Trade in CASTOR Teeth.

A medical statistician estimates that
the citizens of the United States are
carrying gold to the value of 800, 600 in
the secesses Of what ought to be their
teeth. There are no people on the~face
of the globe who have such bad teeth
and who spend so much money upon
them as the Americans. No doubt the
habit of hurried feeding and the whole.
sale consumption of sweet dishes have
assisted much toward this end. But ID
it not mistake to suppose, as says the
medical statistieian, that false teeth set
in gold are buried when their owner
shuffles of this mortal coil? If this is
30 in America, it is not so in England,
or why the numerous advertisements
offering to buy old artificial teethi The

The article on Jessamines, written by
the lamented p. w. Reasoner and repro
duced from the American Garden, will be
found highly interesting and instructive
showing how a common and popular
name may come to be applied to num-
Der of different plants, some of them so
entirely distinct as to bearno theremot-
est connection to each other.
There is still another beautiful and
deserving plant not enumerated in the
article which bears the same common
name, being known both as Star Jessa-
mine and African Jessamine. While the
form of the flowers easily suggests the
first name, the second must have been
applied for the same reason that Mr..
Reasoner suggests may have lead to call
ing the 'frangipanni'' Coffee Jessamines,
for it is a native of India, China and
Japan. BOtanically it is Trachelosper-
mum Jasminoides-th though the generic
name is more often written Rhy sper-
mum. 1t is very pleasing climber with
thick, shining. evergreen leaves and pro-
ducing in great abundance cymes OF pure
white, rotate shaped flowers of most deli
cious sweetness. 1t is arapid grower, per
fectly hardy in this State and well adapt
ed to our soil and climate. 1t is very
beautiful and appropriate for training
about piazza posts. A small plant set two
years ago has run several feet, and at
present is mass of it's lovely blooms
from the ground up. There is varie-
gated form with leaves variegated most
beautifully with cream color and pink,
but it's seems to be slower growing, and
the foliage smaller. Though commonly
called a Jessamine it belongs to the poi
sonous Apocynacea, with the Oleanders,
Allamanders, etc.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness Hay Fever a
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 g 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 snuf
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.

double Powered variety, first introduced
by 2. j. Berckmans, is worthy of a place
in any collection of plants.
Closely related to the true Jessamines
is Nyctanthes arbor- tristis, the "Tree Of
Sadness" This plant is agreat favorite
in the gardens of India, of which country
it is a native. The beautiful, small white
flowers, family tinged with orange, are
open only through the night and early
morning, but the perfume is so exquisite
that the tree has been recommended as
of value for scent distillation. The shrub
is perfectly at home in South Florida,
and commences to flower the second sum-
mer from the seed or cutting.
Many sorts of the true Jessamines
Gasminum) are universal favorites.
Perhaps the most common is Jasminum
grandifOrum, known as the "Catalonian"
Jessamine Or Star Jessamine" (thOugh
the &C S ars in the Jessamine family are
as plentiful as the Johns" in the Smith
house hOld). The plant is half shrubby
half climbing, and is almost always GOV
cred with it's fragrant, pinkish-white
flowers. Another favorite is the "Arab-
ian" Jessamine (Jasminum Sambac.)
This is a climbing species with simple
leaves (the leaves of the "Catalonian"
and of most other species are compound),
and single, semi. double or double white
flowers, very fragrant, as are those OF all
the species OF the genus. This species and
the preceding will stand but very light
frost unframed. The variety Grand Duke
OF Tuscany seems to belong, botanically,
to this species of the genus jasminum. 1t
is, however, not a climber, but of low,
shrubby growth, and produces very
double flowers, often to the extent of de-
formity, which are perhaps more fra
grant that those of any other of the spe-
cies or variety. They are larger, too, than
those of the common varieties of the Ara
bian iessamine
Jasminum mu1tiforum has formally
been pronounced by q leading Florida
nurseryman "the finest Towering plant
for South Florida, and it is a beautiful
plant, but aldly equal, | think, to the
newer Jasminum gracillimum, which, we'll
grown in the open ground in Florida in
late summer and fall, is a ''sight never to
be forgotten" The great sprays of white
flowers and delicate green leaves are only
fit for "bridal wreaths," which indeed
they are without artificial arrangement,
But there are said to be sixty or more
species OF the genus iasminum, and some
OF them are hardy even in the Northern
States. The flowers are usually white or
yellow, and [ can only mention thenames

by some people, if it be sweet scented. In
literature it has become almost as popu-
lar and as general a term as myrtle"
and "ivy." Nobody knows what lit
erary "ivy" may be, whether an am
pelopsis, a herdera or linaria. 1t is
supposed to combine all such desirable
qualities as cOnstancy, beauty, grace and
delicate tenderness, and in the meanwhile
to keep up vigorous clinging to the
" sturdy oak" The literary term
myrtle may apply to variety of
plants equally at home in a cemetery or
on the poets brow, and it has come to

First, there are the gardenias, popularity
known as "Cape Jessamines," though
the name is misnomer, the common
species, G. florida, having been introduce
ed, it is said, from China in 1854, and
named in honor of DR.. Alexander Garden,
of Charleston, s. G. This species is well
known everywhere. At the South it has
been popular for years, as it is perfectly
hardy throughout the lower Southern
States; at the North, though long cul-
tivated, it has suddenly become popular
on account of the whims of metropolitan
florists. It's popularity, however, is for
once well deserved. Other species of gar
denia are not so well known, though g.
radicans is sometimes seen. Other fine
species and varieties are G.. Thunbergii,
G. lucida, G. citriodora, G. cammelIifora,
etc. Randia fOribunda is a closely re-
lated India plant, which is said to be
well worthy OF cultivation. 1t succeeds
well in the open ground in South Florida.

habrothamnus, are also often confounded
with the Jessamines, cestrum nOcturnum

known as might blooming Jessamine."
