er foricultu1{sts the increase since 1890,
when figures were obtained by the census
bureau, has been much more rapid than
ever before. 1t is in some quarters, in
deed, held that the volume of business
has doubled in the last three years.
In 1890 there were 4, $50 establishments
in the United States devoted to the rails
ing of flowers, employing 16,S47 men
and 1858 women. 1t cost about 81, 00O,-
900 a year to buy the coal burned in
maintaining q temperate heat in the
greenhouses, and their managers ex-
pended about 81 ESQ, 900 in advertising
For postage on their catalogues, circu-
lars and business correspondence $780,
900 more was at that time expended an
nually, and the yearly sales of cut flow
ers and shrubs aggregated sec, 211 ,s05. n.
The growth of Horticulture by private in
dividuals has grown in like proportions,
and the amount of money permanently
invested and annually expended in this
direction must be enormous-greater in
deed in relation to the flowers grown
than in commercial Horticulture, where
the utmost possible economy of time,
money and space is scientifically applied.
The attention paid to flowers and orna-
mental shrubs by municipal authorities
has also increased materially. OF Amer
lean cities, Chicago probably spends
most money ON flowers in the public
parks, while Boston's expenditures are
considered to be in the best taste. New
York is behind many cities in this re-
gard, although its collection of trees in
Central park is notable and interesting
one.
This increase in the production of flow
ers has come of course in response to a
popular demand-a demand that has I'M
doubtedly received much stimulus from
the constantly growing beauty and pro-
fusion of the blooms, for in some direc-
tions the florists of America are now the
most accomplished in the world. The
chrysanthemum, for instance, which is
native of Japan and was carefully cul-
tivated for many years in England before
any scientific attention was paid to it
here, is nowhere else produced in such
beauty as in the United States. This is
also true of the carnation, and as for the
queen Of flowers, the rose, the develop
ment here has distanced even the wonder
full roses Of France, the American varie-
ties being the despair Of rose growers in
every other land. Within the past few
years, in fact, the expectations Of rare
plants and flowers from this country have
exceeded the imports, the excess this
year being very large.
With the increase in demand has come
a gradual elevation Of taste, and the
gaudy carpet BEDS" at one time so great
a fad, are being displaced by q much
saner, less obtrusive arrangement Of
Towering plants. There is no doubt that
this improvement in taste has been great
ly fostered by the botanical gardens at
Washington, Harvard university, Am
herst and Cornell and the Shaw gardens
at st. Louis. The growth Of love for
beautiful trees, closely allied to the love
Of flowers, has been promoted largely by
the various arboreal collections Of the
country, among which the Arnold ST.

pills or powders that were needed, but
some pleasant occupation for the hours
not devoted to business, winding up his
talk by advising him to build and him
self attend to a small greenhouse. The
advice was accepted, and in a very short
time the business man began to see that
it was good. His strength returned; his
sleep came back; his interest in his
greenhouse grew. AS it grew he took up
the study of botany. One day he was
advised to make a shipment to Chicago
of some fine roses that he had grown I'M
der his glass. Their sale was instant
upon their arrival at the lake metropo-
lis, and in a short time the orders outran
the supply. Then more greenhouses were
built, a trained gardener was engaged,
and last year, when the old gentleman,
whose life had been prolonged to so years
by his new found occupation, died, his
greenhouses numbered eight, and the an
nual net income therefrom had grown to
between g, 900 and 81, 200. Many promi-
nent men of the day, who have not cared
to turn their love for flowers to CONNER
cial advantage, have retained their health
and vigor by hours daily spent among IA
vorite plants conspicuous examples being
Charles A. Dana and the late Jay Gould.
The flower shows of these days have
come to be among the leading events of
the social season in all the large cities,
and those held this fall in New York
Chicago and elsewhere have not been
less attractive or we'll attended than
their predecessors, notwithstanding the
financial depression of the present year
The chrysanthemum is the main stay of
the autumn exhibitions, as is the rose of
the spring shows, and at both the orchid
is prominent Of this most interesting
flower America boasts many noted pri-
vate collections, chief among which are
those OF the estate of the late F. L. Ames
Of Boston, Erastus Corning of Albany,
W. 8. Kimball Of Rochester, c. G. Roeb-
ling Of Trenton, Henry Graves of Orange,
N. j.; Hicks Arnold of New York. H. II.
Hunnewen of Wellesley, Mass, and the
Gould family of New York.
The expense to which some Of these
fanciers go to crafty their taste for rare
flowers is very great. The orchid hunt
er's adventures in the jungles of Asia
are as thrilling as those of the man who
goes to shoot tigers and lions and ele-
plants. Some of the commercial grow
ers expeud large sums and search the
ends of the earth for rarities in orna-
mental shrubs. The tree ferns, of which
picture is given here. were brought at
heavy expense from Australia, where
they had been growing in the wilderness
for fully 700 or 800 years before they
were taken up and brought on a three
months journey half way round the
world to be replanted under glass on the
slope of the Orange mountains.

but it is one of so many similar that it
set me to thinking afterward during my

Iwaited.
Il was in a shop near q crowded coun-
ter to which 1 vainly tried to get access,
when / saw a woman complete her pur-
chase, pay her money and stand waiting
for the change. thought this an oppor-
tunity, and spoke to her: May have

scowled.
II stood waiting my turn in the line
with two men before me-" continued
Mrs. John, when this woman walked
up and along tho line and calmly thrust
herself before us all"
well, isn't that what you call wom-
ans progress?" couldn't help inquiring.
1T was one woman's progress" re-
torted Mrs. John, land everybody hated
her for it,"
Then she dropped her vehemence and
became discoursive.
1T was this double experience which,
as l said, set me to thinking. l began to
wonder when we are ladies' if at all.
I'VE are not certainly when We do
either of these selfish and unjust things,
nor pushing and scrambling around a
bargain counter, nor spreading our skirts
over two seats in filling street car. We
are not when in church or elsewhere we
are overcome with the consciousness of
being better dressed than our neighbors,
nor when we are devouring hit of Cos
sip, repeating and enlarginS upon it; nor,
indeed, when we are scolding the chill
dren, quarreling with servants or re-
garding, if we are boarders, our land
lady as a neutral enemy"
Nor when" helped Mrs. John, las
last summer in the mountains that
healthy young woman refused to give
up her big room over Sunday to accom-
modate four persons with no other shell
ter, while perfectly comfortable single
room was at her disposal. and it had
been in the bond of her contract at low
rates that she should occasionally, il
required"-
No, indeed" echoed Mrs. John, who
was one of the unhappy four, Il shall
never forgive that girl"
Then she caught my eye, and we both
laughed.
Its no laughing matter" she finished
defantly, then or now. 1t is Il pity
rather that there should be so many
women who would scorn not to be called
ladies who have only thin parlor We

oe ealned from the fact that during

to May /, the daily shipment of buds

Horticulture for profit in that locality

Some Of the stories of the rapid max

In the spring of 1889 business man of
20, who was located in a small town in
Ohio, was obliged, by reason of the
failing strength that comes with old age,
to go to his physician for advice. The
man of medicine looked his prospective

On the last week in May each year thu
French socialists are accustomed to eel
citrate the ''bloody week" which wit
messed the downfall of the Paris COM
mune in 1871, the killing of p, 600 of the
inhabitants and the exiting of $1,000
others. As carly as 1880. under the lead
ership of Ganbstta and the moderate
Republicans, n general amnesty was
voted. with only five or six exceptions,
to the participants of the commune. 1t
is significant also that many of the mu-
nicipal regulations which the commu-
nists demanded were afterward granted
by the chamber of deputies.
Bloody week" began on Sunday, May
81, when the Versailles troops entered
Paris by a breach in the fertilization
wall which the national guards had neg
lected to defend. They came in by the
Bots de BOulogne. and terrible street
fights continued daily until on the fol-
lowing Sunday, May IS, Marshal Nc
Mahon was in full possession of the city
and declared the commune at an end.
On May % the Versailles troops cap
tured the Central Market halls and
threatened General Bergeret, who was
stationed at the Tuileries. He was
forced to retire, blowing up and burning
the Tuileries as he left, but managed to
save the Louvre, which some of his fol-
lowers wished also to destroy. The
fighting was mostly done by national
guardsmen against heavy odds and re-
suited in fearful slaughter; hence the
week has obtained its name.-New York
