Florida Flowers.

In January, when the Northern forests
are wrapped in their shrouds of snow,
our Florida woods are wrapped in their
bridal wreaths of yellow jessamine. IT'S
indeed treat to ramble through the
hammocks where stately palms stand and
live oaks, digniied with centuries, rear
their huge trunks and spread their giant
branches, hickorys and gums grow tall and
majestic Then from the leaf mold at
their roots the 'eye- brights' stand with
their shy heads hung down. Through
leafy alcoves show the white frjnged
flowers OF father grey-beard" and near
by the burning BUSH displays it's gaudy
seed in bury cups. In denser shades, ferns
grow in beautiful profusion and crinums
spread their dainty blossoms. Down sha-
dOwy hOllows the ground moss weaves it's
fairy carpet and hangsits tiny hands over
still dark pools On these banks grow
flowers unnamed and unknown, yet won
derfully beautiful A botanist's Paradise
are these Florida hammocks.

sap, and also from the young spikes.
Each plant furnishes the juice for about
8 lbs. of date sugar annually, but in
some instances much more. About So
600 tons Of sugar year are produced in
Bengal alone from this and some other
palms. The leaves are used for mats. 1t
lives in dryer regions than other Indian
palms.

About Climbers.

There is something indescribably grace
full about climbers that ordinary plants
do not possess. Something clinging vet
independent, and seemingly charitable in
their efforts to hide rough and uncouth
places. You find tumble-down fence so
embowered by the Bigonia as to repre-
sent fairy booth hung with scarlet.
The MOonfoWer riots over weeds, briers
and evergreens and clothes the deciduous
trees with it's green foliage and white
flowers in the winter, faithfully staying
with US all the year.
Next to it in running qualities, is the
Velvet Bean which remains green during
our ordinary winters. It's large clusters
of purple blossoms, succeeded by it's
velvety bean pods are quite pretty. The
odor of the bloom is unpleasant, and the
plant is better suited for the outside than
some other climbers. 1t has it's good
qualities, however, for it will make a
shade quicker than any other vine I
know. Ali vines are my favorites.

More Concerning the Date Palm.

Last week our correspondent, Mr.. E. D.
M. Perkins, set the date palm ball rolling
and at a very seasonable time. We trust
the result will be to induce few, if not
many, to plant this magnificent tree,
which combines the useful and the beau
tiful in such high degree. Hewho plants
a date seed, now, will be the fortunate pos
SCISSOR ten years hence of an object of rare
beauty and usefulness, and future genera
lions will think of him with grateful
hearts.
The late P W. Reasoner, in the "Report
on the Condition of Tropical and Semi
Tropical. Fruits in the United States in
1897" says: "There is not one date
palm tree along the Southern Gulf coast
and the lower Atlantic, where there ought
to be a thousand. Indeed, it is almost
possible to count the bearing date palms
in the South on ones fingers and toes.
The date palm is more hardy than
the orange tree enduring perfectly the
climate of the Gulf coast from the Rio
Grande to Cape Sable, and hardy almost
as far north as some of our native palms.
For many years bearing trees have -four
ished on some of the sea islands on the
coast Of Georgia and the datSpalms of
ST. Augustine are famous, but elsewhere
throughout tie South bearing trees are
rarely met with. The town of
Elche, n Spain, is surrounded by an old
date forest of $4,000 trees. and the sale
of the fruit and the leaves for decorative
purposes constitutes the principal income
of the town. At Alicante there are also
immense planted forests of the date palm
There is nothing to hinder the formation
of such extensive forests of the date palm
in Florida and the lower South-nothing
except m dern American impatience,
which can rarely wait patiently even for
budded orange tree to come into bear
ing. The date palm, as is well
known, is pinnate-leaved leaves blush
green and very beautiful The tree, with
great age, attains height of eighty feet,
but it's growth is exceedingly slow. In
Florida there are large trees, of them
fruiting, in Jacksonville, ST. Augustine,
Tampa, Manatee, Key West on Key
Largo, lower Matacombe, and at other
points in the State On Sneed's
Island, at the mouth of the Manatee
River, a few years ago, stood two date
palms, male and female, about thirty
feet in height, whose history (although
Manatee has been settled about forty five
years. was completely unknown. They
were thought to have been planted by the
Spaniards or freeboOters who frequented
the coasts many years ago, before any
settlement existed on the west coast.
The female tree bore full crops of fruit
every year until about four years ago,
when a WOuld-be sportsman, in trying to
cut off the clusters of fruit with a rife
ball, shot through the bud of the palm
and killed it. In some parts of the world
it is a criminal act to wilfully destroy the
date tree, and the enactment of similar
law is worthy OF consideration by Florid-
ians On lower Matacombe Key are two
very large date palms, the time of whose
planting is unknown to the present in
habitants of the keys, but which were un-
dOuhtadIv n1anted nv Dir Perrinn over

the true Sisal hemp, undoubtedly destined
to become as great source of wealth to
Florida, when once capital and attention
shall have been turned towards it, as to
her fruit interests. ThetWo date
palms are now the property of Key West
parties, and young cocoanut plantation
surrounds them. The bases of the trunks
are surrounded by an impenetrable chew
auxdefrise of the suckers, forminga mass
of leaves twenty feet across and hundreds
in number. AtMr Samuel John
sons place, on Key Largo, are half a
dozen fine young date palms, one OF
which, now seven years old, we saw with
three large clusters of fruit on it in June.
And Mr.. Johnson told us that it had
borne fruit four years, commencing when
the tree was three years old. All author
tiles unite in declaring that the date palm
is diGcious; and so it seems to be casually,
but we think that now and then a speci-
men must have perfect blossoms for
Mr.. Storter, at Chuckaluskee Bay, South
Florida, has a fine young date palm, with
no other blooming trees within miles Oft,
which last year produced fruit when only
five years old.
cit is stated that to produce the best
results the blossoms of the male tree are
shaken over those of the female; but is it
not possible that this operation may
really be as useless as the 'caprifcatiOn'
of the fg in the East? 1t is stated that
one male tree is suficientfor fifty females. )"
We call on the women of the South to
make the planting of dates popular as
did their sisters with the orange in the
earlier days of Florida. Plant dates
about your homes, because they are beau
tiful and ornamental, and when age shall
haveadded fruitfulness to their beauty,
then shall the "lords of creation" rise up
and call you blessed and straightway
begin planting dates until they become
as common as they should be.
The position which Mr. Perkins takes
as to the great age attained by the date
palm is borne out by the following selec-
ton from "Holiday Notes in Southern
France and Northern ltaly-VII," by
George Nicholson, in Garden and Forest
of December 4 "Bordighiera, few miles
from the French frontier, is specially fam
Gus FORTS palm groves, and presents an ex-
ceedingly picturesque aspect. According
to Dean Afford, there are more Palms
here than in the whole of the Holy Land.
A considerable trade in Palm leaves is
done in Bordighiera; in fact that town
may be said to possess the monopoly of
supplying blanched Palm leaves for church
purposes. The young growths are tied up
tightly in order to make them the
requisite color and plants so treated are
anything but ornamental in appearance.
Fortunately, however, a comparatively
small proportion of the Bordighiera
Palms are undergoing such a treatment
at one time. The Date Palm is said to
have been introduced to this coast more
than thousand years ago, and in the
garden (of the French Consul at Bordi-
ghiera) which now occupies the site of
Dominican monastery, there are huge
trees which are believed by their present
possessors to have been planted by the
