ual specimens do not look we'll unless of
very large size aud vivid coloring. An
artistic taste will observe harmony In
the arrangement of colors.
Blennials and perennials offer great
possibilities, as also do aquatics, to the
amateur florist in the far south, where
many of the plants which must be win
tered in the green houses in the north,
bloom almost perpetually out of doors.
The most supurb ornaments surround
ing the presidents mansion in summer,
are the gorgeous cannas that are not
whit finer than could be grown in Flor
ida with the same care.
The lantanas and plumbagos are
grown in great profusion and there are
immense beds of periwinkles in the
public parks. One who has not seen
them under such favorable circum-
stances, cannot appreciate their capacity
for ornament
Every public fountain is fringed with
parrots feather, and it's waters resplen-
ent with lilies, red, white, and blue
while the Victoria regia and Egyptian
lotus bloom in many favored spot,
while the minor aquatics, natives of
Florida, are cherished with greatest
care. These are repeated in the private
grounds of wealthy residents, while in
hunk bier homes large tubs filled with
rich dirt and water are set with Zanzi
bar lilies, and become "things of
beauty.
1t would be pleasing diversion to the
growers of ANIMALS in Florida, to vary
their culture with that of biennials, per-
ennials, and aquatics, for which that
state offers such superior opportunities.

but those outside were mass of bloom,
growing in poor white sand, for our
home is on high pine land. If planted
singly they will make nice little bushes
covered with flowers. Some of them will
not come true, but most of them will.
That is some of them will be the shape

New Star Phlox.
Washington, d. G.

Have many Of the readers Of the AGRI-
CULTURIsT tried raising the New Star
Phlox?" If you haven't, you have missed
something, and | advise you to send for
some seed this fall; for they are we'll
worth trying. When we first came from
Michigan, four years ago, we brought,
among other seeds and bulbs, q packet
of ''Childs New Star Phlox," and planted
them in a bed. They seeded, and the
next spring the bed and the yard around
was green with little phlox. We gave
hundreds of plants away, and picked
enormous boquets of flowers before they
ceased blooming. The next year it was
the same, but before there were hardly
any of the seeds ripe, the head of the
family instituted a crusade against sand
spurs, and besides several plants that he
didn't notice, he hoed up all the phlox.
When demonstrated with he said he
"guessed it was all right, the seeds
would ripen anyway" had my doubts
about it, and | do not know whether
they did or not; but | do know that
hardly any came up last year, Several
packages were received then, from Mr..
John Lewis Ch1lds, Floral Park, N Y,
and planted in the bed. But they were
planted late in June and had very little
care, so they made rather poor show.
Last December, when looking at the bed
and the yard around, noticed that it
was mass of solid phlox. In February
the bed was spaded up preparatory to
planting gladaoli, and all but the best
plants spaded under; these and few
others were planted around the edge.
In March they began to bloom. and what
show it was verify believe that al
most every color, shade, and combina-
tion, was re presented in those little stars.
They bloomed from the first of March
up to the last of June, with no care what
ever, all through that long drouth last
spring. Those in the bed did the best,
because they were fertilized and watered,

Planting ANIMALS in Florida.


Aus is season of great activity
among the growers of early vegetables
in Florida.
The fields in which they are designed
to be grown are being carefully pre-
pared, and some varieties of seed sown
in boxes of soil which are kept shaded
and watered until the earth has become
cool; and the seedlings are large enough
to transplant.
No one expects success in growing
vegetables without the needful work
and fertilizer; and it is quite useless to
endeavor to grow flowers of any kind
without observing these conditions.
The space allotted to flowers is not
generally so large, but that few hours
work in the the cool hours of the morn
ing and evening will put it in complete
order for planting.
Those who have live stock or fowls
can get enough well rotted manure to
sufficiently enrich the plot of ground
designed for flowers.
If convenient to hammock, or lake
shore, wood's-mold and muck may be
added with advantage, while the addition
of clay will make the soil retentive and
greatly enhance it's value for plant
growth.
Having freed the ground from weeds
and grass, stirred it deeply and often
until thoroughly pulverized, and the
added ingredients have become fully in
corporated with it, the hardest part of
the work is done.
The next thing to be done is to pre-
pare boxes in which to sow the seeds,
which are too delicate to risk in the
open soil. The dirt should be run
through coarse sieve in order to free
it from all hard substances likely to in
terfere with the young plants.
Petunias, nicotiana affinis, pansies,
and maurandyas, should be thus sown.
Cover them very lightly with soil, press
them in with the hand, and water them
with sprinkler if convenient, or stretch
thin cloth or netting over the boxes be-
fore pouring the water over them, which
will prevent the seeds from being dis
turbed.
To succeed with pansies fe low one Of
two plans. The first, is to sow the seeds
in boxes during August and transplant
them to the garden early in Decemb Der.
The second is to sow the seeds in beds
in October and let them grow where
they are planted.
Maurandyas should be transplanted as
soon as they are strong enough to bear
removal. For hanging baskets and
trellises they are unequaled and will
make handsome winter boomers.
Many kinds of annual flower seeds
should be sown in the ground as early as
October, when the ground and atmos-
phere have become cool and rains are to
be expected.
We believe that all kinds of ANIMALS
would succeed in Florida with proper
treatment. Even the sweet pea, man
aged as do the market gardeners their
garden peas, would doubtless bloom
satisfactorily.
There are some varieties Of ANIMALS
that will bear the hardest conditions of
