Aquatic Gardening.

In this department of August 20 we re-
produced an article, '"The Water Gar
den, from the Garden and Forest. In it
the author wrote most entertainingly Of
the great amount of pleasure to be de-
rived from small cement tank stocked
with water plants. We can fully indorse
every word written, from personal expe-
rience. 1t is now thirteen months since
we constructed similar tank in our
yard. 1t is OF irregular shape-like a
miniature lake-abOut ten or twelve by
fifteen or eighteen feet and about fifteen
inches deep. And we can truly say that

anything else about the place. Red,

their chalices to the sun and scatter their
perfume to the breeze, while Yellow Wa

many will recollect that in the text it is
called on Ash-Esche. Such in fact it was
thought to be, and it is we'll known that
the Ash, like the Oak, long retained it's
sacred character among the Germans,
even after they were Christianized, yet
the writer referred to calls the ''WOrld-
tree" Mountain Ash" This does not
mean an Ash at all, as everyone should
know, for the tree is common everywhere
in cultivation, but tree of another fam
lily altogether, one which never grows to
large dimensions and belongs in thesam

Waterside Gardening.

"Few situations can rival the brook
sidein offering an opportunity for q choice
display OF plants. AS it is somewhat
rare to find such q situation upon the
home grounds, there is more reason that
where it exists it should be made the
most of. The grounds bordering a spring,
rill or lakelet set with those plants and
shrubs natural to wet places may be
made to produce some ofthe most charm
ing garden effects.
"Quite q number of hardy plants ofour
gardens thrive exceptionally we'll, pro-
viding they are drawn in somewhat from
the waters edge. Among such are the
Day Lilies (Hemerocallis) Canadense
and superbum Lilies, Campanulos, For

spurred Honeysuckle, many of the Irises,
the Eulalias and other ornamental
grasses.

to cultivated plants entirely for material;

native plants, and by judicious selection
made attractive the whole season. The

Catarrhal Deafness - Hay Fever q
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, orthat 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
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
Wo weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuf
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, 1877 and $50 West King Street,

Common VS.. Botanical Names.

The folly OF protesting against the
popularization of botanical names in the
belief that vernacular ones are all-suff-
cient was recently shown in an article in
q horticultural paper which spoke of the
poisonous qualities of some of our COM
mon plants. "Ivy" and 'Dogwood" were
named as plants which it is dangerous
for many persons even to handle. Of
PoisonIvy and Poison Dogwood, neither
OF which have any relationship to the
plant whose name has been given to it.
Both belong to the Rhus family, and, in
deed, as Rhus is synonymous with the
vernacular Sumach, there is no reason,
savepOpular perversity, why they should
not always be called Poison Sumachs.
Such misleading use of terms as we cite,
wherever the qualifying F'Poison' was
omitted, may well decrease the pleasure
Of timid readers as seeming to warn them
against ten kinds of beautiful and wholly
innocuOus Dlants.-Garden and Forest
for June 18th.
I'VE find a nearly universal belief
among the common people of this State
that the Trumpet Creeper ('Tecoma radi-
cans) is poisonous to handle. 1t is per-
fectIy harmless and they have evidently
COMPOUNDED it with the Poison Ivy (Rhus
Toxicodendron and it's varieties) which
is almost invariably found growing in the
same localities. This species of Poison
Sumach is also called Poison Oak, al
though tits no more an oak than It's an
ivy.-ED. FLORAL DEPT.

NYMPHIEA NUPTTALS.

Away, away, from a land afar.
From the tropical isle of Zanzibar,
There came lily of azure hue,
On a mission of love- bride to WOO
The blue is true and the white is pure,
And this mission of love was quick and sure.
He had heard from his home in the Orient,
That off in the lands of the Occident,
There were lilies white and pure and sweep
As the clear white waters that bathed his feet.
And he Mastered away with a glad goodbye
And flash OF light in his golden eye. w..
We Irvine them a garland of orange bloom,
In our farest waters we make them room,
And no bride in the land is more glad tonight
Than the Nymph Odorata our lady in white;
For the blue is true and the white is pure,
And this mission OF love was swift and sure.

One objection to Nymphea tuberosa
of which Mr.. Horsford speaks in another
column, is that by the production OF tu
bers it multiplies so rapidly that it will
soon fill large pond, and may crowd
out plants OF less aggressive vitality.
Mr.. Gerard finds thatN. Marliacea is also
prolific of tubers, so that it will soon be
within the reach of everyone, and it, too,
may prove dangerous competitor in
the struggle with other aquatics.
~
The above notes have been compiled
from recent issues of the Garden and For
est. In relation to Monsieur MARRIAGES
Yellow Water Lily Mr.. Gerard, author of
'sThe Water Garden, " reproduced in this
department of August 20, writes us in q
private communication: Everyone who
sees chromatilla thinksit the handsomest
Nymphaa of the lot. The note in Gar
den and Forest was not correct at all. 1t

across. deep yellow anthers and leaves
covered with red spots on reverse-with
wide opening as inn. odorata, not closed,
Or with flap, as in N. condidissima. [
rather believe it a cross between N. tube
rosa and N. fava." From the last vol
ume of the Dictionary of Gardening we
learn that the correct name of this Nym-
phHa is n. tuberosa favescens. 1t has
been highly praised in Europe, and is one
of collection which took the first prize
at the Paris Exposition of 1889. Mr..
Sturtevant, the New Jersey Water Lily

Nymph9a rosacea is another of Mon

N. odorata, which it resembles in habit
and foliage. The flowers are light,

much more delicate and less decided. n.

The value of our native white Water
Lilies for cool waters cannot be too high
ly estimated. The sweet scented one,
Nymph9a odorata, is already too gen
orally known to need any mention. It's
variety, Minor, with smaller leaves and
flowers, is also desirable plant, and
may be grown with it in similar situa-
lions. The largest of our Water Lilies,
N. tnberOsa, is not so generally known
1t is a larger and stronger plant, and
when given an equal chance bears larger
and handsomer flowers q third
larger than N. Odorata. The leaf is also
a third larger, not rarely fifteen inches
wide. The flower, though not so strong
ly scented as the other, has delicate
and delicious odor peculiar to itself, and
it remains open later in the day after
those of n. Odorata have closed. Both
sides of the leaves of n. tuberosa are
green, while in all the plants OF N. odor-
alta [ have seen the under side of it's
leaves were of reddish purple color. The
pinkish color of the sepals, so commonI
in N. odorata, is said to be always lack

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The editors
of Republican papers ought to be well
satisfied with the recognition they have
received from the present administra-
ton, for they haYe been well cared for.
Here are q few of the places and tn Q
lucky officeholders: Whltelaw Reid i,
Minister to France; John a. New, con-
sul-general at London; John Hicks,
minister to Peru; J. S. Clarkson, first
assistant postmaster-g generals; Charles
Emory Smith, minister to Russia. These
are only a few of the more prominent
offices held by journalists. There is a
small army of newspaper men scattered
through the departments here, and the
postal and customs service. The Repub-
licans have done more for the party
press since they assumed control of the
government than did the Democrats
during the whole period of the Cleveland
administration.
A year or so ago the gossips had it that
Senior MayoSa, secretary of the Nicara-
guam legation here, was to be married 10
a prominent and wealthy Washington
lady. But these pretty stories did not
materialize, for the accomplished and
popular secretary has just returned from
a recent trip to his native country,
bringing with him q charming Nicara-
guam girl, who will be a most welcome
addition to the diplomatic circles of
Washington.
A New York journal of recent date
contains the following gossip about Col.
Kilgore: ga number of Texas people
were recently in New York to tender
an invitation to ex-President and Mrs.
Cleveland to attend the Dallas fair.
Among those who came to urge Mr..
Cleveland to accept the invitation was
Congressman c. B. Kilgore-'' Buck
Kilgore, - they call him down in Texas.
Mr.. Kilgore has not made himself very
prominent ID the house of representa-
tives for the four years that he has been
there, indeed the only time when he is
really heard is when he arises to object
to the consideration or passage of PEN
sion bill. Still, be is very bright fell
low, and quite popular with his fellow
members, despite the cranklness with
which he objects to some of their pet
measures. He deserves a great deal of
credit, too, for when he came out of the
Confederate army after the late unpleas-
antness he was not only poor in purse,
but poor IN edu cation.
