fine for chicken feed, it is said to be a
great egg producer, but | have never

to state that the seed makes good bali

in every yard, along a wall or fence, OF

and transplanted to shaded border, in
rich ground They will bloom a long
time, and become perennlals. Keep the
flowers cut, thus ensuring continuous
bloom. | consider them a very DESTROYS
class of ANIMALS. They do not die out at
the approach of winter, but live on
through the winter season, especially if
they are taken up and treated as pot
plants, when they will bloom the next
season again. Some of these pinks are
very beautiful, and all are fragrant.
| Nasturtiums are another class of an
nuals that are especial favorites. They
come in beautiful shades and blendings.
Sow the seeds on the east side, where
they will partially be protected from the
sun, SO as to keep the succulent stems
moist and cool. They slook handsome
sown in a border. They like moist
ground and if your soil is very dry-see
that they get sufficient water. The
Nasturtlum is fine for vases and boxes.
The climbing Nasturtium should have
background OF wire netting, through
which the tendrils may creep. They
require the same mode of treatment as
the dwarf Nasturtiums. The seed
should be soaked in water over night,
before planting.
For round bed on lawn nothing
would be Shower than thick border of
dwarf Nasturtiums. Make the ground
as rich as you can, and SOW the seed
thickly. 1t can be bought very reason
ably (mixed) from any Of the leading
florists, by the ounce or half ounce. Keep
ground moist every night, before the
seeds come up and regularly after they
are above ground.
The Saliva Splendens is very desir-
able class of plants, both for bedding and
pot plants. II kept partially shaded
they will make large bushes in one sea-
son. The purple variety is handsome
and hardy. The bright scarlet is known
as the Splendens, probably owing to its
vivid color. Cuttings can be made of
the old plants for winter boomers and

| The seed should be sown in shallow
boxes. | should have mentioned that
the nasturtlums slip readily, especially
in water. Many slip them this way for
winter house plants.
The torenia is beautiful, low grow
ing annual. The seed looks great deal |
like pansy seed. They require consider
able shade and are strong boomers. |
They have lovely, velvety blossoms in
blue and purple with yellow throat.
There is also pure white variety. The
torenia sows itself the second season and |

ground and can stand lots of fertilizing |
The pansy is something that will |

ida. Even if the sun never reaches |
them the heat of the atmosphere will |
cause them to fade away almost as

ages the amateur gardener that he or
she, as the case may be, will give 1t up
in disgust, and satisfy themselves with
few shrubs. Very often the shrubbery
will consist of a cape jassamine, one or
two crepe myrtles, and certainly an ole
ander. A person has to live out of Flor
ida-for number of years-to properly
appreciate these three beautiful shrubs.
But in Florida they are so common; and
often the only shrubs in the gardens,
that other shrubs just as hardy, should
be introduced if only for change in the
monotony of color and smell.
Florida is the successful state in
which to raise choice flowers the entire
year; and some fine shrubs that in the
north are merely dwarfs, attain mag
nificence of height and foliage in Flor
ida that would seem an improbabillty to
our state.

other places, few years ago, saw the

The camelia japonica is another grand

called the "queen of shrubs, as it is
such handsome shrub, lacking only
one thing, and that is odor. The Ca
melia grows into perfect trees, and pro-
duces quantities Of blossoms during the
winter and early spring. They gener

the red and white varieties do equally

return to the subject Of ANIMALS, which
is the chief topic of this article.
Animals come under two heads in our
state, viz, the hardy ANIMALS that can
stand the long, hot summer sun beating
down on them, and their more delicate
sisters that require shade and moisture
the year round to bring them to perfec-
ton and keep pure and deep the bril-
lance of their blossoms.
Some ANIMALS live on year after year
in Florida, such as petunia and snap
dragon (Antirrhinum). Even in the
north they are potted in the autumn
and are converted into pot plants for the
winter display OF window plants.
Strange as it may seem, the petunia has
developed into popular box plant.
