bear neglecting, but COR all that will prove
a never-ending source Of delight. We
have had such a one fer several years,
adding plant or two perhaps each sea-
son, until last year it was miniature
swamp, containing many of our aquatic
plants which bloomed as freely as in
their native marshy homes. Procure a
rough wooden box, perhaps three feet
long, one and a MALT wide, and two feet
deep. Dig a place sufficiently long and
deep to sink this, then along (making a
sort of rockery as border) the sides
and ends place few stones. Place suf-
ficient soil in it to cover the roots of any
plants used. The water evaporates,
and is taken up by the plants rapidly,
but, with the hose from force pump is
easily kept filed, though the trouble
required to fill it with pail is we'll paid
for. Care should be taken to keep the
roots at least we'll covered with water.
This tank should be made, water tight
by cementing; the pitch use for boats
does very we'll. We imagine a mason
could soon make tank which would dc
for years. Any way, whatever trouble
is taken to prepare one of these is amply
repaid by the rapid growth of these
water plants, any of which can be safely
transplanted when in bloom The Hor-
ticultural Times.

"Pansies, Sweet Posies. :"

My papsies are just beginning to
bloom, and they are beautiful. This is
my first trial and am elated over my
success. Pansies are my pets; they are
almost like living things, and many
times day visit them to see if any
new blossom has opened, or 1.-THE chick
ems have cultivated them for me.
How beautiful they are, dark velvety
reds and violet, and the most gorgeous
yelloWs, notified and plain cOlors. Some
of them measure nearly three inches
across.
Another beautiful flower of which |
am very fond is the Dianthus Pink, they
are so easily grown, and may be kept
FOR three or four years.
About three years ago l sent to Robert
Scott and Sons, for some f)wer seed
and they sent me two packets of pink
seed extra. I cannot tell what variety
they were, as they had long, almost
unpronounceable, easily forgotten names.
I sowed them in boxes, and when they
were about three inches high they
were transplanted to other boxes. L
think had four plants to each box;
the earth was quite rich and gave
them light application of bone meal,
{ nd watered them we'll.
They soon bloomed; beautiful, car
nation-like flowers, some shaded from
pale to darker pink, some pure white
with delicate penciling of pink on the
edge of the petals, some beautifully
notified pink and white, one a single
fringedred but the prettiest of all was
very double dark red; this is the
only one I have now, Feb. 18th, the
recent cold killed the rest. By cutting
them back we'll after blooming, and not
being too stingy with the blooms, had
flowers all the time, as they did not all
bloom at the same time.
I don't think carnations are a very
satisfactory plant for Florida. but these
pinks are they are so easily grown and
are very much like acarnation only they
are not as large or double, and are not
fragrant. Try them. had mine three

that has been out all winter (for three
months) and has grown well; but there
is no sign of bloom yet. What can be
the matter? Will it bloom later on or
not?
Perhaps some of the readers of the
Floral Department do not know that the
Oleander can be successfully budded on

ors-yellow, white, crimson, salmon,

1t is an evergreen with thick, dark green
leaves, and the large golden bells are
lovely. [ had some small ones that
were killed this winter, but they soon
grow again from the roots.
After reading an article on insect
pests on Roses l concluded that one of
my Rose bushes was suffering from the
ravages of the Rose bug. Nearly all the
leaves had fallen, and it's appearance
was so bad thought of digging it up to
be rid of il. 1 thought, however, I
would give it a chance, and try a ket-
tie of boiling water. After the dose of
boiling water I waited few days to see
the effect, and was little surprised to
see the bush looking decidedly better.
Now, after few weeks, new growth
is starting all over it, and look for
fresh supply of roses. (This is the old
fashioned Cabbage Re se). [ got the
idea of using boiling water from the ex-
periments made on diseased peach
trees. We have reclaimed several old
peach trees by pouring on the ground,
around the trunk, a bucket of boiling
suds every few weeks for several months;
and also using good quantity of ashes
from the stoves. Two ofthese trees are
now loaded with fruit, end thev were
nearly dead two years since.

Alfalfa for Lawns.

a long and discOuraglng struggle In Sc
curing favorable lawn that would Tor
the most part water itself, eradicate it's
own weeds and maintain good color all
the year, want to recommend to your
readers alfalfa. It's deep roots call for
very infrequent wettings; no sprinkler
is needed, simply one or two good soak
ings of the ground year by running the
water on it and moving the end OF the
hose every half day until all is wet. I'm
der the constant pruning to lower buds
by the lawn mower, it stools out in re-
markable degree, and makes very fair
sod, quite as good in texture and appear
ance as the clover sod East.
In coloring, it far exceeds blue grass,
and grows never yellow in spots or looks
bilious all over, as does that much prais-
ed grass in California. Low spots in the
lawn have the same color as well-drain-
ed areas, the only difference being in
rapidity of growth and it has for the
busy man the rare advantage that if
one can foresee time of being too busy
to cut it, he has simply to withhold wa
ter, and while it's growth is checked it's
color remains, darkening but still being
pure true G. een.
In winter, one cutting a week keeps it
in good form. In the spring two cuttings
week are needed. Through the sum-

Last summer gave mine good soak
ing about July LIST. For two weeks after
that it was cut twice week, then once
week, and in September and October
once every three weeks, and yet all the
while it was green, real green, and
uniform color all through, not four or five
different shades in varying patches, as
with bluegrass.
Gophers do not work in it any more
than they do in bluegrass, and they doit
less harm. Finally, it has the very great
advantage that if it gets ahead of one
through inattention and becomes too
coarse or too eT ect, you can let it go, get
good crop of hay, and then, with a
hoe, cut the soil not over an inch deep,
when it wi all come again fresh and
tender and subject to the pruning
mower to make it stool.
This stooling was quite surprise to
me, and is far more satisfactory than l
expected IS one walks on it, it looks
exactly like clover lawn in the East,
and it is only by getting down and feel
ing it that the long, coarse, fiat stems
are discovered.

seeds to the square inch, to get SOD
quickly, and if put in in April and kept
wet mot sprinkled). it will make a thick
sod by August.

but it is more satisfactory, both to care
for and look at, than many California
grass lawns. - A. q. in Pacific Rural
Press.
HAS the alfalfa ever been tested in
Florida? If it will thrive so well, and
with so short an allowance of moisture,
in California it would seem az if it should
flourish here and if it will flourish here
it should, according to the Califorrian's
account, prove valuable lawn grass.

That Road 10 Doing q Bigger Fair Bush
ness Than the other Lines.
NEW YORK, June 3.-The trunk line
general passenger agents at their meet
ing to-day are trying to find out how the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road has succeeded in beating all the other
roads put together in the sale of Worlds
Fair excursion tickets.
From May to May 30 the Delaware,
Lackawanna 6 Western sold $50 of these
tickets, the Pennsylvania 236, New York
Centr al 1873, the Erie 143, the Lehigh VAL
ley 90, the Baltimore & Ohio, rs and the
West Shore 70. The general passenger
agents of the other lines do not under
stand how the Lackawanna has managed
to get such an overwhelming share of the
business without paying commissions,
which Is contrary to agreement.
These Worlds Fair tickets are sold at 30
per cent. reduction from regular rates.
They are issued by special agreement be-
tween the trunk lines, and the payment
of commissions on their sale is prohibited.
At the meeting of the trunk lines execu.
tive committee yesterday the subject was
brought up, and insinuations were made
that the Lackawanna could not have OBJ
tanned such a disproportionats share of the
business without offering extra induce
mentsto agents.
No satisfactory explanation was OBJ
tanned from the Lackawanna's reprepre-
Sentatives, and the matter was turned over
to the general passenger agents, who are
trying to solve the riddle.

Success.
The four days trotting meeting at the
driving park was brought to a close
yesterday, and proved a success, finan-
cially and otherwise. It is understood
that the association cleared about 81 900
on the meeting.
The first race called yesterday was
the unfinished 2:45 class of Thursday.
1t required but one heat to finish it.,
ing first place. Fanny F was second
and William B third. o. D. s. got
fourth money. In the 2:20 class Maggie
7 was the favorite throughout, selling
for $40 to So for the field. After the
third heat it was suspected that Long
ford was being pulled, and as he broke
badly in the next heat, the judges de-
clared it no heat and put up another
driver. 1t had no effect, however, for
the horse did not trot any better. In
the 1888 Woodmont was the choice of
the betting men and won easily. The
