Floral Notes No. 2,

l should just like to say few words in
favor of a plant that has attracted my
attention good deal since it came under
my notice, and that is the Tabernamon
tana Camassa. Do not be discouraged by
the length of the name, but as have never
heard any other name for it than the bot
anical one must perforce give that.
This bush is compact and symmetrical
in shape, bearing quantities of pure white
flowers. The bush does not grow very tall
my largest plant being only two feet in
height and was several years old. How
ever, the late freeze damaged it severely,
and doubt if it will survive. 1t spreads
out at the top, where numberless flowers
are produced, and which are borne singly,
not in clusters, being somewhat similar to
the Cape Jasmine, and are redolent with
that exquisite fragrance which gives per-
lection to the same. The blossoms are
produced almost continuously and form
the most attractive feature Of the plant.
By reason of the extreme tenderness of
this plant l should recommend those who
contemplate planting it to either put it in
we'll protected place, or else plant in a
large pot or tub which can easily be re-
moved from its stand and placed in posi-
tion sheltered from frost or cutting winds.
l was very glad of that.
The Oleanders were not damaged to any
extent by the freeze. SO may expect to see
blaze of white red and pink flowers this
summer, as usual. 1t would be hard to
have to 60 without seeing such old friends.
The Hibiscus we're, of course, killed to
the ground, but I do not think that the
roots are injured much, and we will prob
ably have good display again soon.
The flower garden certainly looks very
bare and desolate at present, but l hope to
see at not very distant date profusion
of flowers and Towering shrubs again in
our garden. "CARLos."

cut the flowers literally; do not allow them
to 90 to seed until frost is near and you
wish to secure some seed. Clip as soon as
they begin to fade if you would have fine
plants.
My idea of the wire screen can be carried
out with any vines or half climbers Let
some of the readers try it with Sweet
Peas-they do best when trained on wire
netting. In a former article 1 gave in
structions in regard to making these
screens of lathes and cord. "AIDA."

Roofing Cuttings in Sawdust.
South Florida.


Not long ago visited a German florist
who had Cape Jasmine cuttings growing in
boxes of wet sawdust. 1t is a good idea
for our dry climate; the sawdust retains the
moisture, He packs it firmly around the
fresh cuttings. When they get to growing
he puts little good soil on top. The cut
tings had large number of well-developed
roots, we're as thrifty and as fine looking
plants as one would wish to see.

Twill our correspondent state whether
the sawdust used was pine or some other
kind of wood? We fancy it would be diff
cult to wet pine sawdust thoroughly
enough, owing to its resinous nature. ED.

some instances complete paralysis to the
pocket book, the latter article being
thing not easily dispensed with, even in the
LAND of flowers"
Now that so many fine and desirable
shrubs have been killed outright the next
best thing to do is to start anew; and as
many cannot purchase these plants again.
they will have to start them from cuttings
Slips root easily and thrive wonderfully in
Florida, and two years will restore the lost
beauty of your gardens.
One popularity of the recent freeze was
that it killed roses in many places In
Sanford, Fla, all shrubs were hurt very
badly, and many roses we're killed outright,
especially budded stock
To those whose roses have been killed l
would say, procure slips of the native
Cherokee or the Agrippina, and root them
Next year you can bud them with choice
stock, and 1897 will find your gardens
abundantly supplied with roses. You may
be able to bud them this autumn, if the
rooted slips have grown sufficiently and
are in proper condition to receive the bud
The Agrippina is splendid rose for bud
ding. and roses budded on this stock will
endure great deal and live to fine old
age. while the roses are just as abundant
when the bush is 20 years old as the were
in its 'maidenhood."
The Madame Stuart rose is an exquisite
sweet scented tea, with lovely buds and
foliage. 1t grows very rapidly when
budded on the Agrippina. 1t is a lovely
pink, flushed with yellow when grown in
sandy SOIL but to reach its state of perfec
ton it should be grown in dark soil or muck
land. when its pink will be intensified and
the flush of yellow will be salmon.
The Duchess of Brabant and the NAL
maison are also fine when budded, and
they bloom profusely.
The Perle DIES Jardines is another fine
rose that does we'll in Florida soil; in fact,
nearly all roses do finely in our State
Now that roses are so cheap would it not
be we'll to spend dollar or two and pro-
cure some from any of the numerous
florists who advertise in our newspapers
and journals. With some care they will
grow nicely, and buds can be taken from
them when they have developed their
beauties and become acclimated
The James Sprunt is a fine red half
-
fully in even ordinary soil.
The La Marque is my favorite among
white roses It has a lemon tinge and a
faint sweet odor. 1t is greatly priced for
cut flower work, and is beautiful rose to
use with purple violets in funeral Designs
The La France is another rose greatly
priced in Florida, and the Woodland Mar
garet is another favorite.
Seed is also offered at very low figure
this season, and all should avail themselves
of at least one ten cent offer. " The papers
and magazines are filled with these adver-
tisements, and our Floral Editor even goes
so far as to offer the seed free to scribblers
10 packets to each scribbler; and some
time since he kindly offered to send Sweet
Pea seeds to all who wished to try them. l
hope many applied, and will succeed with
them in our SOIL and give reports of their
succesr through the Floral Department.

The prettier and more graceful class of
ANIMALS must be, in a measure, protected
from the suns fierce rays or they will dry
up and lose their fresh looking foliage long
before the summer is spent. There are,
however, many ANIMALS that thrive under
any and all conditions, and that will bring
pleasure to the heart and eye.
The eye and nose sometimes take ofense
at the vulgar families of Marigolds, Four
O'Clocks and Zinnias, but they are really
very snowy and fine when properly
arranged. and they bloom profusely.
bed of Marigolds and Petunias is
snowy, and mound of Zinnias is very
handsome There are some dwarf sorts
that are largely advertised this year. and
have secured large packet. Last summer
1 used some Zinnias (raised from our
Floral Editors seeds), as border plants, and
they were a success in every way. Among
them was a fine lemon-colored specimen
that showed up beautifully in cut flower
work, in spite of its being what is known
as course" flower. Some of them were
wonderfully striped and blotched. l would
recommend them to lovers of curiositles in
the floral world. I myself do not care for
curious things in flowers unless beauty and
oddly are combined.
To make a beautiful bed of delicate
| flowers it must be made where no afternoon
sun can strike it. Make it on the east
and rich. A large square bed edged with
bricks. boards or bottles, would be best.
In the center of the bed set some thin
posts or strips of wood. and nail the wire
netting, so much used now, on it in the
form of a four paneled screen with the
center protruding. AS to the height of
screen, or feet high, is the prettiest
size.
Plant seed of red Cypress vine at the
first panel, and seed of the white Cypress
at the last. At the center panels plant
seeds of Climbing Nasturtiums, mixed
colors. always soak my Nasturtium seed
to insure its early growth, as they are
sometimes old, and all large seeds are
better for a good soaking over night in
either water or vinegar and water. l
always use cold water.
Now we will suppose that you have sew
eral boxes we'll filled with fine young plants
ready to set out Put row of Althernan-
thera, the green and yellow variety, around
the edge of the bed. One large plant will
furnish sufficient slips with which to edge
the plot. Then fill the bed with Candy
tuft, Mignonette, Sweet Alyssum, Chinese
Pinks, Verbenas. white and yellow Snap
dragons, Pansies, Torenias and white
Phlox, and your bed will soon be blend
ing of beautiful shades and delicious frag-
rance, while you can clip bouquets all
summer long. Such bed as l describe
is beautiful because it is harmonious. and
the shades are not bright. Delicate colors
and bright ones do not blend the best in the
world in flower beds.
Have bed of Portulacca by all means
they can stand the sun and do we'll every
where. 1 have better luck when 1 trans
plant the PortulaCca, but many sow them
broadcast They make a snowy bed.
Procure two packets of seeds, mixed, and

The electric road will be open to the new

on Thanksgiving day. So, at least. say
the Market-street railway people. Work
was begun on Saturday last, and nearly
400 men are laying tracks and putting up
trolley poles. There are two and a half
miles of track to be laid. This will be
continuation OF the Mission street electric
line, and will be two and half miles in
length, running from China avenue to the
racetrack.
1t was over the granting of the franchise
for this line that the members of the Solid
Eight got into trouble several months ago.
They granted to the Market-street railway
people the right of way contrary to law,
without advertising for bids, and an at
tempt 10 prosecute them fell through on
technicality.
There will be no changes of cars to the
new line from the Mission-street line at
China avenue. Whatever number of cars
of that line will be necessary to accommo-
date the travel on racing days will be run
on out.

transfers with the Fillmore extension to
the bay, Jackson, Washington, Eddy,

street transfers from the Larkin-street line,
connecting with the Suffer and Pacific

CH|CANERY AND FALSEHOOD ARE CHARGED.

as they will have no recourse against the
railroad company for freight money paid
in excess of the rates fixed by the com
mission should such rates be ultimately
adjudged fair and Just. On the other
hand it is argued that were such an in
junction withheld no loss could fall upon
the railroad company, for 1t would simply
have to resist the enforcement of the pen
atty for violating the order of the board
in reference to the reduced rates. In en-
phasiZing these views affiant asserts:
That there is no guaranty to the people of the
State that complainant In instituting said
action is acting in good faith, or intends to
prosecute the same to a final determination OF
the issues presented, or that the said COM
plainant intended or intends anything more
than TO use the injunction OF this honorable
court means whereby the unjust, unfair
and unreasonable rates of charges for the
transportation of freight and passengers now
in force may be continued in effect for long
time TO come, to the end that said complainant
may be enabled 10 continue TO extort from the
people OF California large sums of money in
excess of reasonable rates.
In supplementary affidavit Commits
sioner La Rue points out that, while the
property of the Central Pacific within the
State of California is assessed at about
SIS 5000 900, which figures are sworn to as
correct by the company's representative,
its capital stock and bonded Indebtedness
aggregates the enormous sum of $127, 299, :
500. In the case of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company the assessed value is
$17 000,0 and the capital stock and bonded
Indebtedness are jointly $l02, 035, 300.
But the most remarkable citation is
made with reference to the California Pa
cihc Railroad Company. It's assessed value
is $1,500000, and its capital stock and
bonded Indebtedness aggregate SIS, 825 900.
Under its lease with and to the Southern
Pacific Company it receives from that
company, in addition to the payment of
its taxes and the maintenance in good re-
pair of its railroad property, yearly rental
of 100000, or 40 per cent of the actual
present value. Similar showings are also
made with reference to the other leased
railroad properties within California.
Commissioner Stanton's affidavit is to
the same effect as whole as that of his
colleague.
The hearing of the Southern Pacific's
petition to enjoin the Railroad Commits
sion, which was to have been before Judge
McKenna of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday, was postponed for q week.

honor of G. B. Pioda, the Minister Pleni-

nearly 8 though when the guests had all
arrived and the Introductory cocktail was
served. Then followed dinner correct in

o'clock when the the serious business of
the dinner had been dispatched James F.

introduced his excellency Mr.. Pioda.
Mr.. Pioda addressed his auditors feel

more family reunion than anything else.
be said. He expressed his satisfaction at
the aff1uence of his countrymen and their
evident importance in the land of their
adoption, and told of his delight and sur
prise at the many beauties of California.
A short address by G.. Lepori, the toast
master of the evening, served to introduce
the other speakers. Their subjects were:
6. A. Antognoni, "Our Guest; Julio Fan
cola, Our Country, Switzerland; George
L. Cavalli, "The United States; V. Pu-

Several others spoke extemporaneously

with beautiful bouquet of roses, receiv-

ments in turn.
