 in Officials.

Baltimore, Sept. 27.-Reports have been industriously circulated during the past few days respecting impending changes that affect the higher officials of the Sea board Air Line Railroad company.

Curseon Hoffman was called to the ru- mors and he said they were evidently the product of the same malicious person who had been spreading such outrageous and ridiculous reports from time to time; that there vas no truth whatever in any of them and that the entire statement was false in every particular; that there was no changes contemplated in the man agement of the Sea board Air Line; that all interests were in accord with the man. agement.

respondent has had very poor success with
Tulips, and as have been very unsuccess-
full in my own attempts can heartily SYM
pathize with her and can quite agree with
the editor that they are but "a snare and
delusion." Tulips apparently cannot be
grown in Florida, or, at any rate, in the
southern part of the State. The reason L
suppose, is that they require a low tenn
perature for sprouting in, and as that tenn
perature cannot generally be had IN Flor
ida, consequently it is not much use trying
to grow them. I know of several persons
around here who have tried them, but they
all report dead failure.

out to see it. The bloom is similar to the
Royal Poineiana, except, of eoursesits size.
It is very beautiful and greatly admired by
all who see it. 1t has blossoms just opened

their edges and turning a rich crimson,
some have gone through this change and
are making pods, others where the bloom
has entirely disappeared and the seed pod
IS swelling. Why, we think it very in
feresting shrub. have its companion, the
yellow variety, but as yet it has not bloomed
and does not do as we'll as the Pulcher-
rima.
Another shrub I have has not doomed
yet, but is growing finely and is quite
handsome, called Sophora Japonica. Still
another. gift OF our kind editor, the Jeru-
salem Thorne is making beautiful shrub.
It has not doomed, is growing in very or
binary soil and grows very rapidly.
A very pretty tree near my Rose garden
is Cabbage Palmetto with the Halliana
Honeysuckle climbing around its "basket
work" and in among the leaves. Under
meath the tree, on the ground, is an old
oven door sunk in the ground, by my little
boy. He keeps it filled with water for the
birds and every day the blue-jays, red
birds, mocking-birds, etc.. will battle and
then some of them will fly up in the tree;
sometimes four or five red birds at time
will be on the tree, they look quite pretty
among the pretty blossoms.
One littlemocking bird charms us nearly
every day with his sweet song, and my five
little canaries are learning to initiate him.

Retrospective,
CARLOS.
South Florida,

Have you had any failures and disap-
pointments during the year that is just
closing? Have your ideals been realized?
Ah who among us ever realizes his or her
ideals? And shall our ideals be less lofty
because we have failed to realize those
with which we began the year? A high
ideal is rich possession Begin the new
year with lofty aspirations even though
you know they will not be realized.
How has it been along the line of Aori-
culture? Have some of your pet projects
been wretched failures? Console yourself
with the reflection that the most expert
enced florists have doubtless, had their
failures, too. l am not an experienced
flower gardener, and have had failures of
my own. They were not utter failures,
however, because of the lessons they have
taught me Every failure carries with it
lesson, Have you prohted by your own
failures by taking to heart the lessons to
be learned from them? Did that Rose from
which you expected SO much prove dis
appointment? Was the bloom of that Lily
far short of what you thought it would be?
Did those Poppy seeds fail to come up?
Did those Geranium cuttings fail to take
root? Did your Fuchsias fail to send forth
a single flower? Fuchsias will be just that
aggrevating sometimes, but never without
cause, mind you. There is cause for every
effect in Horticulture. Be wise enough to
carefully investigate the causes of your
failures. Perhaps the disappointing Rose
was not properly cultivated. The Lily
bulb may have been one of the cheap kind
sold at "a bargain. The Poppy seeds
may have been put too far under the
ground, like those of lady know, She
planted her Poppy and Sweet Pea seeds the
same day and at the same depth! Poor
Poppy seeds! Is it any wonder that they
failed to "come up" with three or four
inches of soil over them instead of the light
sprinkle of fine soil that they should have
had?
Let the failures of the past count as MOTH
ing but bits of added experience in the
year to come. Do not be discouraged by
them and conclude that you are not 'cut
out" for flower gardener. Beginrthe new
year with hope and renewed courage. Let
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-01-02

those of us who have had but few failures
do that, and let us add a little to the beauty
and brightness of the world in which we
live by arousing all the interest we can in
Horticulture. Forget the failures of the
past year. Look forward, not backward. p"
