GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

A FEENCIIMAN has discovered that
California 'oscs possess twenty per cent.
more volatile oil than those of France.
The discovery opens the prospect for a
new industry in that opulcnt state.
The bartlett pear is European I'M
portation, it having originated in Eng
land. The Sccllcl pear Is a native prod
uct and it is said that the first tree that
bore it is still standing near Philadel-
phia on the Schuylliill river.
TIIR common daphne grown in flower
gardens is one of the most deadly pois-
ons known to the botanis.. Three or
four of the berries will kill man as
quickly as strychnine, and one has been
known to kill child in half an hour.
THE kudzu vine is probably the most
rapid-growing plant in the world. 1t
belongs to the bean family, and was
once called Dolichos japonicus; the
leaves somewhat resemble lima bean.
1t will easily grow sixty feet in three
months.
