Fresh Water HOLSTERS.

Now, some say there is no such thing as
"a fresh water lobster. The Connecticut
newspaper man rises TO the emergency and
gives this in answer; Bennett French,
while fishing in a brook near the home Of
Charles Bradley, near Ioar found fully
developed lobster, over six inches in length,
which he captured and is to save in nlco-
hol as curiosity Few people have seen
fresh water Holsters, although Sid Victory,
tho veteran fisherman, states that he has
found a few specimens in the same brook.
The lobster is perfectly formed and is u
perfect likeness Of his salt water brethren.

sterilizing the air in the car containing the

The Date Palm Tree.
st. Petersburg, Fla.
concluded from last week. }

(COncluded from last week.
Has science ever acknowledged her debt
to the palm tree? To it she owes the de
votion of one of her most exalted servants,
the poet philosopher Alexander Won Hum
boldt who has confessed that his bias for
geographical study originated in the plain
tive murmurings of an exiled palm. To
him we owe the best analysis extant of the
impression made by tropical scenery upon
the western mind, and of the strange long
ing that fills our hearts for the breath of
spice-islands when we dream of them in
chimney corners when the snow is piled
SO high about our doors we cannot even
see the sombre green tops of the pine trees
Says he: 1.-The sight of a colossal
dragon-tree and of fan-palm in an old
tower of the botanical garden at Berlin
implanted in my mind the seeds of an ir-
resistible desire to undertake distant
travels" And he proceeds to account for
the sentiment of longing" then inspired
by describing the impression made upon
an imaginative mind by a palmery.
when we look down from the high gallery
in the bright MONDAY sun on the luxuriant
reed and tree-like palms below, we feel for
a moment, in state of complete delusion as
to the locality to which we are transported,
and we may even believe ourselves to be
actually in tropical climate looking from
the summit of hill on a small grove of
palms. Fancy associates with
every plant the wonders of some distant
region as we listen to the rustling of the
fan-like leaves and see the changing and
fitting effect of the light when the tops of

A correspondent in recent discussion
upon the effects of the freezes mentioned
that the common cabbage rose passed
through the cold snaps without sustaining
any injury whatever.
This has been my case exactly. Where
other and more delicate roses have been
either killed or severely injured, the COM
moner varieties, such as the cabbage and
that dark red rose that fourishes so luxu-
riantly in this climate, are coming out re
splendent in new foliage and masses of
buds
There is another common variety which
l omitted to mention, and that is what is
generally known as the pink cluster" 1t
is at this writing MAY 25) simply one mass
of bloom and is indeed a beautiful sight
The punches contain large number of
roses, sometimes as many as twenty or
thirty being on one stem. Of course they
are not large sized ones, but they are very
pretty and make large show in garden
just at the very time we need it most.
Though this rose needs slight support, a
single stake will suffice if properly set in
the ground and the rose tied to it in few
places.
A few solitary Oleander blossoms have
come out, but not enough to have any eff
feet. AT present we have few magnif-
cent specimens of Sunfowers out in bloom
nodding their heads towards the sun and
considerably enlivening the dreary aspect
caused by the freeze, as also do the Phlox,
which present quite blaze of color in diff
ferent shades of pink. with an occasional
sprig of white. "CARLos."

Experience with Dahlias and Other Plants.
Carlos" wishes to know who of your

them and did get some very fine blooms.
The hrst year planted them in large tubs
and took extra care of them. After the
first year they refused to bloom and the
next refused to grow.
have also tried many of the bulbs that
give us such beautiful blossoms in our
northern home. Last year 1 had one tulip
blossom. Roman Hyacinth also bloomed
very we'll, but this year got nothing but
leaves from either of them and manv other
kinds. Amaryllis Tohnsonii put in the
ground last year is doing we'll 1t had sew
eral blooms this spring as also did Lemon

through the winter never expecting to see
1t again, but it came up this spring and
grew in our northern garden. 1t grew I'M
der the grape arbor where | put many of
my bulbs. l think they do better in this
climate with some shade
Many Of the perennials and much of the
shrubbery were killed to the ground by the
freezes, but most of them have come up
and many of them are blooming-a won

of the early spring.

Taqueminot, budded rose, wasn't hurt

many of them have never bloomed since I

air, come in contact as they wave to and
fro"
Ay, and when we see the strange creep
ing plants between and feel the sickening
odors 60 over us, we can almost fancy tn
tiger crouching yonder and the great boa
hanging languid after his feast; but we
still never get the impression of the desert
palm tree within the glass walls of hot
house-of the desert palm tree resting
upon the lurid glare of the horizon like a
tattered green pennon that futters atop
some desert Arabs lance as he dashes
along the finty track of Sahara, ''robed in
her burning widow weeds " And, l take
it. it is only when we think of the palm
tree as the one bit of foreground to all that
burnt and lurid waste, the one touch of
kindly nature that looms through the sui
phurous mist, the one speCk of green in all
that red glazing ocean, the one drop of dew
that continually moistens and cools that
parched and arid wilderness, the one glim-
mering gladness which never mocks with
the sheen of the mirage nor shifts its place
with the whirllng sands-it is only when
we think of the palm tree under these as
poets that we are fully able to appreciate
the peculiar poetry Of its benihcent life.
Then, indeed. the gaunt Arab, with his
desert-riven face and his CHASTITY white
bournouse, and his gaunt wind drinking
mare, and his swift dromedary, and the
waving, rustling palm tree. are all of a
piece, all appropriate elements Of one I'M
rivalled picture-the picture of the desert
1--WE have seen Damascus, my beauty,
And the splendor of the Pasha there:
What's their pomp and riches? Why
Would not
Take Their: for q handful OF thy hair!''
-Bayard Taylor,
sings the Arab to his mare in the exultation
of his desert freedom. And as it is in vain
to try to entice the desert Arab into cities
and if detained there he dies. SO it is in
vain to try to bring the desert palm tree
under glass. 1t will not live except in it's
own free air. This statement is not true
ED. FLORAL DEPT.
And finally has not art as we'll as science
a debt to acknowledge to the palm tree?
"At Palmyra" says Chateaubriand the
date tree cleaves the heads of the men and
the lions which support the capitals of the
Temple of the Sun; the palm with its col
umn supplies the place of the broken
pillar"
But far grander and more weighty
structure than the crumbling marbles of
Palmyra rests upon the column of the
palm tree, All the temples of Egypt are
but heavy roofs crushed down upon the
graceful flowing crowns Of the palm tree
Out of Egypt came the rough-hewn idea
which, spurne1 by the quick Greek fancy,
effloresced finally into Ionic and Doric or
ders, and so among its other gifts, the palm
tree has given us the Parthenon!
$50 is the palm inwound with our art,
and poetry. and religion" So do all of us,
Greek and Christian, priest and pagan,
have to put on our green turbans and go
the pilgrimage to Hedjaz!
