"The Banksian Rose, Or. Banksiana.)
This Rose, a native of China, was intro
duced in 1907, and was named in COM
pliment to Lady Banks. There are
several varieties, producing immense clus-
ters of white, yellow, or rose-colored
flowers. The plant is a rapid climber,
beautiful in foliage and graceful in habit.
AS it is an annual towering species, and
too tender to stand the seventies of our
winters, even if protected, it does not
meet with favor among our Rose grow
efs."

FLOWERS OR WEEDS.

Upon the grave of him who dies,
In Wales, they plant some flowers, intended
BY names or hue, to symbolic
The life that now on earth is ended.
So, does maiden die, unwed,
OF blameless deeds and fame unspotted?
Her history is clearly read
In the white rose to her allotted.
Or, is it one whose every day
Was full of loves unselfish labors?
The red rose doth his life portray,
Placed on his grave by grateful neighbOrs.
And sometimes. though but seldom so,
For man is everywhere fOrgiving,
Are worthless weeds allowed to grow,
Their tale to tell and warn the living.
All. reader. scanning now these lines,
What would men plant-thy past disclosing
Thus through such sure though simple signs
Where thou shalt lie SO soon reposing?

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
Natures Floral Gems.

Flowers are natures finger boards,
pointing heavenward. They are silent,
living preachers. They form and low
ingly entwine and cling to an invisi-
BILE, perfumed ladder, stretching to-
wards the realm above, and as we as
cend the sweet scented floral ladder their
fascinating beauty steals away our
cares. "Flowers are the alphabet of the
angels, whereby they write On trees and
fields mysterious truths"
We associate them with the 'Fsylvan Sc
crets' of the woodland and with the
music of tiny streamlets; we associate
them with the shadow haunted nook and
with the messy dell, we associate them
with the soft, liquid notes of the Cartel
songsters of the glade" and with all that
is beautiful in nature. BY their airy
lightness and. frailty they show us this is
not our abiding place. BY their bloom Of
day they show us that all the pleas
ures of life are ephemeral.
Love for the ''frail blossoms full of life'
breaks down the fimsy fancies OF the
present, and we are filled with thoughts,
higher aspirations, purer dreams. He
who loves not the beautiful flowers loses
an undefinable and delicious Joy. They
joyously minister to us in our happy
moods, and sympathetically whisper
words of comfort when darker clouds
gather on the zenith of LIES horizon
They freely bestow their deliciously deli
cate perfume and beauty of their bios
SONS on all, thus teaching us charity.
When one blossom withers another bursts
forth in it's noontide splender, and here
we can learn another lesson. They bloom
with as much prOdigality and prOfuse-
ness when cared fer by the penniless
hand as when all their wants are catered
to by the jeWeled hand. A little colored
girl trains vine (Rhyncospermum jas
minoides) around the front window of her
one rOOmed home, and it jOyOusly re-
spends to her kind treatment in the
wealth of it's pure white blossoms. It's
blossoms are like a gOssamer curtain on
back ground ofgreenery. No skilled flo
rist could grow this vine more success
fully. Love and tenderly care for this
beautiful floral gem, for herein we dis
cover the noiseIess key that unlocks the
joyous gayety ofhappy people who make
their homes an aladdin enchantment.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness = Hay Fever a
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
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
wo 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. II. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 800 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.-Christian Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should
carefully read the above.

The Language Of Science.

The Language Of Science.
Not long ago unpublished complaint
that young persons were repealed from
the study of botany because of the hard
Latin and Greek names, which were given
to the plants. We have never discovered
any basis for this charge, and find no
reason to believe that the science would
have more devC tees under any system of
nomenclature which could be devised. 1t
is not meant by this that scientific names
of plants could not be improved or that
framed, but there is no evidence that the
imperfectfOns of the system are so serious
as to deter anyone from studying plants
or to hinder to any appreciable extent
those who have begun the study. A new
charge, but one somewhat similar in it's
character, has recently been made, which
perhaps deserves q word OF consideration.
In his address before the Florists Con-
vention, Mr.. E. S. Carman, while rec
Ognizing the necessity of the plant
nomenclature of general application. and
therefore accepting Greek and Latin
names as the best, stated nevertheless
that the words which bOtanists use to ex-
press processes, conditions, ETC., in the
life of plants are so absurd, irrational
and prepOsterOus that the study of bot
any is rendered repulsive to these young
people. Mr.. Carman's paper was on
hybridizing, and to prove his case he
cited such words as ''diecious, ""moneci-
Ous, Reproductions" proterandrous,' -
and so on, stigmatizing them as bonn
bastic and abOminable.
In the first place, it may be said that
young people, or old people for the mat
ter of that. who study botany as they
should, and investigate plants themselves
instead of learning lessons from books,
have occasion to use scientific language
only when they have some scientific ideas
to express. just as soon as one has a
new idea there comes the necessity for a
new word Mr. Carman himself uses such
big words as "organography'' "morpho-
logy" etc., because he wishes to express
a well defined science, and these terms
have been selected for that use. He can
not express hismeaning so distinctly and
concisely in any other way, and yet these
words are as strange to the illiterate,
and to the young person as are any of
those he uses to prove his case against
the bOtanists. The fact is that the same
charge can be broughtagainst any other
study. At the very outset of his arith-
metical studies the child must become
familiar with such hard words as multi
plicand" and ''lividend" and "minuend, :"
and in geography he is Immediately con-
fronted by hemisphere and meridian, :"
equator" and many more which are
quite as trying to him as any botanical
term. There is no need of bringing illus
