The Opoponax.

The Opoponax is one ofthe most brilliant
of the Acacias and is easily grown either
from the young plants or seed. They
soon come into bloom and in a few years
will have grown from eight to ten feet in
height Like all other Acacias the tree
is thorny and the leaves pinnated, those
of the Opoponax being unusually deli
cate. The bark is whitish, the foliage OF
light green, and the innumerable heads
of flowers which appear in winter are OF
a deep orange color and very fragrant.
They are largely used in the manufacture
of perfumery, and the handsome tree that
is now so largely planted as an ornament
for lawns and parks will doubtless becul-
tivated ere long in South Florida for it's
financial value. Us.

Pronunciation of Dahlia.

We seem to be in fair way to have
definitely settled the true pronunciation
of the word Dahlia. Mr.. Hubbard admits
that should bepronounced Dah-li-a, but
that, on the whole, it is better to adhere
to the old style of Dalea, emitting the
pronunciation of the important h al
together, remembering that the plant is
named after Dahl, the Swedish botanist
1t does seem odd that the pronuncia-
ton should be such as to impress upon
the mind Of the listener or learner the
idea that the name of Dahlia is purposed
to honor that of Dahl, and not some one
of the name of Dale. To that end,
hold that the proper pronunciation
should be Dahl-ya, making it as it were
two syllables only, and such as brings
into prominence it's name parent.-Vick's
