Look once about in your home and think
of the origin of different things that make
your life and home comfortable, and you
will be astonished how many of them are
products of distant countries, especially of
the tropical zone.
In the morning while you sip your break
fast coffee, picture of far-off Mocha will
rise before your eyes, and the sugar with
which you sweeten it may carry your mind
to other regions. I am afraid your dinner
would not be quite according to your taste
if you had to do without pepper and CHINA
mon, nutmeg, cloves and all the other spices.
1 dare say that cocoa and tea are great
comforts to many of you, and vanilla is a
favorite flavor.
Rice is not only for the Chinese, but for
all of us an important product. How can
we protect ourselves against the destroying
moths without camphor? The chair on
which we sit is made of mahogany, the
seat of which, if it should happen to be
cane-chair, originates from palm. Dates,
figs, oranges, bananas and cocoanuts are
welcome desserts to most of us; and so
could name great many other products
which have made long voyages and gone
through many hands before they came to
cheer US.
But have you ever asked yourself how
the plants look which provide US with these
treasures? 1 am afraid most of US have
only faint idea of these distant friends.
Of course opportunities of making their &C
quaintance are scarce, as there are few
botanical gardens, especially in America.
Yet if you are interested in these useful as

those things which appeared as dead, and
debating whether to pull them up or leave
them little while longer. Luckily we de-
clded not to touch anything until we could
say positively as to whether it was really
dead or capable of being resuscitated.
At that time Hibiscus, Allamandas,
Tabernamontanas and many other delicate
plants, seemed to be nothing but lifeless
stalks, but now, as we sit on the veranda
shaded by luxuriant green creepers, we can
see the same plants leafng and poisoning,
many of them as large as they were before.
The immense yellow Allamandas, the gor-
geous Grape Myrtle and the brilliant scar
let Hibiscus, all combine to make display
that is feast to the eye. The Oleanders
scarcely came up to my expectations, only
a few scattered blossoms have appeared y,
though possibly we may have some later
on.

Hoya Oarnosa.


where space is limited, we prefer to
raise Towering plants instead of vines
But when we can combine two or more de-
slrable qualities in one vine, then we saw,
raise vine, and let that vine be the Hoya
or wax plant. 1t is named in honor of
Thomas Hoy, an English florist, and was
introduced into England from Asia about
the year 1900. In its native state it re-
ceives part of its nourishment from the
trees it clings to, its roots penetrating the
bark Therefore it should not be placed
in full exposure to the sun, but should have.
when possible, other plants between it and
the window. 1t bears neglect fairly WELL
and if given plenty of pot-room and not
disturbed, will bloom when three years
old. Give good light soil, well-drained,
and plenty OF water when growing Some
good fertilizer may be given when in bloom.
The leaves are dark green, thick and wax
like. hence its name 'wax-plant.' It is a
beautiful foliage plant, and few plants have
such exquisite flowers. Itbears its pinkish
white, dark-centered flowers in umbels.
They look like the purest wax, with drop
of honey in the center of each, while de
lightful fragrance pervades the WHOLE
co ntrary to the advice usually given, the
flowers OF the Hoya should not be taken off,
for they bloom every time on the old flower
stem. 1t also sends out buds each year
that will bloom the following flower sea-
son.
Don't cut off the long, trailing ends for
in time they put forth leaves and branches.
- The Hoya roots quite readily from leaves
or cuttings kept in damp sand, or soil that
has plenty of sand to keep it porous. Keep
in warm place while roofing. The Hoya
is an ornament to any plant collection. and
improves with age"
In the above article from a Nebraska
correspondent of the Ladies' Home Com
panion, the editor of that paper adds:
THE leaves of Hoya root readily, but
we have never known plant to be raised
in that way. Every cutting must have a
dormant bud to develop the plant. The
leaf alone is destitute of buds, and useless
for propagating purposes unless accom-
panied by portion of the branch"
The Supplement correspondent tran
scribing for this department the matter
above, is now experimenting with Hoya
cuttings, hoping to replace. in time, fine
old "wax-plant" frozen last winter. A
vigorous joint cutting of new wood is al
ready rooted in earth and growing well,
paler branch cutting of old wood has been
dormant for months in water frequently
changed, but at last is pushing at the feel
ers-probably stimulated thereto by the
addition of afew drops of spirits of am
monia to the water. The third experiment,
a single leaf, is fresh in earth; may it not
bye and bye, after tedious waitlng-form so
much root as will send up sprout there
from. 1t is this writer's impression that an
exceedingly large wax plant belonging to
relative, was thus obtained.
In warm temperature, good cuttings of
wax-plant should root satisfactorily and
quickly in bottle Of water. S.

one of the most thankful of them. After
having enjoyed the meat of the fruit, put
the stone into a pot filled with sawdust,
cover it not more than half an inch, then
water it with warm water mot hot) and
keep it moist and warm. In four to six
weeks the Seeding will appear. After it
has grown fingers length, plant it in
loamy soil and have good drainage, 1t is
very interesting to watch the growth of this
plant; each leaf is formed differently
Naturally we cannot expect to see our plant
fruit-bearing, as it would not find room
enough indoors to grow to the,requiredsize,
but the plant will grow and be an ornament
for many years.
Another plant, easily grown from seed,
is the Coffee (Cofea arabica). Get the seed
from any large seed store. The leaves Of
the Cofee-plant are deep green color and
resemble somewhat the Beech leaf In the
second, or latest third year the little tree

sweet blossoms and if good care is taken Of
them, by keeping them moist tn the help
of fine brush, you can have ripe fruits.
They look like beautiful red cherries with
out stems; in each of them are two seeds,
he Coffee beans. This plant requires
rich SOIL some liquid manure at times, and
spraying with lukewarm water to keep its
enemy a small white louise, away.
The third one may be a Tea plant
(Camellia theifera). Unless you are an ex-
pert it would be better not to attempt rails
ing it from seed, but to buy small plant
The flowers of this plant are beautiful,
very white and much like a Camellia 1t

Another plant better to be bought is the
Black Pepper piper nigrum), though you
may succeed perfectly to raise it from seed
1t has thick, heart shaped leaves and re-
mains green forever. The blossoms are
very queer, like a small round file. The
fruit is green feshy berry, which when
dried is the black pepper. The Pepper re-
quires manure in the soil and shady
place.
The Ginger (Zi1giber oficinalis), is very
pretty and sweet. 1t is not propagated by
seed but rhizomes. This plant bears great
to the Gamma but its leaves
are smaller and aromatic. 1t delights in
a sunny window and warm room. Towards
fall the leaves fall off The rhizomes are
then taken out and kept dry TIL spring when
they are planted again.
Another interesting plant is the Chinese
Grasscloth plant (Bahmeria nivea), from
which the Chinese paper is made. 1t is
not grass. as one might judge by the
name, but rather a nettle. Though it does
not look much like our common nettle, any
one may find out that they are indeed rela-
tives. by touching it carelessly. tits grown
from seed without trouble, and is quite an
ornament in the window with its beautiful

soil. Like the coffee it is troubled by all
