ton yields good return. From the
time the bulbs are received until they
blossom, the interest therein increases,
and a harvest of pleasure and beauty is
rcaped from the floral treasures The
lily in her spotless robes is the embodi-
ment of purity and loveliness.
Eucharis Amizonica is a queen among
lilies, and deserves to be much more eX-
tensively cultivated. Under proper cul-
ture it blooms twice year. 1t delights
in a rich soil with an abundance OF
water during blooming time. 1t thrives
in partial shade. A florist, who grows
this lily, says he withholds water entirely
cures two crops of blooms annually. He
even goes so far as to Say he never waters
it until the flower stalk appears. 1t be-
ing an evergreen it always presents d
fine appearance. The blossoms are SO
etherial-llke, SO spOtlesS and SO delicately
beautiful. It's perfume is not heavy but
Lilium Harrisii, the true Easter lily,
is extensively grown Tor Easter decOra-
lions. After it's mode of culture is once
understood it is easily grown. The bulbs
should be placed in d we'll drained pot
of rich soil, and then set away to form
root growth. They need d Scanty supply
of moisture during this period. When
brought out to the light, they should be
gradually accustomed TO the full blaze
of the sunlight. An abundance of water
and an occasional supply OF liquid ma
nure will repay in an abundance OF fine
blooms. Ii you have d number of these
bulbs it is we'll to plant at different peri
DDS, say four days or week intervening,
50 as to extend the season of beauty.
This lily quite frequently sends up the
second and third stalks, which bloom
very satisfactorily. Sometimes five OF
six fine blossoms are obtained in this
way. In this case it is best to cut away
the first flower stalk. What u wealth of
beauty is obtained from one bulb of this
VARIETY When in bloom it's blossoms
will perfume d large church.
Experience proves that early planting
secures the most satisfactory results.
True, this lily will bloom in June and on
yonder porch is fine specimen in bloom
at the present time; but the blossoms are
few in number.
Longitiorum, being a later bloomer,
will assist i'll extending the season OF
beauty. This lily iSnot SO highly priced
as Harrisii.
Candidum, known by the name OF
Annunciation, St. Joseph and Garden
Lily, succeeds most admirably in the
North. Here it gives the best satiStac-
ton as d pot or tub plant. 1t requires
rich soil and large we'll drained pot or
tub.
Auratum, the golden-rayed lily of ia
pan, should be treated the Same aS Can

that the true lilies Ohe various species of
lilium) do not thrive in the open ground,
under ordinary conditions In South Flor
ida. We are not prepared to say that
goodly number. of them will not thrive
here in the open ground, in specially pre-
pared soil of muck and sand in partially
sheltered locations; but consigned to the
open yard, under conditions where anna
ryllis. crinums and spider lilies (hymell-
ocallis) thrive perfectly, they are only
too liable to live a brief existence, or to
utterly fall to ever appear above ground.
In winter the tender stems are menaced
by an untlmely frost, and in summer the
bulbs are liable to be rotted by the floods
of water during the rainy season.
Still we may have lilies in South Florida
as we'll AS geraniums, and under exactly
the same conditions of treatment and
without particle more trouble. That
is by pot or tub culture as recommended
by our correspondent "E, - in an article
on lilies in this ISSUE From the state
ments there made. and from our expert
ence with lilium harrisii and L. candidum
grown under those conditions for two
years, we fully believe that almost, if not
quite, every species of lilium may be
successfully and easily cultivated here
in pots or tubs. Two years ago we made
a pair of tubs by saving flour barrel in
halves, filled them with good, rich soil
and planted half dozen harrisii bulbs
in one and the same number of Candi-
dunn in the other, covering the bulbs
about three inches deep. The tubs were
set in small latticed plant house and
regularly watered-otherwise they re-
ceived no special attention. All threw
up stems to the height of from two and
a half to four or five feet, surmounted by
large clusters of waxy-white, deliciously
fragrant flowers After the flowers faded
the stems gradually ripened and died
down, the bulbs remained dormant in
the soil until the following winter when
the growth and Towering was repeated,
and the same will undoubtedly be re-
peated the coming winter, as the bulbs
have increased in size and number.
Now anyone may grow these lilies and
probably many other species, in pots,
boxes or tubs, set on the veranda or in
some equally sheltered situation. A
single bulb should be furnished with at
least gallon of good soil to grow in, be
covered two and half or three inches
deep, have perfect drainage and be freely
watered, especially after the buds attain
much size.
To anyone sending us an article of three
hundred words, or over, suitable for this
department, we will mail fine large
bulb Of the true Bermuda Easter Lilly
Milium Harrisii). If treated according
to the above directions, every bulb will
yield a fine UNI bel of it's exquisite flowers
We advise a prompt response from all
who wish to avail themselves OF this
offer, as the sooner the bulbs are received
and planted the better will be the results
obtained. Articles may treat on any
subject coming within the scope of this
department.

Around the Lake.
Ohio.
ARTICLE Ill.

The lake has been OSClllatlnS DaCk ana
forth in height and depth through May,
June and July, but August has taken
sides with the showers, and raised it a foot
above the low water mark of April. 1t
needs foot more to float the boats in
some of the boat houses, and we hope to
get it before the showery season closes.
How restful to lie in the hammock
these hot noon hours and watch the
varying surface of the waters. When it
is calm the sky and clouds are photo
graphed in colors in its depths and the
pictures of the reversible trees and
shrubs on its borders are as sharply out
lined as the most skillfu of artists with
No. cdak could do it,
The wild flowers are not as abundant
now as in the spring or later on in the
fall. Reaching their heads above
the tall grasses are numerous clusters of
Rhexia Mariana. Five years ago there
were only here and there plant but
being fitted to these environments they
multiply rapidly and adorn our lakeside
with their large purple flowers, more
and more every year. The contour of
their perfect urn-shaped fruit is very
pleasing to eyes trained to admire beau
tiful lines.
Astounding and almost everywhere
CaSsia Characteristic is seen. They form
beautiful little oval mounds when the
plant has room and plenty of DOurish
ment, and their pinnate leaves that close
together like the leaves of the Acacia
family on rainy days, with their bright
yellow flowers make an object fit for
any garden.
We have three or more varieties of
Desmodium besides Desmodium NOBLE
or Beggar Weed. The flowers are all
purple, the legumes all tiattened and
iointed, and when they catch on our
clothing we call them ''sticktights.
Gray calls the genus "Ticktreefoil."
A delicate little vine running about
our feet, Morning Glory in miniature,
is Stylisma Humistrata. If Palmer
Cox's Brownies should set up housekeep-
ing | should expect to see Stylsma
climbing over their windows on No. 80
cotton.
Occasionally we STE a Goldenrod in
blossom, and the scattering flowers of
the Helianthus Angustifolius, the
Chrysopsis graminifoia and ChrysOpsis
gossypina tell us that the fall months
are near and gold will be the prevailing
color, no matter what they do at Wash
ingtOn.
Among other things that are around the
lake are the following:
Around the lake are roses rare,
OF Lilies pure there is no lack;
And maids and matrons just as fair
Or will be when they all get back.
Around the lake are hopes as bright,
AS full OF wish, desire and fate;
AS echoed forth from year to year,
By bashless sweet boy graduate.
Around the lake are hearths as broad
AS any reared on Northern soil;
And pitch pine knots full of fat
AS ever made a kettle boil
Around the lake are hopes dead.
Large healthy hopes grew
But now as dead and buried
AS that big gator Robert slew.
Around the lake are hearts as warm

When this tube is nflemed you hnve q rumblug sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness IS the result. and ulslesS the inflammation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be dis troyed forever; nine cases our of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but Infamed condition of the mucous surface.
