The editor of a widely circulating floral
magnizine has sent us the following
quantity worded description of a shrub we'll
known in many Florida gardens which he

Oklahoma Territory. We have enjoyed it
and reproduce it for the benefit of our

How Shall I Build My Conservatory
Editor Floral Department:


Editor Floral Department:
have read with much interest the arti
Gle by your correspondent on building
conservatory as we'll as your own remarks
on the subject, as we had been planning
one in which to keep flowers all the year
round. hope thus to enjoy them more
than when they are scattered about the
grounds (which will leave for ornamental
shrubs to great extent) as we'll as to lessen
the labor in caring for them. Whether
this will be the case, I cannot determine
until the experiment is tried.
The dwelling house being sixty-fve feet
in length and no veranda. as yet, on the
south, l have thought of having a good
sized room built, with sloping roof par
tally of glass, adjoining the west end of
this side. A veranda may be added to the
house here, but it will not be long, and
steps might go down at the extremity into
the conservatory, as it must necessarily be
several feet lower than the porch. More
over, 1 fear the morning sun would be to
some extent shut off from the room, which
is reason for planning the plant room be-
fore the veranda is decided upon, or rather
before its exact location is.
The western part would suit my conve-
nience better, and would it not be we'll to
protect the plants against the east wind?
This protection would be insured. By
building it further toward the east it would
be farther from kitchen and dining roomi
the portion of the house occupied so much
of the time by the Florida housewife
A window opens from the kitchen on the
open into the green house, and would the
roof be about the proper heighth if it
reached to the top of this window. some
thing over twelve feet from the ground?
How highushould the outer wall then be to
give the proper slope? And should there
be sashes along this and at the ends of the
room? You see | am very ignorant
upon the subject, yet desire to have one
that will not require alteration as find
the needs of different plants.

have done to flowers and ornamental
shrubs in this portion of the State Hills
boro county,.
TO begin with, many plants that only a
little while ago seemed to be quite dead,
to the roots, are now March 25th) starting
out again and give promise of attaining
quite size again by the end of the year.
Of all the fourishing and ornamental
shrubs, the Cape Jessamine and Grape
Myrtle seem to be the only ones unhurt in
this locality, and they do not appear to be
damaged in the least.
Next to these come the Oleanders which
are scarcely damaged at all and are send
ing out shoots along the stems, their only
loss by the cold being the loss of the leaves
which are dropping; and l think there is a
fair chance of our seeing these old favorites
out in bloom as usual this summer. A
short time ago, while away from home I
were budded three different kinds, the red.
white, and pink, and when all three colors
were out at the same time, the effect was
very pretty.
The Hibiscus did not escape so easily
from the cold as they we're all killed to the
ground; but two or three have already be-
gun to sprout, and with extra attention and
fertilization this year will soon come into
bloom again. [ think prefer the single
varieties to the double kinds, as they both
bloom and grow faster and I like the sin
gle blossoms best.
The Allamandas were also killed to the
ground but are beginning to sprout. The
Allamanda Henderson, is quite largely
planted in flower gardens here, and is
everywhere admired. The Tabernamon-
tana Camaesa I'm afraid is killed dead and
will not send up any shoots. Tour plants
of T. coronaria fl. pl. have sprouted. ED.
F. d.
Last. but not by any means least, comes
that magnificent tree, the Royal Poinciana,
here before the freezes, but now, alas! no
more. However, the seed is plentiful and
fine trees can be grown in three or four
years from time of planting, and they soon
commence blooming when they are truly a
beautiful sight; the dark green foliage is
almost entirely hidden by blaze of orange
red flowers, which are supplemented by
long pods about eight inches in length and
almost as hard as iron.
The following plants we're more or less
damaged by the cold: The Mexican Shell
Plant was cut back to the ground, but is up
and foot in heighth by this time. 1t is
most desirable plant for Florida and does
best in low, rich soil where it will attain
a heighth of twelve or more feet The
Rubber Tree was also killed to the ground,
but is already shooting up again. The
same can be said for the Grevilla Robusta,
except that it is not so far advanced
In conclusion I would say that though
the outlook for our flower gardeners looks
rather black just now. yet think that af-
ter all we will have just as good. if not bet
ter, display of floral pets" this year,

hinged, and the whole thing can be taken
apart and put together by any woman ca
pable of handling a screw driver and
wrench. Of course it would be
necessary for her to have assistance in
lifting the sides and roof.
This continuance is designed especially
for people with limited space who desire
to raise flowers, and it does away with the
dirt and litter of window gardening. All
you have to do is to take your plants out
of your portable greenhouse and adorn and
beautify your rooms and windows with the
rarest varieties during the long dreary
months of winter, and make of yourself an
educator of taste and leader of refinement
as plants, when kept in a room, become
after time weary and pine for better
atmosphere, the tips of the leaves getting
brown and taking on a generally weakened
appearance, you may take them to your
greenhouse to be nursed and made we'll
again in its humid, even atmosphere.
My portable greenhouse is, as you will
see, quite small-eight feet wide and six
teen feet long 1t is wonderful the amount
of plants that can be grown in such
small space. The benches or stages in my
greenhouse are three feet wide, which
leaves two-foot path in the centre.
This greenhouse can be put on the roof
if your yard is too small to permit of its
being placed there. 1t is on the roof of a
two-story back building that have mine.
Another advantage this greenhouse pos
sesses is the fact that it does not become
the property of the landlord.
At present I have about one hundred
plants and vines in my greenhouse, and the
amount of pleasure and plant lore we are
obtaining is considerable. The adiantums
(maiden hair fern of which l have three
varieties. farleyense, cuneatum and gracil-
limum, are most beautiful. I never was
able to grow this fern in my rooms. 1t
would last week and then shrivel up and
have to be sent to the gardeners. Now |
bring in a mass of tender greenness, so lux
urious that one instinctively thinks of bosky
dells and ripping rills, and I have cen
trepiece for my dinner table that is thing
of such delicate fairy-like beauty that
everyone is made the happier by gazing |
upon it. After dinner back goes the fern
to the greenhouse none the worse for wear
to delight us in the same way the next day. |
I have palms. crotons and begonias that
are lovely passion vines and deliciously |
fragrant vine Of stephanotis foribunda,
with its deep green glossy foliage and its
clusters of waxy white flowers. l am for
tunate in possessing a goodspecimen OF the
latter as they are scarce. This IS one OF
nv greatest treasures. Suspended from
the roof l have basket filled with oxalis
rosea. This variety is prolific bloomer |
the flowers a brilliant rose color. 1t is |
we'll worth growing.
The amount of money spent in obtaining
this little structure is slight in comparison
with the benefits derived from it, the knowl |
edge of botany obtained, the healthful ex-
ercise afforded and the scope for expert
menting. There can be no more health
full exercise nor one which has more re-
fining influence, than that of cultivating
flowers -Lilias E Dick in Tenness Miller
