Some Shrubs for Florida, No. l.
Orange County. Fla.


Perhaps one of the most striking and
certainly one of the most novel and inter-
esting plants on our grounds is the Tree
Morning Glory, shrubby Ipomoea from
Brazil. 1t is not only so different in its
habit of growth from other Morning Glor-
les, but is such snowy plant when flower
ing that it instantly attracts the attention
and commands the admiration of all who
see it. It is shrub like, herbaceous plant
sending up from the roots several stout
canes, or whip-like stalks which reach
height of five to seven feet and clothed
their entire length with leaves. From the
axle of nearly every leaf appears cluster
of flowers of light rose color with Grim
son center, each from three to four inches
across and twenty-five to fifty in number
in each panicle. These panicles or clusters
are from six to ten inches in diameter and
on stems six inches long, from three to ten
flowers to cluster opening each morning.
Every stalk will be so surrounded that one
plant will bear hundreds of open flowers
each morning. and as they are very pleas
ingly fragrant great numbers of bees, but
terfies, moths and other honey-loving in
sects are attracted to the feast
AS far as can learn it is perfectly hardy
in all of the Gulf States if the roots are
covered with earth, leaves or some other
material deep enough to exclude frost. For
fear some of my readers may doubt the ex-
istence of a genuine self-supporting Morn
ing Glory bush, I will say that the unusual
heavy wind and rain storm of last Septem-
Der which blew down some of the largest
pine trees, failed to break down the wholly
unsupported stems of the Tree Morning
Glory or to check its wonderful foriferous-
ness. The freezes of the past winter cut
off all the growth above ground but it soon
sprouted vigorously from the roots. Its
proper name is Ipomoea fistulosa, but it was
introduced into cultivation two or three
years since, under the name of l. Goodellii
and as a native of Mexico; but in Mexico it
is only garden plant.
Another strikingly beautiful shrubby
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-07-17

growth, with large, tropical looking leaves
which are dull green above and dusty APP
pearing beneath From the axis of the
leaves appear compact heads of the most
exquisite white flowers exactly like minia
ture Camellia blooms, and of the most de-
licious fragrance at times giving very
pleasing banana-like odor, though both
stalks and leaves are i'll smelling when
crushed. The flowers which are like
densely double fairy roses the size of ten
cent piece. are borne in such a compact
head-the size of mans fst-as to re-
semble a bouquet of solid flowers. No
plant is more easily grown and here in
Florida it hourishes like a weed in the poor
est of soil. If cut down by the frost it
quickly sprouts up from the root and is
soon as Aourishing as ever.
A species called Turks Turban and
Sky Rocket-botanically C. Siphonanthus-
an East Indian species, is seen in almost
every yard. An old root will send up
straight, stout canes to a height of eight or
ten feet and densely clothed the entire
length with long and rather narrow leaves
which overlap each other like shingles.
Each stalk or cane produces an immense
terminal raceme of yellow flowers which
are not snowy in themselves, but they are
followed by very snowy red and purple
berries which remain on the plant for a
very long time. These heads of berries
become so heavy that the canes bend over
beneath their weight and sway back and
forth in quite majestic manner.
There are few more noble and handsome
objects than the shrubby Daturas, produc-
ing as they do, amidst mass Of elegant
foliage, large and mostly fragrant, trumphet-
shaped flowers of various colors. Under
the common name of Trumpet Lily the
beautiful and majestic Datura arborea or
Brugmansia suaveolens, as it is varlously
called. is grown in the yards of most Flor
idians. 1t must have been this species
which Bishop Heber had in mind when he
wrote:
"The giant Datura bears her breast
OF fragrant SCENT virgin white.
pearl amidst the realms of night
In this climate it often grows for years
in succession without being cut down by
frost, attaining great size and producing
great quantities of its pure white and ex-
quisitely fragrant flowers. which are droop-
ing bell-shaped, a foot long and from six to
eight inches wide The flowers are borne
in such quantities as to almost completely
obscure the leaves and weigh the branches
to the ground. The sight of such plant
on one of our glorious moonlight nights is
simply enhancing, and the fragrance issu-
ing from the flowers will perfume whole
yard.
There is double lowered sort which is
more rarely seen. The plant is of about
the same habit and size, but the leaves are
of much deeper, darker green and of
velvety texture. The flowers are cream
white and very double, looking, as someone
has said, like very full petticoat drawn
inside of a narrow one. The recently in
troduced D. Cornucopia, or Horn of
Plenty" also thrives here and contrasts
finely with the others.

Near to Nature.

Are you wearied, full of care, over
burdened with the duties of the day? Then
put on your hat, and quietly slip away
from everyone and take walk when the
afternoon shadows are lying long across the
grass, and be alone for a time with nature
in the heart of the woods. There is a
pleasure in the painless wood" one of the
poets has said, but one must be a true
lover Of nature to find it. There are scenes
for the eye and sounds for the ear that are
unnoticed by many while others take note
of seemingly trivial things. observing how
each in its place helps to make one har-
monious whole.
How pleasant to seat ones self at the
foot of some friendly tree; where the ground
around you is covered thickly with the
fragrant brown straw and cones, and listen
to the sounds that might fall upon the ear
SO agreeably SO tremendously, that turbul
ent thoughts are banished and peaceful
calm pervades ones whole being.
There are musical sounds overhead-the
music of the winds among the pines. All!
who can fully describe it save those who
have listened to it, have felt its magic spell?
Afar off is gentle signing sound sweeping
nearer, nearer, then the green boughs
above begin to sway. and the music is
filling the air, now falling, now rising, soft
and low, now swelling and sweeping away
tha than 6xyi1 in,
the distance in soothing cadence. only to
be repeated again and again in the same
signing. murmuring swells. Delightful
sound! lulling to the ear and restful to the
tired brain!
There are other sounds, too, that chime in
SO harmoniously-a whirr of wings above
you, and lone crow flies restlessly about
from tree to tree, and his plaintive cav!
cav! cav! repeated at short intervals, is
answered by another far away and out of
sight and seemingly but a distant echo
Some where near by the little birds are
holding concert of their own, but they
do not keep time very we'll, and in but one
thing do their voices accord-the happiness
that gushes forth with each sweet note.
These are some of the sounds that charm
the ear, the eye delights itself in the form,
color and contour of the various objects in
the landscape. The observant eye notes
with pleasure the level or gently rolling
land; the grassy knolls; the tiny ponds rip
pling and shimmering in the rays of the set
ting sun, the picturesque beauty of the
gnarled old oaks. and the delicate colors
that above them all are ever blending
and changing, and identifying the sunset
sky.
But as the poet Moore has said of
Fancy"
s''Tis the mental medium it shines through
That lends to beauty all it's charms and hue
So all would not be impressed alike with
what one sees or hears in nature. What
strikes one agreeably would be common
place enough to another; some cannot gaze
upon a beautiful flower but what train of
thoughts is awakened by its matchless color,
the texture and softness of its petals, the
delicate penciling so deftly traced by ma
lures own finger, all telling of the love of
benefcent Creator for the beautiful, and
for us in so adorning this garden spot of
oure Co in drawing near to nature we

extensions of the company's Montana
system have been completed, and the
message sent by Mr.. Murray was the
first to go over the new lines, being
repeated by the Western Union. This
means that 145 miles of double cir
Quilted lines are now in condition for
the transmission Of messages. ana
communication has been established
between Helena and Great Falls, and
Butte and Helena via the Basin route.
The completion of the last named eX-
tension gives two separate lines be-
tween Butte and Helena. The Great
Falls extension is 105 miles in length,
while the Basin route covers forty
miles. This work has claimed the at
tention of the company for some time
past, and now that it is completed il
is anticipated that more Utah extern
sionS will receive consideration at the
hands of the company, although this
territory has already secured some i'm
portant and at the same time extern
sive improvements. There are a num-
Der of changes on the tapis, however,
and it is not at all unlikely that the
board of directors will take favorable
action in the very near future.
These extensions just made in Mon
tana will be the cause of opening I'D
some very valuable territory and 1t is
anticipated by the company that the
revenues of the lines will be hand
some. Upon the completion of the
line VI Murray engaged in a great
celebration and threw the systems
open for the gratuitious use of the
public. The gentleman will remain in
the north for some little time yet and
probably make the necessary arrange
ments for the work in the Occur

move. There are still some details to
adjust, but the matter has been prac-
tically arranged and the reduction will
be made by every bank in the city ex-
cept one, and probably that also will
swing into line before the date of the
change The form of the notice to de-
positors is now claiming the attention
of the prime movers in the innovation
Those bankers who are taking part
in the coming change in interest pay
ments cling to the same statement
made by them when the matter was
first preached. They are unable, they
say, to stand up against the competi
ton of cheap eastern money and con
tinue to make interest payments to
depositors of s per cent. compounded
quarterly. At present the banks are
not making reasonable earnings on
their capitals and a change must
speedily come.

FIRST MACHINERY RECEIVED.
Citizens Electric Light Company Is
Rushing Things In.


All told, six carloads of materials and
machinery for the Citizens Electric
Light company have been received in
this city, three of them coming in yes
terday. Included in the shipments
now on the ground are the dynamos,
or, at least, part of the total number,
two loads of copper wire for the out
side construction and fire brick for the
boilers and furnaces. There are sew
eral more loads yet on the road and
their receipt is anticipated hourly. The
company is doing all in its power to
rush things ahead and the present in
dicationS are that the plant will be
installed within the time originally
terprise, which is destined to bring
the price of electric lighting down
very materially, say those interested.
Mr.. Boettcher is still in the city SUI
perintending the erection of the power
plant and the construction of the out
side system, and he announced yester-
day afternoon that the stringing of
the wire would commence in very ear
nest this morning along all of
the streets which have been COW
cred by the poles of the company.
Meanwhile the erection of the poles
is steadily going en-. large force of
workmen being in the field. There is
a strong probability that when the
company commences the Stringing of
its permanent wires that the trouble
with the telephone company and the
pioneer electric company will come
to the front. These two last named
companies have combined on the use
of poles, and one line is to do for the
stringing of both sets of wires. While
the statement is not made officially,
yet it is understood that this move
was made partially if not wholly with
the view of shutting the Citizens COM
pany out of the field, or at least pre-
vent it from perfecting its system
along the principal business streets.
Should there be any trouble, legal
complications will be the result.
