A Box of Nasturtiums.

Nasturtiums often do better in boxes
than when planted in the border or
fiower-bed; and though I do not re-
member having seen them recommended
for winter blooming. I have tested
them myself.
A box of mixed varieties wins the ad-
miration of all beholders; the great
round lobes of leaves of a peculiar green,
growing on thin, long slender stems,
make it very ornamental, even without
the blossoms. But now february buds
and flowers by the dozen, scarlet and
yellow predominating-large, handsome
blossoms they are, too-make study in
color worthy the brush of an artist.
Each flower has it's own graceful stem,
some eight or ten inches long; and the
way they bend toward the sunlight,
both foliage and bloom, is interesting

The berries are about as large as average
grapes, and large proportion of them
are united in twos and threes. The
feshy covering of the nut is very bitter,
the kernel almost as hard as ivory.
Professor Curtiss secured enough of
the fruit to fill two barrels, which he
shipped from Planter, on Key Largo,
to Professor Sargent, who will doubtless
distribute them to all the botanic gar

The Dahlia.

The first Dahlia Of which we have any
authentic knowledge (Dahlia Superfua)
was discovered in Mexico by Baron
Hum boldt in 1889, and sent by him to
the Botanical Garden at Madrid, Spain,
where it was named Dahlia in honor Of
Andrew Dahl, noted Swedish botanist
and pupil OF the great botanist, Lin
naeuS.
The Dahlia belongs to the natural or
der Compost.
Since it's discovery, the skill of florists
in hybridizing has brought us many new
and beautiful varieties, both single and
double. All are pretty and are very
useful in making up cut-fower work and
bouquets.
They ought to be more extensively
grown than they are, as they are of the
easiest culture, and there are many
rich, sandy gardens that would make
splendid home for them; rich, sandy
soil and plenty of water are the essentials
to success with the Dahlia. The roots
are very much like sweet potato roots
and should be planted here the middle
or latter part Of February. The tops be-
ing rather tender, they can be covered
up on cold frosty nights. By planting
early we can have them in bloom in
May, and from then till frost they should
be full of blooms. II they get too tall
and struggling they may be cut back
rather severely. There are both tall and
dwarf varieties and they can be used in
various ways, either in beds by them
selves or the tall ones as center plants or
background for beds and borders of
smaller plants.
At the north they cannot enjoy them
so long as we do, as the early frosts gen
orally get them when ust reaching their
best.
They grow very readily from cutting,
also increasing rapidly by division of the
roots. Some grow them from seed, but
it is better to get good strong roots to
start with.--A. J. Seiders, Austin, Tex
