Flowers In Northern Russia.

An English traveller in northern Rus
sia writes to The Gardeners Chronicle
that nothing surprised him more than
tho universal presence of well grown
towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even in the cells of monasteries and in
the studios OF city photographers farther
north than Archansel he found such
plants as olcanders, crotons, pelargoni-
Ums and fuchsias i'll almost every room.
The double windows, go necessary to
keep out the cold, have draft tight
space between them filed with flower
ing plants, and it does not seem neces-
sary to open them for air during tho
short hot summer. From September to
June tho country is buried in snow and
shut in by ice. The average temperature
for January is only 10 degrees. The
July temperature, however, has an av-
e-ase of GO degrees f., which is hardly
to be wondered ct when it is remem-
bered that tho sun shines 20 hours out
Of tha
