The OId-Eashioned Hollyhock.

There are very few old-fashioned gar
den plants capable of being used with
better effect than the hollyhock, althaea
rosea, both single and double. Planted
with judgment, the magnificent flower
spikes several feet in height and carry
ing a profusion of bloom have splendid
effect in almost any garden, for breaking
up formal lines in shrubbery, hiding
an untidy corner, or for the purpose of
forming background for smaller grow
ing plants, and in small lots the holly
hook is invaluable for the breaking up
of the formal lines of the boundary walls
or fence. There is a great variety of
colors to be had, rose crimson, to yellow
and white, and in the other direction
approaching purplish gray, and very
good range of colors may generally be
obtained by the purchase of packet of
mixed seeds. 1t is necessary to stake
the plants some times. but this should be
done as little as possible for fear of for
mality. The hollyhock is a hardy bien-
NAL, but will repay any extra attention
which may be bestowed on it during the
winter time, and likes a rich soil and

Roses for the Drawing Room.


Roses and all other flowers that can
be grown with long stems are now cut
with the stems as long as possible, so
that one seldom sees flowers grouped in
bowls and small vases as formerly, for
drawing room decoration. They are
more frequently arranged loosely in
great tall Chinese vases which are placed
standing about on the floor, sometimes
where portiere will act as background
to relieve and give value to the beauti-
full color, and sometimes to brighten q
dark corner: but it is all done with a
touch and thought which is artistic and
beautiful in the extreme. Take for in
stance one of those graceful long-stem-
med green glass vases into which few
exquisite roses, or beautifully tinted
Carnations are loosely and carelessly
placed, the transparency of the glass
showing the foliage covered with that
silvery sheen caught from the water;
it is picture in itself, no matter where
it may be placed.-Mayflower.

Flower Culture for Profit.

There is no doubt whatever that
fower-loving women wno are favorably
situated can get their pin money by
raising flowers and plants for sale. A
great deal of m oney is spent In all cities
and towns for flowers. 1t is necessary,
as we have before said, that one must
know what the demand is and how to
sell. The following, from Farm and
Home, although intended for Eastern

Some Beautiful ANIMALS.

We would advise the busy farmers
wife who, as best, has so little time to
devote to flowers, to give up trying to
have geraniums and pot plants, and to
turn her attention to ANNALS. She has
only to put them in the ground and in
one short summer they will give her
more in the way of wealth of bloom and
glory of color than will geraniums after
years of careful tending.
Think what possibilities of beauty in
few packages of seeds, such as sweet
peas, peoples, nasturtiums, phlox drum
mondi, marigolds and asters, and is there
any reason then why every flower lover.
during the summer at least should not
indulge to her hearts content IN bloom
and color?
The six ANIMALS named above [ have
selected not only because they are very
beautiful, but because they keep on
blooming and blooming until frost and
are all the while so prodigal of their
blooms.
There are many others charming
ANNALS; zinnias, petunias, and-oh! they
are innumerable, and you should have
every one you have space for, but the
ones I have mentioned should be accom-
modated first
OF course you have sweet peas already
planted; but it is yet not to late for the
Others, and here is what Mr.. f. Schuyler
Mathews, IN little book, The Beautiful
Flower Garden" says about poppies.
A garden of popies is almost complete
in itself. So great is the variety of
form and color among the flowers, that
it is difficult to believe that they all be-
long to one family. There are two types
of the poppy, each of which has a
distinct character Of foliage. One is a
plant of scraggly growth with hairy
stems, and the other is tall conven-
tional looking plant, with sharp pointed
or teothed leaves of very light, cab
bage green color arranged around a
smooth stem. From the artistic point
of view these two divisions are all
sufficient They furnish contrasts in
color and form at once valuable in the
arrangement CT the garden.

Children and Plants.

Iwould like to ask the readers of this
floral magazine to give the dear children
of the household a chance to raise
flowers for themselves. You will be
surprised to see how quickly they will
learn to care for them, and it will help
to solve the problem: What will we do
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-01

readers, may give useful hint to some
good Florida women:
Clematis culture is profitable, as
well-grown plant is beautiful and grace
full, and sells at sight They are
perfectly hardy, and nearly always in
bloom after the middle of June. To
grow thrifty, well rooted plants stir the
surface soil frequently. Good potting
soil may be made by mixing fresh turfy
loan with third as much we'll rotted
manure and as much sand. Place
crock in the bottom of the pot, and over
it place a handful of coarse potting
material. Place the rooted cuttings in
the pot and lay it across the pot so as to
cover all the stem, and fill with soil.
Covering the stem will induce roots to
come out and make it much stronger
plant. Clematis will take lots of water,
and thrive in a moist atmosphere with
shade from the direct sunlight. They
grow rapidly and soon show bloom,
which should be pinched off. A new
growth will at once come out and make
a much stronger plant. AS the plants
assume a twinipg size they may be
trained to sticks or Irvine.
During the winter the plants should
be given rest and kept in cool room.
A little frost will not hurt them. Re.
moved to warm room they will start
up at once. AS plant begins to show
signs of growth shake out an inch or so of
dirt, replacing it with rich soil. Bend
the plants or shoots back and forward
to avoid getting them too tall. About
the time of showing the buds stir the
surface of the soil and mix in table
spoonful of bone meal or any good
stimulant, but not too much of 1T, or too
strong. Keep an inch or two of old
moss, littery manure or something of
the kind among the pots to absorb the
moisture from watering and even things
up little in hot sunshine. The follow
ing are a few of the choicest varieties
Jackmanii, dark purple; Jackmanii
superba; Lucie Lemoine, fine double
white; Lady Neville, large lavender;
Henryii. fine large white, one of the best;
Gem, beautiful deep blue; Comptess
Lovelace, semi-double lilac; Duchess of
Edinburgh, very large, fine double white;
Fairy Queen, large, fine light blue;
Princess Alexandra, blue, white bar,
vigorous and fine; Lady Eardly, pure
red anthers; Duke of Norfolk, bright
blue, large. These are few of the
many beautiful kinds that l know to be
good. They are all large Towering
kinds.-F. A. Baller.

The stock may be increased by eyes,
cuttings or divisions. Cuttings taken in
spring from the old stock will flower the
same year.-Exchange.

Supply them with seed, either from
your own supply or allow them to choose
the seed themselves; the latter would be
the better way, for find that they en-
joy hunting the catalogue to find just
what they want. l notice that my little
boys, aged eight and SIX, are a great
deal like their mother in this respect
when looking through Childs catalogue
they want nearly every thing that is
advertised in it, but finally are satisfied
if they can have Pansiss, Sweet Peas,
Phlox and Gladlolus bulbs. There are
other seeds and bulbs that are easy of
culture, but these particular flowers
they remember since last season and
they want them again.
We so often hear mothers complain
that children are SO restless and tease so
much during vacation. The dear little
restless bodies must have something to
keep them busy and what could be
better than to furnish them with proper
tools and few seeds and get them
interested in gardening? Help them to
get the soil in fine shape to receive the
seed, but let their own little hands put
the seed in the nice moist earth ready to
receive it,
1t will be continual surprise to you
to watch the child that is once inter
ested in the work. The days and nights
are very long until theysec the little green
plant come from the seed they have
sown; then how they watch for the first
bud, and all the family are called, from
papa down to baby, to see that wonder
full flower. We cannot tell what beauti-
full seeds we may be sowing by teaching
our children a love for these things.
If your child succeeds in his attempt
to raise some of the lovely blossoms let
him have the pleasure Of gathering
them, not to destroy (there isn't much
danger Of that but to take to his teacher,
sick friend, to grandma or playmate
who did not have as good success as he
did.
My own little boys last season watered
and cared for lot of flowers during
very dry, hot season, when I could not
do it. and were so pleased to think that
mammals plants did not die; and this
year they are going to have some them
selves. They each had one small bed
last season but are planning to have at
least two beds for each one.
How much less trouble it would be
for mothers to spend little time with
their children that way than to worry
about their being on the streets. Just
try it, dear Mayfower mothers, and see
if it is not first class plan. In or near
a large city have no doubt it would be
q good plan financially, for there they
could possibly sell their lovely flowers.
You think, perhaps, it would hardly be
probable that children could cultivate
flowers fit for the market, but if you
could have seen pansies that my two
little boys cared for you would lose your
skeptic imme diately.
But if nothing comes of it only the
pleasure they will take it as worth try
ing, and the children will be happier and
healthier for the effort we make in their
interest.-M Zadia NJ 'Cullough IN the
