Vines.

This summer l have cultivated only two
vines, owing to the lateness of planting.
but l have been amply rewarded for my
pains. | chose the Ipomoea Leari and the
Balsaminea Momordica, (Balsam Cucum-

The Leari, or Dawn flower as it is some
times called, is the most satisfactory of
vines It's blossoms are much larger than
the ordinary class of morning glories, they
are an exquisite deep sky blue. and when
grown in the shade they are the loveliest
shade of purple. of an exquisite velvety
appearance.

The balsam is very attractive when grown

The Gaillardia.

Come, behold the works Of the Lord !;
what desolations He hath made in the
earth" AS in those sad mornings of last
winter we looked with awe upon our black
ened gardens, we might we'll have quoted
the psalmist thus; or asked with lob. "who
can stand before His cold ? But already
He has graciously smiled again, in spring
ing plant and favoring season.
Not since that sharp lesson that cost our
brilliant tangerines, has our little domain
shown another such compensation in color
as in our clump-much more than a yard
broad-of gaillardias; coarse, sturdy, effect
i've and enduring. We have had from them
many weeks of bloom; golden and sulphur
yellow, blood-red, bronze - these hues
blended and mixed in single and double
flowers The blossoms have proved adj
mirable church goers, standing firm in
water through the summer heat, from Sat-
urday night to close of Sunday evening SER
vice (then often going welcomly home with
one person or another, to brighten awhile
whatever surroundings in which they we're
placed).
1t was while we were but tourists in the
South that we first saw these snowy gail
lardias, and noticed in hotel garden their
long continuance. We owe our present de-
light of them to their character of profuse
seeding and great vitality; for our parent
plants were lifted in summer from friend
lawn in town, where they had sprung as
wind or bird had sown, and were blossom
ing persistently. With choicer sorts grow
ing about them, it was natural that our
hostess should half deprecate our taste in
this transplant1ng; but the result has fully
credited, with us and our neighbors, their
removal hither.
In dealing closely with cut flowers in
successive summers here, one comes to ap-
preciating stiff stem, las also all foliage
that does not quickly wither), for this as
we'll as their constant glow, and for their
spicy, wholesome odor-old fashioned-we
commend gaillardias 10 all gardeners who
have not tried them; it is true that the old
plants completely pass but they can be re-
lied upon to repeat themselves, and to
bring large increase. These and coreopsis
have been this year the retrieving bright
ness of our grey and sore stricken flower

Two Fine Hedge Roses.
Orange county, Fla.


There are two ngle-howeredro which
are extensively employed in Florida, and
other portions of the South, to form de-
fensive hedges of great beauty. They are
the Cherokee rose ROSA Sinica) and the
Mccartney or Chickasaw rose (R. brac-
teata) Both are Asiatic species. but there
exists no record of when the Cherokee was
introduced into this country nor how it
broke away from the garden and made it
self at home in Georgia and spread through
the other Southern states 1t was natural
lied in this country so early that the bot
anist Michaux pronounced it indigenous
more than 100 years ago, and it is today
considered by many native of the South
So thoroughly naturalized has it become
in the land of its adoption that it is seen
along the highways, forming high hedges
which become at length lofty thickets
twenty to thirty feet thick and absolutely
impenetrable. No more beautiful spectacle
can be imagined than hedges of this rose

tons, or bordering a long vista of road or
lane, with its rampant growth and myriads
of exquisitely beautiful, single, white flow
ers.
The flowers are of the purest waxy white

golden fluffy stamens in the center, and so

bursting into bloom are the most exquisite
things imaginable, the calyx being thickly
beset with fine, straight, long prickles at
the base, which make them look much
like Moss rose buds. The stout, woody

The Result of "Our Plan"

AHO AOO0uIV VI OuI l. lduI
We began to sow seeds of quick growing
ANNALS, as soon as convenient after the
disastrous freeze of last February, in order
to hide as far as possible the wreck made
by the extreme cold which had not only
cut down all of our tender shrubs and
plats but the harder ones as we'll

and a large supply of seeds was ordered
from Pike &, Ellsworth Jessamine, Fla ,
which was planted in beds along the bor-
ders of the rose walk" After sowing the
seeds they were covered with the dead rose
bushes that had been cut down, which
made good fence against marauders, and
light mulch was given them of grass and
weeds to shield the soil from the heat and
drOuth that is sure to come to all late plant
ings At each bed was set a young castor
bean for future shade, and the soil was
watered every evening until the plants ger
minated.
Soon the heat and drouth set in, and we
grew i'll, while for many weeks the young
plants were neglected When able to look
them over we found the shade and moisture

covering, and full of its variegated and
beautiful flowers, as large and double as
small roses. The zinnias, coreopsis and
marigolds had long been blooming, as we'll
as the nasturtiums, but the gaillardia won
the white ribbon for it's ability to stand
neglect, heat drouth. and grass. coming to
the front with a wreath of snowy blossoms,
the finest we have ever seen, so rich in hue,
and so double.
The ageratums bloomed early and most
profusely, filling the soil where they grew
with plants for winter bloom from self
sown seed. Last. but among the foremost

best advantage. 1t seeds easily, thus max
ing it easy to grow many plants.
We planted as many annual vines as pos
sible, and found but one drawback. The
lateness of the season of planting caused
them to bloom almost as soon as they be-

An Ugly Cry Exploded.

Little has been said in the Northern
papers about the chairman of the Ken
lucky Republican committee, who led
Candidate Bradley to such a notable
victory; but If southern opinion is true,
John w. Yerkes, of Danville, KY, is
likely to prove coming man in national
politics. 1t is conceded that MIR. Yerkes
States senatorship to succeed Black
burn. but he has modestly refused to be
a candidate, and In other ways he is
exhibiting level head. For instance.
while in Washington recently, Mr..
Yerkes was interviewed by the Star
concerning the Kentucky fight, and
among the things he said we note the
following:
''Our responsibilities are great. and We
accept them. We must give the state good
gOvernment-better than 1t has had of late
-and we shall strive to do that. And our
comfort is that the men we have put In
Office are in every way capable of redeem
ing every promise we have made In their
name. Now, as to next year." continued
Mr.. Yerkes. I'VE have to consider the
fact that this year we had the cordial CO.
operation OF many Democrats. But as
they came to us as much because of our
attitude on national issues as on local
issues, why should they not remain with
us?" '"The cry of negro domination raised
by General Hardin failed with the rest?''

significance Of our victory as 1t relates to
the finances Is Its significance as It re-
lates to that. The Democrats depended al
most solely upon that cry during the last
days of the fight. But little circum-
stance that took place in my office few
days before election relieved my anxiety
on that score. Several Of my Democratic
friends had come in to discuss the can

adverse tide which will sweep II from
its stronghoids as chafr is swept away
by angry waters.
An interesting feature of the meeting
In the Academy of Music was the ap-
plause ELECTED by Senator Penrose's
strong plea for the organization Of a
company to equip Philadelphia with
elevated railroads. The senator pledged
himself to work in the next legislature
for the enactment of a bill chartering
such a company: as well as for a bill
requiring street railway companies to
provide shelter for their motormen, who
in Philadelphia, as in Scranton, are
forced to stand in an exposed place
which involves extreme physical hard
ship. From an outside standpoint 1t
would seem as if an elevated railway
system in Philadelphia would be a de-
cidedly advantageous and profitable
investment. The houses in that city
are in the main only two stories In
height so that the windows Of the up
elevated tracks and consequently nol
so much injured by this system of rapid
transit as are the properties in Chicago
and New York. That elevated trains
would prove infinitely more desirable
to travellers than the stuffy, slow and
miserably furnished surface cars in
Philadelphia to-day admits of no ques-
tion and it is to be hoped, in the inter-
est Of those who occasionally visit Phil
adelphia as well as In behalf OF it's per-
manent residents, that Senator PEN
roses idea may yet prevail.
The fight between the Traction cor
poration and the people of Philadelphia
is of indirect interest to every urban
resident in the United States, because
it's outcome may affect the policy of
street railway companies in other
places as WELL The question Of tran
sit is one OF increasing importance in
affairs. and in its solution
the people should not be slow to insist
upon proper observance of their
rights. ~ ~
