Editor Floral Department:
No one need complain OF want of sue
cess with these floral beauties if they will
take reasonable pains to get them once
established.
The Amaryllis equestre so prefectly
described in the Floral Catalogue of
Messrs. Pike & Ellsworth deserves all the
praise bestowed upon it.
At the present writing they are in full
bloom in this section. Some of them are
OF the darkest red with white stripes on
each petal. 1t is also very fragrant. In
appearance, it is identical with some of
the costly varieties procured by a
northern florist. Whether it has sported,
or not [ cannot tell.
All of my Amaryllls seem determined
to bloom this time, in spite of the long
continued drouth.
Those OF our Northern friends who are
SO fortunate as to have procured crinums,
when summer comes will have rare
treat
They are without doubt one of the
most desirable OF all bulbs, and they are
so easilyigrown. No northern production
can equal them. Their fragrance is delici-

Climbers.

A LIST OF SORTS ADAPTED TO THIS STATE.
The nearer the equator is approached,
climbing plants become more conspicuous
and important. In the North, climbers
such as the ampelopsis and the English
ivy, soften the outline and colors of our
buildings, while in the old country the
ivy is the only pretty feature of the
village church.
In Florida the culture ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is often neglected and the sun is allowed
to pour on the verandah floor and swell
ter up the inha bitants of the house. Ger
tainly, if grown too thick, the foliage
encourages snakes, but judicious pruning
and training should prevent that. The
following plants have found satisfac-
tory:

Tradescantias.

There is a large upright variety Of
tradescantia which has long, dark-green
leaves, the reverse of which is of a light
reddish-purple color. These are very
handsome for the centre of baskets, win

The varieties best known areT. zebrina,

general name, "Wandering Jew," which

adopted.
The Spanish, or Barbados Gooseberry
(Pereskia aculeata) is another admirable
vine which for rapidity OF growth and
dense shade is hard to beat. Though
liable to be frozen down it sprouts up
and grows with such vigor as to soon
replace itself. 1t is at hOmein the poorest
soil and hottest sunshine.
We have had no experience with Echites,
but have just planted E. Andrewsii and
hope to make favorable report of it
later on. This species and E. paludosa
and E. umbellate are natives of the ex
treme Lower Keys and some of the West
Indies, and are described by Reasoner
Brothers, in their catalogue, as very
beautiful climbers, probably not before
introduced into cultivation as they fail to
find them mentioned even in the most
extensive European catalogues.
E. Andrewsii is a native OF Matacomba
and Key Largo. "Ieaves rich, glossy
green ,..wax-like. Flowers richest golden
yellow; resembling the closely related
Allamanda, only smaller
E. palludosa is described as the most
beautiful of all; flowers white, tinged with
the most delicate pink. A native Of the
salt marshes of the lower coast.
E. umbellate. "a most desirable
species for open air cultivation in South
Florida, but unfortunately more difficult
of propagation than any plant we have
ever seen. Leaves prettiy veined with
white, and the Oleander-like creamy
white flowers produced in umbels, bloom
ing through the entire summer. The
plant has a tuberous root, and is found
on the shell mounds and dry sandy
beaches of the southern coast, especially
at Cape Sable, where fire run over the
ground, burning the grass almost every
year. When once well established in the
ground, neither fire nor frost above the
ground Injuries it's vitality, and if frozen
down in the winter it appears again in
the spring with all it's former vigor, and
blooms as usual all summer"

Catarrhal Deafness - Hay Fever a
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware 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 eustacbian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
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 sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. H. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 500 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.-Christian Advocate.

The bolo flower, discovered growing
upon volcanic mountain in one of the
Philippine Islands, is perhaps the largest
flower in existence, being three feet in
diameter and weighing twenty-five
pounds. 1t has five oval and creamy

filled with countless long violet-hued
stamens.-Ex

appellation is possibly derived from the
seemingly aimless way in which therapid-

For hanging baskets, window-boxes,
etc., these plants are almost indispensa-

branches giving a certain beauty of effect
not attainable by any other plant.
All OF the varieties are very tenacious

flourish to perfection in the gardens of
this State, and in the poorest soil i'm
aginable. Rare species worth several
dollars per bulb, which are petted in
green houses and Conservatives at the
North can here be committed to the open
ground where they will take care of them
selves and bloom to perfection. Several
species are found growing in the yards OF
this State, which produce magnificent
flowers, covering a period of several
months. Among them Amaryllis eques-
tire, OF which Mrs. Perkins writes, is the
most common and the most brilliant.
It's usual time OF blooming is from the
last of March through April; but this
season they have bloomed earlier-owing,
doubtless, to the mildness of the winter
and the freeze caught many in full bloom:
but to our surprise they came through
uninjured, except an occasional petal
bleached. Buds in all stages of develop
ment were uninjured, and to-day March
26th) they are in their full glory,-a
glowing mass OF color. The finest bulbs
of this sort which we have ever seen were
grown in theyellow sub-soil of poor black
jack land. The sort described by Mrs.
Perkins as "of the darkest red, with
white stripes On each petal" is evidently
distinct species-perhaps A. Johnsonii an
old but highly desirable sort, which an
swers to the description. In this section
some of the colored people here have grow
ing variety which they call ode ribbon
lily''and describeit to us, as having striped
petals but more bell-shaped flowers than
A. equestre. But it is quite rare while A.
equestre and some of the Crinums are
very plentiful. We have some of the rare
and costly northern Amaryllis growing
in the open ground, and in very poor soil
that are fourishing finely. Some of them
were i'll bud and fully exposed during
both of the recent frosts, but were not
injured in the least.
NOWHERE will the grateful shade of
vines be more fully appreciated than in
climate like ours. Whileit is always cool
in the shade, the sun beats down fercely
during the summer months, and if allowed
to fall unchecked on piazza floors and
through unprotected windows great
deal of discomfort to the inmates must
necessarily follow. Were all of the east,
south and west piazzas and windows of
the State properly shaded by vines we
should hear little, if any, complaint of
discomfort from heat, and all times of the
day a cool retreat could befound.
A list of climbers adapted to this State
is furnished by A. P .Bosanquet, of Fruit
land Park, Fla, and will be found partic-
ularly valuable by those just settling and
others whose means will not admit of much
in the way of experimenting.
Where in this broad country except in
our Italy of America" could such a long
and varied list OF desirable climbing
plants be cultivated with success? Yet
the list can. be considerably heightened.
Where annual vines are desired, mixed
Ipomeas, including Cypress vines and
Morning Glories, Thunbergias and
Gourds flourish wonderfully. Our Amer
lean Ivy (Ampelopsis quinque folia) is too
