The leaves are not stiff, with thorns on the

planted late in the fall are the first to start.
One Greville robusta which was about five
feet high when transplanted, has strong
sprouts nearly foot in length. The others
show no signs yet of starting to grow. I

single variety, Is growing also Poinciana,
Bird of Paradise, Poinsettia pulcherrima

of the old established roots behind them
these shoots will rapidly attain to the size
of the plants which were so ruthlessly cut
niversaries of these blighting freezes, no

concerned it was a case of being more
scared than hurt.

OUT of the large number of shrubs, vines
and plants growing in our grounds, hardly
more than dozen are killed outright.
Even rubber trees (Ficus elastica and F.
aurea,) Poincianas, Tabernamontanas,
Plel omas and other equally tender and
sappy plants, are sprouting and growing
vigorously. We think there are two con-
ditions which we're greatly in our plants
favor. viz, deep planting and mulching.
We set nearly all plants extra deep, SO
there are several eyes below the surface Of
the soil. This is a protection ainst both
heat and cold and the buried stems quickly
throws out roots up to or nearly where it
energies from the ground. All Of our
grated roses we're set so the junction of the
stock and scion is two or three inches be-
low the SOIL and although the tops of most
of them were killed to the ground, they
have all sprouted from above the graft and
are doing finely. Last August we planted
out large collection of lantanas. They
had been growing in pots and many Of
them we're simply straight stems a foot
tall. They were set so deep that at least
ground, and although the cold killed many
of them three or four inches below the
ground, they have sent up shoots from
lower down; and they can probably sue
cessfully defy any cold that may ever visit
the State. They were not mulched but the
majority of the other plants were with pine
kept the surface of the ground from freez-
ing and therefore the surface roots of the
young plants we're uninjured But the
mulch was quite thin, very thin in places,
having been in place year. In the future
all our tender shrubs and plants will be
heavily mulched late in November or early
- Ill ~ -
thickly around and among the stems of the
plants. In this way we believe the stems
can be saved two or three inches above the
surface of the ground, even in such severe
freezes as those of the past winter, and es-
pecially if the plants are cut down below
the frozen line Immediately.

IT is gratifying to receive more cheerful
letters from our correspondents who but a
short time ago were in the depths of des-
pondency. Nearly all of them contain the
following words, or others to the same eff
feet; II am beginning to take heart again,
SO many things are coming up good and
strong from the roots, and will soon have
plenty of beautiful flowers" Only a short
time ago the cry was: Everything is dead!
dead!! dead!!!" Immediately after the first
freeze a friend wrote us that there wasn't
living thing left on his place and that he
was ruined in pocket and mind and when
he added that everything had gone to GER
tain famous locality where the temperature
is reputed to be constantly high enough to
transform the north pole into an equatorial
furnace, we judged he must be ruined in
mind" In March we met him and in
lost plants "Oh," said he with a sheepish
smile, they are all sprouting from the
roots" (the plants not the souls).
~
Now we never for an instant believed
that everything was killed, root and branch.
We could not see any reason why they
should be. Had the frost entered the
ground and frozen the roots as it did the
tops, the conditions and results would have
been entirely different. We confess it was

Two Toilet Hints,

To prevent mosquitoes from harass,
ing one, smear the hands and face
with pennyroyal and keep bottle of
that pungent perfume open to fright
en- away the pests. Once they have
succeeded in biting one the only thing
to do is to anoint the bites with am
mon;a, lemon juice or salt.
A sign of advancing age almost as
inevitable as the crease in the neck is
the gradual receding of the gums from
the teeth. To counterfeit this tenden-
cy an astringent tooth wash should be
occasionally used. The teeth should
moreover, be brushed crosswise anC

Men Invented COrSetS.

The much maligned corset was in
vented and first worn by men, The
earliest mention in the history of this
article is by Kristophanes, who lived
in the fifth century B. C. In one Of
HE comedies he ridicules a brother
poet, who, inordinately vain of his per
sonal beauty, was dissatisfied with the
shape Of his figure, which was far re
moved from ideal symmetry, being
mnch too thin for his height. He
therefore hit upon the plan OF improv
ing his physique by encasing his body
in an under-cuirass, made of little
pieces of wood. The idea was imitaterl
later by another man, the Emperor
Antoninus Plus, who found great diff
ficulty in persuading the Roman WON
en- to follow his example. e.
