1t is a never firing delight to walk
about the garden since the rainy season
has setin, and observe the growth plants
are putting on. The long spring drouth
is very trying to small plants not thor
oughly established, particularly roses.
A great deal of watering is required,
and with all the care imaginable we are
liable to lose some. So far, [ have
found the SafraEo, Agrippina and Aline
Lisley, the hardest, coming through
without any trouble; and I think the
new Polyantha Rose, Clothilde Soupert
will prove to be quite as hardy.
OF other plants which will not be
much affected by the drouth and will
be in fourishing condition on your re-
turn from trip North, I can recommend
the different Oleanders, Plumbagoes,
Allamandas, Grape Myrtles, Lantana,
Tabern4montana, Ruselia Juncea,
Thevetia or Tigerapple, Hibiscus and
Poinciana. With these all blooming
now, ones garden is gay indeed. Leon
titus or Lions Tail, has onlv an occasional
bloom now, but is putting on such a
growth, makingready to don its gorgeous
livery in the winter. The Yellow Elder
is also doing the same. The Rusellia
Juncea is one of the best plants we have,
in my estimation, as it blooms the whole
year around. Mine was killed in 1886.
l procured another plant at once, and
now have an immense bush.
Among ANIMALS, the Zinnias holt
first place in the summer. With ground
we'll enriched, they make brilliant dis
play, having such variety of shades.
They seed themselves as well as the

grow high and only NOW it occasionally,
the grass grows coarse and rank, then,
and it saves neither time or labor, a5
under such conditions the mower runs
very hard. A little fertilizer applied
few times during the year Will keep It
green and luxuriant even in winter.
Two lovely Bermuda lawns [ used to
see. One was watered artifci&l!y and
was green the year aruund-the other
had nc water bnt The rains, but WAS
kept we'll fortified, and it was tlso
green winter AMI summer.
We often see about some Of our Fir
ida homes Bermuda grass growing ac-
cording to it's own sweet will year in
and year out, except for an occasional
moving with scythe. To get such into
movable condition scmAtimes takes
much patient labor. First sra'gh1en
and edge with the bDards-moW as close
~ as possible wjCh sharp scythe-rake
off the cut grass, and then 60 over it
again with sickle and cut where the
scythe could not reach--rake again
next take your mower and 90 over it
again and again patiently until all the
brown why grass stems are cut close to
the ground. Very soon a new crop OF
short tender grass will spring up which
vii! cut very easily com pared with the
previous moving, and it will only be a
few weeks of persistent moving and
noting along the outer sides Of your
board edging before you viii see with
delight your beautiful green carpet I'M
rolled before your eyes. All Of this work
Except the moving by the scythe) can,
if necessary, be done by women and
children, and that is why have written
so many details, hoping that if Father
is too busy the boys and girls (under
mothers supervisory may be induced
to take hold OF this much needed work.
Yes, let the girls who love to make
pretty things try this out-of-door's fancy
work, and my word for it the result will
far surpass their expectations.

Editor Floral Department:

Editor Floral Department.:
Referring to an inquiry about pampas
plumes in your issue of July 9Th, let me
say that, as you CORE city suggest, your
correspondent has allowed the plnmes
to remain too long on the plant. They
should be cut, leaving plenty Of stem,
as soon as they emerge from the sheaths,
the latter carefully removed, and planes
hung to dry tops downward. or as is
commonly done on large scale, they
may be laid out in rows, upon the

enjoy reading the Floral Department
Of the AGRICULTURIST so much that L
turn to it at once, and generally read
every article with great interest before
looking elsewhere for An interesting
item.
There are so many ;Lings l want to
know, and [ am gene rally rewarded.
[ sincerely think the Floral Department
possesses more articles of interest than
any Floral De part ment [ have seen for
Florida, as it speaks Of experiments sue
cessful and the contrary.
AS have not seen any answer to the
question asked by r. [. Kimbal "Iow
to prevent the feathery plumage pam
pas plumes from shedding"' viii tell
what [ know ON the subject.
We have raised large number each
year, and have Experienced extern
sively with them and while there may
be nothing new in my plan will give it
for what it may be worth. Trusting
someone will be able to tell more still,
as | am long distance from satisfac-
ton.
We found that the best method was
to cut them with All the stalk, just
when they be!in tp. ''ShDw the white
plume" say two or three inches
out OF the sheath. A sharp pocket
knife is good kind to use in opening
the sheath which is cut { If at the base
of the plume; this is to prevent the in
ner stalk from breaking as it is very brit
tie.
We think them more graceful to lay
them over sonnet hing to cause the stem
to bend, shaking them 10 assist drying.
The balcony of a Southern porch, and
the sun shining in all his glory we fnu
an ideal lace in which to cure pumes.
In case Of rain the drying must be fin
ished over hot stove, and continually
shaken. They are not as white, how
ever, as when dried and bleached in the
sun.
Those we cuIed by this plan last ear
are handsome now, having shed but
little of the feathery plumage. The
year previous most of ours were allowed
to unsheath themselves and the conse-
queDce was total loss of their beauty,
besides being a source of annoyance,
down-like particles everywhere, out
where they belonged. G. L II.

it certainly would have correspondent
with the sad truth. [ remember it was
told me before ever came South that
'grass would not grow in FlOrida,'
and tried to imagi' Q country with
out it, AMI could 0t. We do have
grass, but lawns are he are exception. I
think have read NEW here hat "a fine
house without corresponding grounds is
like rare jewel without an appropriate
setting, and how true it is-4nd how
often do we see just such 4 condition of
things-a well-icishei and well-fur-
nished house, with ragged, wee ly, un-
kempt surroundings. What picture?
Let us reform. Let us have grass in
our dooryards, and, better still, let us
have it trimmed and trained into lovely
soft, green carpet, cool and clean, and
refreshing to the eyes of every beholder.
Nothing that 1 have seen compares
with the Bermuda grass forl4wns. I DO
not like the St. Augustine grass, it is to
coarse to be pretty.
If you have orange trees growing in
your yard do not be discouraged, [ know
orange growers often object to having
the Bermuda grass introduced amongst
their trees, claiming it spreads, and
cannot be exterminated when once it
has possession. This is true to GER
tain extent, but it is our experience
that it is easily kept within bounds. and
will not spread where the ground around
it is stirred fire Quently with a hoe. [
have seen orange trees In a Bermuda
grass lawn that looked fully as thrifty
ans fruitful as any growing in the sand,
but they had large circles hoed out
around them. The circles were meas
ured and cut out perfectly true, and then
hoed and rakel very smoothly. They
did not detract at all from the appear
ance of the lawn. II you have no grass
about your house, and must start from
the beginning with your lawn, now is
the time, while the summer rains are
wetting the ground each day.
Its boundaries should be marked by
boards sunk in the ground edgewise to
within about two inches Of their width.
Stretch line and make all the edges
true and straight, and always keep them
so. After your ground is freed from
weeds and raked thoroughly you can
plant either the Bermuda roots, or SOW
the seed, just as you prefer. We have
always used the roots and therefore
cannot offer any advice with regard to
the seed. Plant the roots in rows and
then let them grow-your work is done
for time, except to keep them free
from weeds. While your little green
rows are spreading and trying to cover
the sand, you will have time to look
about you for good lawn mower. Do
not say that you cannot afford it.
Think, a little, of all this beautiful lawn
will do for you and yours. Of course
YOU can afford it, it is a necessity, So %
will buy good one. Do without new
dress and hat, or economic in some
other way if it pleases you, but persist
until you get the mower. Perhaps two
neighbors might share the expense and
own the machine together. Commence
to NOW your new lawn as soon as prac'
ticable and then if you go over it once

no prospect of obtaining supplies of

at the same time would greatly distress

have had several officers employed in
this state in collecting but the quantities
gained are trifiing. There are some out

me. since our public imports are so
small & precariouS, owing to the num-

more likely to give us aid, than the est
State to buy every Species of Cloathing
