Roses on the Lawn.

Quite pleased was | with the article in
the Aug. 23rd number, on 'Lawns in
Florida" for what is more refreshing
during our warm summer days than a
sight of the cool, green grass, and Ber-
muda is as pretty, when growing well,
as any Northern lawn. Have your flower
beds on the lawn, too; of course it will
take time and patience to weed out the
grass that will persist in getting in the
bed.
A pretty bed of Roses is delight to
others as well as myself, with this pretty
green border. In the bed are ten Grim
son Roses, Agrippina with a border of
the little rose colored Button Rose Madam
Lawrence, and the green Bermuda out
side of this is pretty sight indeed.
Agrippina and Mad. Lawrence are con-
tinually in bloom; the bed is trimmed
often to keep the bushes in shape.
The Polyantha or Fairy Roses make
quite good sized bushes here in the South,
and are such profuse boomers, at least

Alamanda Henderson,.

Three years ago this coming October
saw, for the first time, in friends yard,
this glorious plant. 1t was trained as a
shrub and then had but one blossom and
[ went into raptures over the great
brown-throated yellow flower. My
friend said, "next June will give you a
cutting" "But why not now" |
queried. Because now you cannot root
it-you can only do this in June" |
pleaded, however, and obtained the prec-
ious cutting then, with an emphatic as
surance from my experienced friend
that no coaxing would make it root at
that season.
Taking the cutting home | obtained a
violet-blue glass bottle; filled it nearly
FULL of water, dropped in some bits of
charcoal, placed in it my cutting and
hung it to an outside wall where it got
the sun part of the time. In three
weeks the white, thread-like rootlets had
put out so that transferred the plant to
a pot of SOIL By spring it had made
quite little growth when | removed it
from the pot to the northeast angle of
two walls where it is now proudly tlaunt-
ing it's great golden, banner-like bios
SONS.
Last year it bloomed for months; it
has now (middle of july been Towering
for many weeks, a thing of beauty and
Joy to all beholders. Ihave trained it as
a vine to the side of the house, it runs
riot to the caves of the piazza, reaches
across the window and measures over
seventy-five feet in all it's branches.
Did any of our fower-loving friends
ever try roofing cuttings IN blue glass :?
If have no blue bottle or jar | take
pint jar and paint it on the outside with
cobalt and just enough carmine or GRIM
son lake mixed in to give rich violet
tint, set it aside a few days to dry, then
put in rain water, charcoal and cutting.
Almost everything roots; | have sew
eral trees in my yard from ten to twelve
feet high, which [ started three or four
years ago in this way.
The effect of color on both animal and
plant life is truly wonderful A year or
so ago medical college was legally es-
tablished in New York City, called the
college of Fine Farces, in which sun
light passing through different colored
glass lenses is applied to the cure of dis
eases with almost magical success and
no after effect of drug poison. l have
found by careful experiment that color
may be applied to plant life as we'll.

torture, the carpenter his foot rule, and
the farmer plants it for hedges to divide
his fields. Some articles which are man
ufactured from it are books, paper, pen
Gil holders, the latticed coverings for
windows, skewers to fasten the hair, chop
sticks, undershirts, hats, cages for birds,
bees, shrimps, fish, grasshoppers, and in
deed every cageable thing. 1t lends it's
self to the manufacture of musical in
struments, the pith being removed from
the stems leaves them hollow, and they
are converted into flutes, pipes, flies and
the reed of native organs.
The leaves are made into rain-cloaks
for farmers and sailors, are used for lin
ings to tea boxes, made into thatch for
awnings over boats, and plated into i'm
mense umbrellas to shield the huckster
and his wares from the sun and rain.
When building house of two stories, the
entire lot is generally covered by frame
work of Bamboo poles and ''attap," as
this leaf covering is called, tied together
with rattan, and protecting the work
men from the weather.
A score or two of Bamboo poles for
ioists and rafters, fifty fathoms of rattan
ropes, with plenty of palm leaves, is suffi-
cient material for a common dwelling in
the southern part of China. The floors
are made of split stems Of large diameter
and the entire cost is about five dollars.
Japanese fans are made of single
stock of this plant, the handle being
whole and the ribs finely split from it.
The delicate plated covering which is
seen on tiny cups and saucers of porce
lain, is made from this same plant.
1t is generally believed that the various
kinds of Palms are of greater value to
mankind than any other vegetable pro-
duction, but DR.. Williams in his book
styled '"rhe Middle Kingdom" says,
"Throughout the south of Asia the BAN
boo enters into the daily life of the people
in their domestic economy, more than
any one thing in any part of the world.
The seeds of some species are prepared
and eaten as rice, and are both palatable
and nutriCiOus.'
DIR. Gray mentions only two species;
these are called large and small cane.
and a variety forms what is called the
break of the South. Their habitat
is from Virginia southwark, and as far
northwest as Illinois.

The Bamboo Plant.

with it's common name, Bamboo, is a
true grass, and in countries where it is
indigenous it is converted to such a vari-
ETY. of uses that one might well believe
that this one plant is sufficient in itself
to support the people.
1t spreads rapidly, the root being a
rhizoma or jointed subterranean rootstalk
which throws up large number ofshoots
sometimes as many as a hundred These
stalks, or culms, as the stems of grasses
are styled, attain height Of from fifty
to one hundred feet, erect, in all but one
species, Bambusa agrestis, and entirely
without branches until the full height is
reached when it throws out straight, hor-
izontal branches from the upper part,
forming dense thicket with it's feathery
sprays. The culms vary in diameter,
from the small ones, from which pencils
are made, to ten or twelve inches, and
one specie, Bambusa Guadua, native
of New Grenada, is frequently sixteen
inches in diameter The shoots form
beautiful groves, if care be taken to cut
down the old stalks and not let them
flower and 60 to seed, for if allowed to do
so they die down to the root like other
grasses.
We are accustomed to consider the
grasses as primarily useful to cattle, but
the bamboo in it's various species is de-
cidedly an exception. The tapering
culms are iointed and hollow, containing
a light spongy pith, except at the joints
where there are strong partitions which
divide them into nearly equal sections.
They vary much in the thickness of the
woody portion, and the very outside in
all the species is remarkably sllicous.
The Bambusa tabacari is so hard that
it strikes fire when the Ratchet is applied
to it, 1t is polished and made into pipes
and pipe bowls. This particular species
is native of Java.
All parts of the plant are extremely
useful in various ways. The roots are
carved into ingenious and fantastic i'm
ages and stands, or divided into divining
blocks to learn the will of the gods, or
made into lantern handles, umbrella
sticks and canes. The uses to which the
culms are applied are almost innumer-
able, beginning with the young shoots
which come out of the ground, at nearly
their full size from four to six inches in
diameter. These are cut and boiled as
asparagus, or picked in vinegar, or pre-
pared as comfts. From the joints of the
old culms is extracted "tabasheer," a
secretion composed of silica and potash,
with perhaps little vegetable matter.
This is sold by the Buddhists priests as
a panacea for all the ellis the flesh is
heir to- In powdered condition it is
chewed with the betel to renovate the
constitution. The stalks when fully
grown, are used for the props and pillars
of houses, the framework of awnings,
the ribs of mat-sails, the shafts of rakes
or other tools, poles for every purpose
frames, ribs of umbrellas, and fans.
water vessels, water pipes. gill and pint
measures and water wheels. The split
culms are made into furniture of every
description; screens, curtains and brooms
coverings for tea chests and sugar boxes,
and twisted into ropes The shavings
and curled threadv fihreS are converted
