This record Of crops end prices proves
that instead Of being caused BIZ an in
crease or decrease in the use of silver
money, the price Of cotton depends in
every case on the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re
suited IN falling prices, and when in 4
few years with n increased crop prices
advanced it was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop wa
not larger Is compared with consump-
ton, which regulated the price. The
record further proves that in the year
1915, when the silverites claim that sill
yer was the unit of value, the price Of
cotton III the United States was lower
than at any time in the history of the
country. In view of these facts we
should hear nc more of the price of cot
ton as a reason for debasing our currency
by putting it on the silver standard.

The above was written some weeks ago;

We have never given the tuberous-root-

known Florida florist once told US that he
had tried them under every condition he

regretted, as they bear flowers of marvel
Gus beauty and brilliancy. But the fbrous-
rooted sorts succeed we'll here IN living
rooms or on verandahs shaded from the

exchange an article entitled House Plants
from Seed, in which directions are given
for growing Begonias from seed. The di-
rections were intended for Northern read
ers, but they may be so varied as to meet
the conditions existing here. To grow
plants from such minute seeds one needs
an inexhaustible supply of patience and
be prepared to give them constant atten-

be lost beyond recovery

House Plants from Seed.

There is no better way of getting good
supply of Primulas, Smilax, Cinerarias,
Calceolarias and other house plants of
which one wishes several specimens in
varied colors and markings. than to grow
them from seed In the first place, from
six to seventy-fve plants can be grown
from a paper of seed which costs no more
than single plant when purchased Of the
florist. In the next place, Seeding plants
are always more robust, and bloom more
profusely than plants propagated from cut
tings, and in many instances are more fra
grant. There is common expression that
house plants are more difficult to raise from
seed than other plants. This is true only
this far, that seeds saved from indoor
plants possess less vitality than seeds
ripened in the open air, and. while they will
terminate as we'll with good care as other
seeds of their size, they will succumb
quicker to unfavorable influences.
This last consideration makes May, June
and July better months to SOW the seed of
house plants than in spring. when most
people try them. In our changeable eli
mate spring has many cold, damp, cloudy
days, and unless one has the facilities of a
greenhouse or hot-bed, the earth in the seed
pans grows cold and the delicate seed
germs become too chilled to ever start or
in the close. damp atmosphere decay is in
duced and the seeds rot, or the plantlets
damp off," On the contrary, in early
summer the earth and air are both warm
and conducive to quick termination, and
the sunshine and free circulation of air.
