Shrubs.
Departments:

Editor Floral Department.:
In q country like this, where shade is
SO necessary, shrubs should be planted in
our ya'ds to protect them from the
burning rays Of the sun. Plants that
cannot stand the summer heat flourish
well under shade trees. This fact alone
ought to encourage the planting Of Orna-
mental shrubs. Umbrella, China trees,
etc., are to be found in nearly every yard,
but there are other trees not yet in
general cultivation which are unique
and attractive in appearance.
A graceful tree, which is covered with
finely cut foliage and fragrant flowers is
the OpOpanaX. This one is rare, and not
found in many collections. The cedaris a
tree not found as a rule in our yards, yet
it generally assumes lovely shape, and
makes dense shade. The Arbor VitM is
more common, but as it is of slow growth,
it does not make much of q shade.
Some of our natives rOwths can bemade
to serve. Themagnoliai is a grand tree to
have in theyard. The palm also, makes q
lovely ornamental plant, as also does
the date. The bamboo is the loveliest OF
all, but it has been discussed enough in
this department. The camphor makes q
fine tree, growing compact and symmet-
rical. There are many shrubs that will
naturally suggest themselves to the
reader All the above mentioned have
seen growing nicely; they are we'll suited
to our climate. p. p.

Olea Fragrans or Sweet Olive.

This valuable hardwood shrub is q
native of China and a favOrite green
house plant. 1t is readily increased by
cuttings taken in early spring from the
previous years wood which must be we'll
ripened. They are made in the usual
way, ''struck" in damp sand. 1t is very
fragrant, both in foliage and flowers, the
Chinese using the former to flavor their
tea. The flowers are small, of greenish
white, growing at the axis OF the leaves,
emitting q powerful, exquisite odOr, a
very few being sufficient to perfume a
large room. The foliage is persistent, of
a deep green, leathery texture, quite
smooth much like the lemon and orange
except in shape; this is narrow and
rather pointed They are beautiful
specimen plants, when kept clean and
in health, but as they have the same
tendency to rust and scale that the or
ange has, they will require the same care
in Swinging. Like many other hard
wood shrubs, the growth becomes
stronger, more rapid and the bloom
larger and more of it, when grated on
some strong, vigorous stock.
The Privet is most generally used as
it makes plenty of fibrous roots and well
able to support large head. The best
plan to secure the desired stocks is to pot
off as many as you wish of nice straight
cuttings or plants of Privet in March,
give every care and when well rooted and
established cut back to about six or
eight inches from the surface of the soil,
tongue-grafting a scion of the Olive,
some four orsix inches long on the stock.

Horticulture for Profit.
SOME SURPRISING FACTS AND FIGURES.-A
BUSINESS FOR WOMEN.

History, romance and, yes may add,
every day life is practical example of
one great truth, and that is this: No
man can accomplish anything without
little woman behind him to push him
along. Such being the standpoint from
which we view matters, we must neces-
sarily be not only advisory helpmeets,
but helpmeets in pecuniary sense of the
case. Ready avenues to the latter is the
present engrossing search of every true
Southern woman. She wants remun-
erative employment, and yet at the same
time, mayhap, leisure for household
duties as well. With an indescribable,
innate delicacy so peculiar to Southern
nature, she shrinks from contact with
the coarser world and breads the
thought OF being pushed into some mas
culine employment and yet, those sweet
whisperings OF love and sympathy in her
heart for some one is echoed constantly
from the depths OF her very soul. GLOW
can | help, what can Ido?" Horticulture
is the very avenue for her. 1t will suit
her in every respect, and will be found,
when a system is established, more re-
munerative, for the time and labor spent
upon it, than anything else. In New
York City to-day cut roses are bringing
81 apiece, or from 80 to $40 per dozen;
Sweet Violets are in great demand from
80 to 80 so per hundred, and Lilies of
the Valley are 20 centsper spray Ferns,
Palmettos and Palms, growing with such
luxuriant verdure and plenty all over our
sWamps, are selling at fabulous prices.
Louisville markets arecrying fOrrOses at
$3.50 to SO per dozen, Violets, - to $3
per hundred, and single white Hyacinths
per spray, Is cents. Chicago market is
steady at 1896 to SO per dozen for
Roses, 10 cents per Hyacinth spray, or
S. to $6 per small bouquet Of exotics,
such as Geraniums, HeIiotropes, etc.,
sparsely used with quantities of green.
Commission merchants and fruit dealers
in Cairo, Chicago, ST. Louis, Philadelphia,
etc., (and you know they always give us
the commissions and keep the proft),
are soliciting orders now for Japonicas
especially from SO to Is cents apiece
Communications from private agents at
Cairo and Chicago few days since to us
ran as follows: "Great demand for cut
flowers in themarket. Send Immediately
every spray and bud available" Among
reports OF the past season from many all
over the State already engaged in the
work to limited extent, we find statis-
tics OF the most encouraging nature; and
still these very persons have sold to
agents or commission merchants, who
Immediately reshipped the same to other
points, thereby doubling and trebling
their outlay upon them. For instance,

presses herself delighted with her net pro-

season. Upon decoration and ceebra-
ton days, of course, wonderful profits
are always made. Even in the City Of
Natchez, where the whole ground seems

of single bell Hyacinths sell for 10 cents,
and medium sized Geranium bloom Is

orchards and fields, were readily bought
at Is cents per slip by Louisville, st.
Louis and Chicago florists. Thousands
of acres in the Northeast as well as in
California are reaping for florists hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars this very
season. Capital thus invested in very
short time will double, treble, yea even
quadruple itself. A florist of Cincinnati
received among many floral decorations
last season $4,000 for one wedding
nights adornment. A few months later
and the floral decorations at the obse-
quies of the bride Melted him $4,000.

All the men in the arena arranged
their blankets with greater care than

The huge, shaggy-headed bull rushed

Immense Phantom Ships.

The largest phantom Of the deep ever
heard of was that of the old Frisians.
This was the Mannigfual, which was
SO large that the captain had to gallop
about on horseback to give his orders,
and whose masts were so high that
boys going .aloft to attend to the sails
came down gray-headed men. It was
in trying to pass the Strait of Dover
that this huge vessel scraped the rocks,
and so made the white cliffs of Albion.
And yet, perhaps, she was not so large
after all as the French phantom Chase
Foudre. This vessel was so long that
she took seven years to tack, and her
cables were the circumference of ST.
Peters dome. Twenty thousand men
could maneuver on her maintop, and,
in order to provision the crew when
sent aloft, each block was fitted up as
q tavern. But this phantom ship was
manned by good and deserving marin.
ners, who found little to do, and plenty
of meat and drink on board of her.

C0mical Experiences o. EnumeratOrs in
Central India.
I'm one of the wilder districts of Ben
gal, during the census of 1881, curious
rumor got about among the Dravidian
tribes that the numbering of the people
was merely the preliminary to the
wholesale deportation of the men to
serve as camp followers in Afghanistan
and of the women to work as leaf-pick-
ers in the tea gardens of Assam. This
silly ofable. embellished with charac-
teristic but highly-indelicate details,
created a general panic. Many thou
sands deserted their villages and hid
themselves in a range of forest-clad
hills, where they hoped to escape the
official enumerators. The number of the
fugitives was large enough to vitiate
the census statistics for that area,
and the day fixed for the final enumera-
tion was periously near. Something
had to be done, but any attempt to com
pei the tribes to come in would only
have increased the panic. The district
official used his personal acquaintance
with some of the tribal headmen or
talk matters over BY explaining to
them in simple language the real OBJ
iect of the census, and laying stress on
the necessity of knowing, for the pur-
pose of relieving famine, the exact pop
ulation of district which had within
living memory suffered from two severe
famines, he succeeded in inducing them
to exert their influence to get the people
back. So effective was their action and
so readily were their orders obeyed
that within three days the villages
were again occupied, and whatever may
have been the defects of the census

The same thing was done. only in .

AFRICA'S KOLA NUT.
A Rival OF Tea and Coffee and a Substi-
tute for Tonnes.

a Rival OF Tea and Coffee and a Substi-
tute for Tonnes.
A paper by Mr.. 7. Christy was read at
meeting of the Balloon Society, st.
James Hall. on the African kola nut,
concerning which many remarkable
statements have recently been pub
iiShed. The kola nut is held in great
respect by the natives of the western
coast of Africa on account of its Won
derful stimulating and sustaining
powers. The nut is ground into fine
powder and carried about the person
during long journeys, when often the
only sustenance consists of ''chew" of
this kOla. Thanks to it, many have
been able to stave off thirst and hunger,
while others declare that after a severe
days work of marching nothing SO re-
wives the system as kola nut. AS a
basis for beverage, the analysis pub
lished comparing the heterogeneous prin-
ciples, chemically defined and crystal
liable, kola takes precedence over tea.
coffee and cocoa, while. owing to the
almost entire absence of tannin from it,
it does not injure to impair the diges-
tive organs. The stimulating tonic and
sustaining powers of kola are mostly
due to the caffeine, of which it contains
over 21l per cent; and sufferers from
indigestion, nervous or bilious head
aches will, the lecturer remarked, hail
with satisfaction a beverage which they
can drink as substitute for tea, coffee,
or cocoa. The lecturer pointed out the
advantages of this nut to sportsmen,
athletes, brain-workers, during the
times when they are straining
their powers of endurance. From the
accounts given kola is likely to prove
not only great rival to tea and coffee,
but also substitute for the ordinary
run of tonics and stimulants. Planters
in the tropics having low-lying, marshy
lands will find the kola tree a profita-
BILE product yielding as it does, at full
maturity, about hundred weight Of
nuts per annum. The Towering and
fruiting take place simultaneously
twice a year, so that there is presented
the curious sight of a tree bearing fruit
and flower at the same moment.
An interesting letter was read at the
Paris Academy of Medicine recently on
the action of kola as nourishment and
sustaining power for walkers, and spe-
cially for the army. DR.. Heckel, of Mar.
settles, the writer of the letter, argues
that the fruit of the kola plant should
be used as part of the soldiers rations,
inasmuch as it enables men to make
long marches without a corresponding
fatigue. He gives various instances in
support of his statement, and especial
