Pampas Grass.

clamp of this magnificent Ornamen-
tai grass should have a place in every
yard in Florida. 1t is a gross feeder
and if well enriched will produce plumes
OF exquisite size and beauty.
In an interesting article in the April
number Of the Overland Monthly ii is
stated that Pampas Grass was first in
troduced into the United States in 1918
from South America where the area
covered by this grass amounts to $780,
600 square Mills. The plumes have
been grown for market in California
only since 1872. From one tract of
twenty eight acres in that State, and
managed by woman, 100000 plumes
we're sold in 1890. The soil and cul-
tural requirements are similar to those
of corn, butas the female plants produce
the best rlumes, it is customary to prop
agate division of roots in order to secure
these. No plumes are borne the first
wear; the second year one plant will
bear twenty-five plnmes, the third year
seventy five, and for three years f. How
ing hundred or more, when the plant
dictionaries. In California the Grass
grows to height Of twenty-five feet,
and single shoot attaips an equal d.
ame!er. The principal market for the
plumes is in London and Hamburg.
OF three leading varieties Hayward is
the largest. The standard retail price
for long time was fifty cents plume;
they ROW retail from ten to twenty five
cents each, the grower receiving one
cent for small plumes and two cents for
the larg' ones.

Luck Versus Care.

There is q certain class OF people ia the
world who attribdte success in flOricul-
ture to luck instead OF good care.
One of these individuals came to see
my plants this morning and while look
ing at them eXcla lined:
There! ii my plants would only look
as nice and clean and thrifty as yours al
ways do, should take real pleasure in
their companionshp, but they never do,
aud | can't make them if try ever SO
hard, for you are one OF the lucky ones
and am not; there is no magic in my
fingers. All you have to do is to look at
plant or touch it gently, when 10! it
takes roots and grows and blooms forth
with"
Remarks like the above are addressed
to me so often by different individuals,
that sometimes feel like utterin9 a pro-
test. 1t is characteristic OF all of the hui
man race to want all the credit that is
due them, if they are successful in any
undertaking, and am not an exception
to the general rule.
After all the years have devoted to
the study of the floral kingdom, trying
to become familiar with thespeclic wants
AMI needs Of the different genera; after
all the SearS'Of persistent effort and un-
firing zeal in their cultivation, 1T is lit
tie humiliating to be told repeatedly that
your success is not the result of honest
labor, but you we're born so and couldn't
help it.
Admitting for the moment that was
born ''Iuckv;" that all the signs OF the
heavens were favorable at the time of my
birth, and also, that there is q magical in
fuence emanating from my finger tips
when in contact with plants; even then
l am very confident that if should treat
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-05-10


There is not single dag of my lille,
when am enjoying my usual degree OF
health and strength, that fail to attend
to the wants OF my plants from the least
to the greatest. Ii have visitors or am
pressed for time from other causes, rise
an hour earlier in the morning and go
the rounds before breakfast. | frequently
spend an hour wedding in the garden
while these ''unlurky'' ones are in bed
and asleep.
1t is not much, perhaps, thatmy plants
require; one may need water, another
wants lit lie pruning here or there, or
q turning to the light that it's growth
may be symmetrical. Others need a
shower bath to remove the dust from the
foliage, and ali dead leayes and flowers
are removed from the whole collection.
and the tables or benches busted and set
in order. These are little things in them
selves, but il persisted in, the result is
momentous; for it not only keeps your
flowers in good order, but il makes you
amenable to the term lucky.
If instead of giving my plants such
careful attention, should neglect them,
not only daily but week in aud week out
never watering them only when | hap
pened to feel like it, no matter how much
they might be suffering from thirst; never
cleansing the foliage from dust but al
bo
were entirely clogged; never pruning
plant however awkward it's tendency OF
growth; allowing those to stand in full
sunshine that we're best adapted to shade
and vice versa, should persist in such q
course of treatment, ii only for a few
months, it would not need the influence
OF magic to tell you that my plants had
become dsreputable lot, or that | had
earned the questionable reputation OF be
ing unlucky.
Now dear reader, this is not a fancy
and there are many just such neglected
collections in existence, and the owner,
thereof possess as much magic in their
fingers as [ do in mine, and they could
be Just as lucky were they willing to pay
the price, which is nothing more nor less
than giving them good care; attending
to their wants and needs daily; not once
a week. Or once q month.
Success in Horticulture may be termed
"luck" Or "magic," by those who Guilt
vate them hap-hazard. whose Indifferent
efforts end in failure; but to those who
grow them understandingly, it is but an
other name for honest la tor, for persev-
ering effort and untiring care.
That is the whole secret OF success, and
to reason otherwise, is but sophistry.
do not want people to tell me in so many
words, that they take good care OF their
plants, il they do, the fact prOclaims it's
self, for plants are truthful, their cOnd-
ton is ample testimony for care or neg
lect, but it does not matter whether orr
failure to produce fine specimen plants
is the result of letting them alone too
severely, or being Over.ZealOus in our at
tentions, since both methods if persisted
in will ultimately kill the plant. The
one dies from a withholding when we
should give; the other from giving when

Flowers in Tampa.


Srolling through the grounds OF the
Tampa Bay Hotel in February, | was
struck with the unique arrangement OF
some of their Towering plants. For in
stance, Chinese Hibiscus trained fan
shaped along the veranda. These tender
plants were green and full Of bloom, and
presented lovely appearance growing
among Alamandas and Marechal Neil
roses which are trained in the same way.
In the grounds are some large trees OF
Camellia JapOnica, which have been sue
ccssfully transplanted without sacrificing
the top. They must be from eight to
twelve feet high. The gardener told me
he obtained them in North Alabama.
From the way they are growing and
blooming, they evidently enjoy their new
home. After the severe cold we had in
January killing most Of my tender shrubs
to the ground, I was surprised to see so
many flowers in blOomin the open ground
The name of the hotel is designed in Ger
aniums, Petunias and Phlox. The letters
are large and show up well, the plants
being in bloom.
The roses are formed ia bowers Of very
simple construction, being a circle Of
about eight upright stakes eight Or ten
feet high, connected with iron wires, and
covered with Stats and wire. The rank
growth Of the roses soon cOnceals the
material used, and with q rustic seat in
side they make very pretty lawn sum-
mer house.
Entering one OF the greenhouses saw
sOmeth ng new in the way OF grated
Cacti. 1t was the Pereskia or Barbados
Gooseberry, sometimes known as Lemon
Cactus, grated with Epiphyllum or Crab
Claw Cactus From the vigorous appear
ance OF the graft the Pereskia must be
the very thing Tor grating stock, being
stout and tough, the stems hold the Epi
phylum we'll up. Time would fail me t.
tell of the floral display OF beauty to b.
seen in the great hotel. Some of on
common Florida plants look pretty
growing in handsome vases in company
with rare exOtics from foreign lands. h
display of Azaleas of different colors il
very fine; also Of Gala and Easter Lilies
After hall a day spent in looking at al
this floral beauty we reluctantly turned
our faces homeward, feeling that Mr.
Plant is a public benefactorin more ways
than one.
May his shadow never grow less!

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurabIe. For q great
many years doctors pronounced it a To-
cal disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter

In addition to the general raise OF
twenty per cent in insurance rates, Yer
million policyholders have been made
the victims Of another increase caused
by a row between the city council and
the waterworks company. The former
refuses to pay for operating the works,
and although the latter are kept run
ming, the insurance companies claim
that because the city does not pay for
keeping them running the waterworks
are no fire protection therefore they raise
the rates OF insurance. This is rather
novel, though entirely consistent with
the small doings of insurance companies
We have never known an ~instence where
the putting in OF waterworks reduced
the cost Of insurance, but this is the first
time we ever heard OF waterworks in
operation increasing the cost.

Judge Edgerton's decision in the
Huron bond case, boiled down to its
lowest terms, is thus given in an Argus
Leader interview, in the judges own
words: "The court decided" said the
judge. shat the recital in the bonds OF a
legal conclusion does not estop the defen-
dants from showing the fact. The reel.
tai of a fact does make an estoppal. Had
the bonds recited that the tax contem-
plated by the constitution had been
levied, even il the tax had not been
levied, the defendant would have been
estopped from pleading That the tax had
not been levied. But In the opinion of
the court a general recital to the teffect
that all the necessary antecedent legai
conditions had been fulilled-which is a
legal conclusion-does not estop from
showing the fact that the tax demanded
by the constitution had not been levied"
