A Tribute to the Capital.

From the New York Financial News.
Mr.. Henry Clews has just returned from a

time was spent in Washington. Mr.. Clews says
that Washington is by far the best place for q
New York man to 60 to for pleasure trip. The
climate is splendid and the city is the mos,
beautiful in the world-certainly the finest OF
any in this country. II is the city Of all others
best adapted for a winter residence for men OF
wealth not in business. There are more large
and magnificent residences there than there
are in New York. My wonderment was where
SO many apparently rich people could have
come from. On inquiring l found that all

rich and prosperous men there to build fine
houses and 70 live in them. This tendency
will doubtless continue until Washington will

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-03-12
Novel Way of Striking Roses.

Recently was conversing with a po-
liceman who is a Rose enthusiast, and he
told me he had strong bushes OF some OF
the best Hybrid Perpetuals upon their
own roots that he had rooted himself IN
a way quite new to me. Having obtained
a suitable shoot or several of them, they
were placed in an ordinary bottle which
contained some water, and this bottle was
hung upon the wall OF the house in
sunny position and there left, water being
supplied to make up the deficiency caused
by evaporation. In this water which
often becomes very warm from the neat
of the sun, the cuttings remained, and
after short period they callused, when
they were taken out and dibbled into pots
in the ordinary way, the formation OF the
roots soon takingp place. The above plan
was claimed as expeditions, as the cut
tings callused much sooner in water than
they did in the soil 1t is known that
many things root readily in water, and
Oleanders are frequently propagatec in
that way, whilst some Sedum spectabile
that have lately had in a cut state had
rooted freely long before the flowers
faded With the Roses, if the cutting is
once nicely callused, success is almost a
certainty, and if this needed state can be
brought about by immersion of the base
in water, we then have a simple and val
liable aid to Rose propagation, becauseit
is much easier to preserve alive cutting
placed in water than it is one in the soil
during it's early stage.-Vick's Magazine.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-03-12

The "Novel Way of Striking Roses"
from Vick's Magazine for December, is
not only novel but exceedingly simple,
and if as effective asrepresentedi is worthy
of being extensively known. Roses are
slow, and rather difficult OF propagation
in the hands of the average amateur,
principally because their requirements
are not properly understood and attend
ed to. But the method referred to is sim
plicity itself. We hope some of our read
ers will give it thorough trial and then
report to this department..

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness = Hay Fever a
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally ware that
these dis eases are contagious, or that 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
a fact, and the result of this discovery is
that ? 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 SEPT On receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. Fl. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 800 West King Street,

Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should

in many other desirable climbers, among
them. several very ornamental species of
Smilax, or wild brier vine, some of which
have very beautiful foliage, and at least
one clusters OF brilliant red berries. No
one can excuse themselves for not max
ing some attempt to beautify their sur
roundings, for the hammocks will furnish
as good and as beautiful as money can
buy.

The Trumpet Creeper as Weeping
Tree.


Tree.
There is hardly more beautiful vine,
both in foliage and flower, nor one pos
sessing more good points than our native
Trumpet Creeper (Tecoma radicans).
From South Florida to the great lake
region of the far North it is everywhere
perfectly hardy, and fourishes with or
without attention. For covering and
identifying old fences, dead or live trees.
old buildings or any unsightly object, it
can be highly recommended, the only OBJ
lection that can be urged is that it is de-
ciduous. 1t grows with great rapidity,
clings to wood, stone or brick with a
tenacity that defes the widest tempest,
and seems perfectly contented with any
soil, rich or poor, wet or dry. Then for
several weeks during the summer it is
gay with it's profusion of waxen, glossy
Orange-scarlet trumpets, each about
three inches in length, and buds as beau
tiful as flowers. A pleasing writer in
Vick's Magazine describes it thus: "In
the warm, sandy soil of every river val
lev, festooned over broken fences, gate
ways and gnarled old water birches, hang
these royal trumpets, swaying and bend
ing their sinewy, elastic stems, under the
weight of their own rich heaviness."
In this State we have never seen it
growing in it's wild state on other than
hammock land, and oftenest on low,
moist land near lakes and water courses,
yet it transplants to the highest, dryest
and poorest pine land with perfect sue
cess, and grows off farm rapidly than
many vines accorded the very best con-
ditions. In fact it's growth is so rapid
that a strong root will make considerable
show in but one Or two seasons growth.
If allowed to climb on building, care
should be exercised to keep it off from
the roof for the strong growing shoots
will force themselves under the shingles
and ruin it. Though naturally 1T is a
climber attaining to the same height as
the object to which it attaches ITSELF be
it a fence, building or the tallest tree of
the forest, yet when so desired it can be
grown as shrub by repeatedly cutting
it back, or as a beautiful weeping tree by
the following simple method:
Plant a strong root at the foot of a
stout stake, six or eight ieet high, and as
soon as it has run few inches above the
top pinch it off, causing it to form a
dense, bushy head. The side shoots,
from the ground up, must be kept off,
and attention paid to the head to see
that it is we'll formed. By the time the
stake has rotted away the stem will be
large enough to support the head, which
will be perfect fountain of living green,
the slender flexible branches, or shoots,
radiating in every direction in a most
graceful manner; and when in bloom it
will be perfect blaze of color.
We believe we have given this method
before, but we have been induced to re-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-03-12

because we recently discovered very
fine specimen of this method growing
wild. Several stems had long since taken
possession of a small stump about four
or five feet high, and formed large and
magnificent head; an object that would
grace the finest appointed grounds in
the land. For the adjournment of new
places this vine can be particularly rec
commended on account fits rapid growth,
and the brilliant display when in bloom.
SOME NATIVE CLIMBERS WORTHY OF Gull
TIvATION.
In the adOrnment of grounds here in
Florida the native plants OF our fields
and hammocks are not as frequently en-
ployed as they should be. In them can
be found many gemas beautiful and as
desirable as the most costly article ever
introduced; and the only price is the dig
ging.
CROSS VINE, OR BIGNONIA CAPREOLATA.
This is one of the most beautiful climb
ers with which we are acquainted, hav-
ing flowers in form and color very much
like it's cousin the Trumpet Creeper, but
it is an evergreen with the waxy, dark
green leaves of striking beauty at all
times, but doubly so when it's scarlet
trumpets nestle among them. 1t clings
as tenaciously as the Trumpet Creeper,
is found naturally in the same rich ham
mock SOIL but also transplants just as
readily to q poor situation. Less than
two years ago we pulled down a large
tall hickory, trimmed it up to single
rope-like stem about six feet long, and
transplanted it to high and poor pine
land, setting it atthe corner OF thehouse,
where it has never received a particle of
fertilizer, or attention of any sort except
to train up some of the numerous shoots
which put out nearly the entire length of
the stem. 1T has grown several feet up
under and along the cornice, where it has
festOOned itself in graceful manner, and
to-day is crowded with dozens of flowers.
About the same time we successfully
transplanted q very large
WILD YELLOW JEssAMINE
from the hammock, setting it at another
corner of the house. This, too, was
trimmed up to single rope-like stem,
but long enough to reach up the corner
and along under the cornice to the ridge
pole. 1t bloomed quite freely last winter,
but this season it has been literally load
ed from the ground up. Large vines can
be easily transplanted if they are severely
trimmed, as much fibrous root as pos
sible secured, and kept well watered dur
ing dry weather. We are doubtful there
is any other one vine which possesses as
many good points as the Yellow Jessa-
mine. 1t is naturally of a graceful, pleas
ing growth, has beautiful evergreen foil
age, is perfectly hardy and fourishes in
any soil, rich or poor, wet or dry, and
produces flowers which arenot only beau
tiful in form and color, but possess fra
GRANGE which is simply exquisite Who
could ask for more? The
RED CORAL RoNEYsUCKLE
of our hammocks is jewel not as fully
priced as it should be. Always beautiful
in it's native haunts it is doubly so when
transplanted to the open yard and given
a suitable object to climb on. It's blooms

LAURUSTINUS.

LAURUSTINUS.
Viburnum Thus, the Laurustinus, a ma
tive OF Southern Europe, often grows to
be quite tall shrub. It's leaves are not
so handsome as those on the plants de-
scribed above, but are dark green, thick
and leathery, and when, in mid-winter,
it's great fiat clusters of small white flow
ers appear, and all the air is sweet with
their perfume, you think yourself repaid
a thousand fold for the little trouble it
has given. The Laurustinus grows, with
little pruning, into quite shapely
plant, loves a loamy soil, a low tempera-
ture, and to be watered sparingly. 1t is
not sub ject to insects, but shower it often
to refresh the leaves and keep them clean
1t can be reared almost or quite as we'll
in the window as in the greenhouse A
temperature OF from fifty to siXty-fve de-
grees is the most that it needs in winter,
and in summer it can be plunged in the
open border in it's pot.
>.
The Camellia &C. Japonica, Lind is
everywhere Indigenous in Southern ia
pan. 1t grows to good sized tree in the
mountain forests OF Kiushiu and Tiukoku
often at an elevation of 800 NJ above the
sea; it extends into the deciduous for
ests, where it is distinguished for size
above all the other evergreens, except
Conifers. 1t is found with the evergreen
oaks on the southeastern coast of Hon
do as far as the 36th parallel, and as a
large bush on the Bay Yedo. The north
ern limit of it's natural growth on the
coast of the Japan sea is the hill country
of Northern Echigo, about $50 n. lati-
tude. found it therein the pin and bush
forests as a bush one m. high. In South
ern Kiushiu trees of ten m. high and one
fourth m. in circumference are frequently
seen. | found this size, however, only
among cultivated trees. saw here also
often the parasite, Viscum articulatum,
Burn, on it's branches. In it's wild state
the Camellia blossoms a simple red flow
er, which never opens to the full, but re-
mains half closed, like Tulip.
THE MYRTLE.
Another "classic" is the Myrtle, Myr-
tus communis. 1t grows to be large,
compact, shrubby plant, thickly set with
shapely branches, and when we'll grown,
these branches are covered with small,
whitefowers, having rich fragrance The
leaves are evergreen and shining, and
when brushed or bruised they also are
fragrant 1t must have plenty of pot
room, delights in being bedded out in
summer, and rich soil, such as you
would give roses and carnations. Three
things must be closely guarded against
in growing the Myrtle, hot sunshine, sour
soil from imperfect drainage, and the red
