The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-01-01

LAST winter we wrote of very fine
clump OF the giant Bamboo growing on
Mr.. E. D. M Perkins place near Crown
Point, Orange county. We have ex-
amined it recently and find that the past
few months have only served to add to it's
magniicence. The clump now consists of
twenty-one canes, thirteen of them the
growth of the past summer. The Oldest
canes are from fifteen to twenty feet tall
and bend over gracefully like immense
plumes, their lance-like leaves trembling
in every breeze. The new canes are much
larger and taller and stand erect, tower
ing high above the older growth. The
tallest cane of the new growth is fully
thirty feet high and is eleven inches in
circumference. The polished green canes
are beautiful in themselves but their
beauty is greatly enhanced by their
graceful and flexible branches and
numerous leaves. From a distance it
appears like an immense fern towering
high above the house. The Bamboo is
gross feeder and needs to be literally fer
tilted in order to obtain the best results
Few plants present more tropical and
imposing appearance than the BambOos
and they should be freely used in laying
off grounds.

leaves fully offset this want in the flower.
1t is plant of very slow growth but
each passing year serves to add to it's
permanent value and highly ornamental
character. 1t is perfectly hardy even as
far north as Georgia.
A few yards in Sanford contain some
good specimens of the gorgeous Poin-
settia now in their full glory of scarlet
leafy heads. There are few plants which
present more striking and brilliant ap-
pearance, and it is not only a popular
but valuable plant at the North where
thousands of the colored heads are used
during the holiday season. 1t is quite
tender but survives the ordinary winters
of this State. We also noted several
specimens of a very beautiful pink va
riety of the Chinese Hibiscus which
served to enhance our admiration for
this highly ornamental class of plants
which has proved so well adapted to this
State.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-01-01

WHY is the Date Palm so neglected in
this State where it is perfectly hardy at
home? Their cultivation here is no longer
a matter of experiment as is abUndantly
proved by specimens to be seen here and
there in widely separated portions of the
State. Even if it never produced it's val
liable fruit it would be well worthy of
cultivation as an ornament for the
humblest or most splendid surroundings.
We noticed aspecimen recently in Sanford
growing in a yard of Bermuda grass,
with stem a foot or two above the
ground and pinnate leaves several feet in
length and forming striking object In
ST. Augustine five years ago we saw sew
eral specimens; some with large trunks
five feet or more tall, and were but few
years old from the seed. On St. Francis
street was an old trunk many feet in
height and presenting one of the most
striking features of the place. Magnif-
cent avenues could be formed by planting
the Date Palm in conjunction with our
native Cabbage Palm and other trees.
Seeds from the preserved date of com
merce terminate readily especially if
soaked for some days before being plant
ed. Speaking of palms reminds us that
we recently saw fine clump of the COM
mon Saw Palm or Scrub Palmetto grow
ing in yard beneath the shade of an

The Clerodendron Fragrans.

This is handsome plant, of easy cul-
ture and better suited to the amateur
florist than any other we are acquainted
with. It's large tropical looking leaves
and rich abundance of snowy flowers
are very striking, and when to these are
added the ease with which it grows when
once started, taking care of ITSELF and
fourishing for years without the slight
est attention, we see nothing to hinder it
becominga universal favOrite.
1t is sometimes called the cologne
plant" from it's peculiar fragrance. 1t
fourishes in all kinds of soil, and if the
top is killed by frost it sprouts up again
from the roots.

Vines as Bedders.

Several kinds of Ipomeas when not
furnished with support grow nicely on
the ground, and their flowers are more
brilliant for their near contact with the
soil, notably the cypress vine whose
green and crimson is greatly intensified
in such situations.
The Ipomca Pandurata often covers
the ground for a long distance with it's
vine, and pure white flowers with throats
shaded delicate purple.
The Sea Morning Glory clothes many
leagues of sandy beach with it's feshy
leaves and purple flowers.
The Honeysuckle shows strong pro-
pensity to become bedder. If not care
fully watched it trails on the earth to
which it clings closely, and in it's new
situation it becomes a root sending up
many shoots which form a close mat of
green. | have seen many feet of surface
covered by them in this manner wherein
the climber had become a complete
bedder.
The Thunbergia is however the best
vine for this purpose. 1t is perfectly
adapted to this climate, is easily started
and a profuse and almost perpetual
bloomer. The white Thunbergia is es-
pecially suited to plant in cemeteries. Its
pale green foliage and pure white flowers
soon hiding from view the unsightly sur
face OF mounds and covering them with
mantle of beauty the year round.
When we'll started they take care Of
themselves and flourish for many years
without further attention. JENNIE.

in the bark and rear it's long fronds
gracefully in the air.
Another curious plant-also fern-is
the Vittaria Linoata. 1t grows on the
trunks of palms, and hangs down like
punches of long, green grass or pine
straw. But it would be impossible to
describe all OF the specimens of this love-
ly species which grow in these hammocks
in great brakes and make perpetual
greenery. 7. +.

Ferns.

Among the plants that adorn our
Florida hammocks, and give to them a
tropical appearance, the ferns occupy an
important position. In the great bodies Of
hammock land surrounding Lake Apopka
this family is especially we'll represented,
many of the old and some new species
being found here.
Immense brakes of the Sword fern
(Nephrolepsis exaltata) covers the ground
with a mass of tropical confusion, while
some of the plants run up the palm
trunks and, finding root in the fibre be-
tween the petioles, send out long fronds
several feet in length, presenting a beau
tiful appearance But the fern most fire.
quently found on the trunks fpalmettoes
is the Polypodium Aureum. It's roots
also find a Judgement in the rotten fibre,
and send ont beautiful, glaucous fronds,
which are crinkled and bearing on the
underside red patches of spores, which
are arranged in perfect order.
One of the rarest ferns is the Harris
Tongue Fern (Polypodium Phyllitides).
1t has long, undivided and crinkled
leaves, which stand up firmly on the
stem, and in handsome order. Unlike
the other mentioned varieties, it grows
best on the trunks of hard wood trees,
where it likes to cling with it's roots deep

The fairy jessamines blossom,
In the beautiful autumn days,
When the hooking birds song is sweetest,
And the forests are purple with haze.
They bloom in their starry splendor,
Gilded with sunsets gold,
So fair in their stainless beauty,
Like flowrs in the Eden of old.
Let roses blush on in their beauty,
And lilies in stateliness bloom,
But give me the jessamine ever,
In it's purity and perfume.
