Sub Tropical Trees at Eustis.

Editor Floral Department.:
The Royal Poinciana trees which I
wrote about in the Floral Department of
the AGMCUTURlsr of June 25th, 1890,
gre ", bloomed and bore seed until last
winter, January, 1898. when they were
killed by the cold. They were twenty
five to thirty feet high with broad tops,
and six inches, or more, in diameter.
My near neighbor, DR.. Pendleton, had
several trees, the best of which were
thirty feet, or more high-about fifteen
feet to the lowest branch. After the
cold last winter two OF them were cut off
at the ground, and are starting nicely.
Two others were cut fifteen feet from
the ground and are making splendid
growth. | measured these today June
12th), one was thirty-nine and the other
thirty-seven inches in circumference ten
inches above the ground. They bid fair
to bloom this year.
On my place have a very large Rose
Apple somewhat injured in the small
branches but growing finely and bear
ing good deal. Guavas lost leaves and
some twigs, but are recovering and will
bearquite crop. A large Mango lostis
branches but came out finely. A Tama-
rind lost part OF the branches; Sugar
Apple killed.
The Grevillaea Robusta is largely
planted in Eustis along the streets.
There are miles of them of all ages from
one to seven years and they are

arrived at home refreshed by our jour
ney, with the carriage loaded with flow
ers given us by generous strangers, and
sylvan treasurers gathered by ourselves
souvenirs of our country ramble, the
greatest of which were cuttings of the
vine whose marvellous flowers impressed
us so, some of which sent to a friend in
New York who is we'll versed in botany,
and who informs me that the vine is u
rare variety of the Bignonia Capreoata,

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
A Country Ramble.

n country hdmU1e.
We made up family party of four a
few weeks ago, and prepared for iaunt
to the country.
Leaving the city's din and hustle we
were soon passing pleasant suburban
homes by street that quickly merged
into the public highway, which at in
tervals led us by handsome modern resi-
dences, each with its own collection of
blooming plants, set in broad spaces of
unfenced land, the mo fence law being
in full force ia that section.
The ravishing perfume of hundreds of
Glove Pinks was waited to us from one
such home, the entire frontage of it's
grounds being devoted to these spicy
flowers, to the exclusion of all other
members of the floral kingdom.
Farther on appeared cozy farm
stead" of the olden times, whose we'll
titled fields Of cotton, corn, peas, oats,
rye, clover, and well stocked vegetable
garden in the background, bespoke the
thrift of it's owner. The dwelling, .
white exterior and green window blinds
and trimmings, stood in the midst Of al
acre of ground devoted entirely to the
culture of flowers, whose crimson, gold
white and scarlet were relieved against
the green background Of the Overshad
ing trees.
We turned into road diVerging from
the highway, driving past deserted
homes and falow fields; and where
fences had been it was grown up with
bushes interspersed with Dogwood and
Buckeye in the full splendor of white
and Indian red Hundreds of the Big
nonia radican climbed over trees and
A group of grand old oaks covered a ia
bleland that held a pretty country
church and its attendant cemetery. The
last sign of a human habitation disap-
peared. Magnificent pine forests all I'M
touched by the AK Of destruction,
covered the hills, climbed down the
slopes, and lowered above the verdure of
the wales. The hills began to break into
precipitous sleeps and deep hollows as
we approached the TobesOffkee, a bold
water course as large as many of the
Southern rivers, and whose gloomy
swamps are objects Of superstitious ter
ror to the ignorant Of both races.
Soon the rush and roar of its waters
greeted our ears, and the whirring of
wheels reminded us that a water hill
was busy grinding Indian corn for the
farmers bread.
A we'll built bridge spans the broad
eXpanse of water above the mill. Look
ing across at the trees and underbrush
that hang over the water on the thither
shore we espied a vigorous climber with
wonderful looking flowers, which ap-
peared at that distance as if one plant in
all that greenery was decked in the scar
let brown and gold of autumn.
We turned back as the sun declined TO
the west, shut in on all sides by the
