the
words of Manager Hanlon last evening, at
the close of the meeting of the local 2. L.
stockholders. The meeting was held at the
Hotel Duquesne, and lasted about two
hours and although every detail was not
definitely settled, the business transacted
warranted the assuring statement of Mr.
Hanlon.
Director H. B. Rea was also extremely
cheerful at the prospect, and said: Every
thing is in first-class shape. There are two
stockholders yet TO hear from, Fred Carroll
and one in the East. The latter, however,
is willing to forfeit his stock if he does not
pay the 80 per cent assessment. However,
We are all right"
According to the opinion of the stock
holders last evening no more meetings of
the P. L. stockholders will be necessary,
and the next meeting will be to organize the
new club. At last evenings meeting the
plan of dissolution agreed to was for each
stockholder to paw his share of the clubs
debts. This most assuredly is the best way,
and one that will be in the long run the
most harmonious. AT anV rate, II Is less
open 10 objections than any other. Salts
factory arrangements will, at once, be made
with the creditors. and, as Manager Hanlon
sid, the new club may be formed on
Monday.
Both parties are anxious to have The new
club organized so that definite and safe
action can be taken in the way of signing
new players. Mr.. Hanlon is exceedingly
anxious on this point, as it is probable that
after Monday clubs can commence signing

mIttce is expected to meet in New York,
and that body has the power to say that
everything between the n. l.. and Z. L. is
settled or declared off In either event it is
likely that permission will be given to
clubs 10 sign players. In anticipation OF
this Mr.. Hanlon desires that the Pittsburg
club be in a position to be in the field as
soon as anybody else.
OF course, Mr.. Hanlon is not vet elected
manager, but it is certain that he will be,
Judging from the general opinions of
stockholders. Mr.. O'Neili will be elected
President of the club. The experiences
gone through OF late will certainly cause
any man appointed to the office to be very
