Ornaments for the Lawn.

A pretty shrub of medium size that is
easily grown and makes an attractive
lawn decoration is the Golden Bell or
forspthia as the nurserymen call it. 1t
blooms freely and early, having droop-
ing yellow flowers, the variety known as
the weeping forsythia being perhaps the
best. In recent years nurserymen have
paid much attention to the lilac and
now instead of having two or three old
fashioned varieties we have large
family of beautiful blooming varieties
that are worthy of place in any collec-
ton Of shrubs. One of the most valu.
able Towering shrubs is the Vlburnum
plicatum, having beautiful white blooms
appearing early in June. 1t will grow
well on any protected lawn. The spir8
family is one of the greatest favorites
we have for lawn decoration and it de-
serves the place it has won, for it's grace
full Towering wreaths of white make
most beautiful edge fer handsome
lawn or driveway. The best varieties
are the Thumbergi, the Van Houtei and
the old.fashloned bridal wreath, Not
only is this graceful Towering shrub
beautiful in very early summer with it's
snowy cape of blossoms, but in the
autumn it turns handsome brown.
Then the beautiful rhododendron
should not be forgotten in the choice of
decorative plants and shrubs fy,. the
lawn. Their richly oolored blosIms are
unexcelled and with Reasonable care
they will do well and blossom freely on

A Popular Aquatic Plant.

There is no other class of plants so
rapidly growing in public favor as
aquatics and there are many good rea-
sons for their popularity. They are
successfully raised with great ease and
are not affected by long seasons of drouth
such as have prevailed during recent
years. While the beauty of old garden
favorites has been impaired by drouth,
aquatics have bloomed on in annual
beauty. Aquatics not only bid defiance
to drouth. but the hotter and brighter
the weather the more profusely they
bloom. The great beauty and merit of
the flowers are the chief reasons of
their popularity. The home culture of
aquatics is very simple. Grand results
may be secured by those who have
means to construct large tanks, but
these accommodating plants can be raised
to much perfection in tubs made of oil
or molasses barrels cut in two. These
tubs can be grouped in rockery or ar
ranged in a row, be prepared about the
middle of May by filing them half full
with mixture of loan and manure;
plant the roots in them and then cover
with an inch or so of sand to give neat
finish, as the water soon becomes per-
fectly clear and pure, made so by grow
ing plants. These plants may also be
planted from one to three feet deep on
the margin of lake or pond and will
grow and bloom admirably without
trouble or care. The true sacred Egyp-
tian lotus produces leaves twenty to
thirty inches in diameter on stems five
to six feet high. The double blooms
are frequently over foot across of a
lovely milk white, shading into clea-.
bright pink at the edges. They are
easy to grow and most profuse boomers.
The tubers should be planted below the
ice or frost line if to be left out over
winter.-J. T. Lovett in Farm and
Home.

any of our city lawns. One of the best
of the free growing Towering shrubs and
one that is most easily cultivated is the
althea, or Rose of Sharon, as it is popu-
larly known. 1t has beautiful violet
red blossom and is especially valued be-
causes it blooms in August and Septem-
Der, when most of the shrubs have have
passed their blooming time.-Farm and

enjoy reading the Floral Department
Of the AeRICULTURIsT very much, but
do not notice any mention of the culture
of Gladioli. 1t seems to me that few
people of Florida realize how easily
these bright flowers can be grown.
Many people procure them and have
them bloom one season and then lose
their stock; thereby coming to the con-
olusion that Gladioli will not do well in
Florida. They almost always leave the
bulbs in the ground after they have be.
come dormant, thinking that as the eli
mate of Florida is quite mild they will
net need to be taken up and dried as in
the northern states. In this they are
quite right, but there is one thing they
have not reckoned on. That Is the
rainy season, which generally comes on
after the bulbs have ceased blooming
and become dormant, and they decay.
/ always take up my bulbs as soon as
the foliage dies down and allow them to
dry out. When they have become suf-
dciently dried they are put away in bags
till the next spring. Never dry them
near the stove. In January or February,
If the season is warm, they will often
remind you that it is time to plant them
by sprouting in the bag like onions.
They should be planted about four
inches deep, so that they will not dry
out so bad. IMPLANTED in February they
will bloom in April and May. A few

LESSON OF THE FLOWERS.
What a charm have the flowers, with their
pleasant perfumes
And their features exc uisitely fair
They impart to the weary a sense of repose
And give beauty to labor and care.
There are pansies of purple and Heavens own
blue,
And of gold with rich blendings of brown
There are lilies most gorgeous, but finer than
these.
Is the rose. with her gem studded crown.
There are Jassamiaes, luacs and and violets
sweet
With q host of such beauteous friends
Where the brightest OF colors. with delicate
tints,
The Creator. most skillfully blends.
What lesson the fairy forms teach as they rise
From the dark and the desolate mould.
Brilliant beauty and life and elightful perfume.
From the scentless. the lifeless and cold.
They are teaching that hearts may be Joy GUS
and bright
Though the feet may be encountered with clay,
And that they who must tread the m ost DESC
late paths,
May with beauty embellish the way.
And they tell Of an Infinite love- which supplies
Not alone every physical need,
But provides for the senses, such wealth of
delights
AS their usmost demands may exceed.
There are manifold lessons for those who would
learn,
Which the delicate petals enfold
And each cup is censor with incense more sweet
Than e'er foated from censor Of old.
There are messages found, in these gems that
are strewn
With lavish profusion around
Which the fondest of suitors might give. to the
one
Whom his love and affection have crowned.
Unto those who will scatter the seeds of the
flowers,
And will plant with generous hand,
OF the lily and rose and OF blossoming shrub;
VIII the blooms into blessings expand.
They may rest from their cares and their labors
awhile;
Where sweet posies, welcome will nod,
Take the tulip or lily or rose and may find
In the chalice, communion with God.

Treatment of Orchids.

The essential cultural requirements
of orchids were not known until long
after they had attracted the attention
of horticulturists. 1t Is interesting to
note the struggles of our great-grand
fathers to discover the conditions most
suitable for them, says a writer in
Garden and Forest. We who know all
about IL are surprised that any lntelli-
gent cultivator should have tried to
grow epiphytic plants "in common soil
in plots plunged to the rim in tan bed"
Teak baskets, sphagnum moss, peat
fher and charcoal appear to us to be
exactly what any intelligent schoolboy
would have recommended as supplying
the right material for an epiphyte. But,
like all useful discoveries and inventions,
simple as they appear to us they were
not worked out without much thought,
experim ent and the sacriiceaot many
plants. One of the shrewdest of bota-
nists working in the van of the horti-
cultural art of his time. DR.. Lindley,
stated in paper read to the Royal
Horticultural society in 1880 that "high
temperature, deep shade and excessive
humidity are the conditions essential to
the well-being of orchids" Thirteen
years later another authority, Mr.. Bate
man, recommended the same treatment,
adding that a resting season was neces-
sary. This treatment became the only
oz onodox one, and was persisted in for
upwards of thirty years.
We now recognize that fresh air at all
times is essential, that many orchids en-
joy bright sunshine, that while some
require plenty of moisture all the year
round, others require it only for a por.
ton of the year, and that some even
thrive only when treated as if they were
cacti. The temperature for exotic or
chids varies from purely tropical to
that of few degrees above freezing
point, and while some species during
growth are kept in a hot steamy at
mosphere, and after growth is COM
pleted are removed to comparatively
cool and dry conditions to afford them
rest, others suffer if the conditions
are not fairly uniform all the year round.

Crazed by His Defeat.
w. w. Perry, clerk of the court for
Lancaster county, committed suicide
last Wednesday morning at about ~
O'Clock by jumping from an o. R. & e.
railroad treslle into the swollen waters
of Bear creek, about mile southwest
of Lancaster. A school boy saw Mr..
Perry climb down to some planks that
had been nailed to the timbers of the
trestle about 10 feet from the top, and
jump, and pedestrian who was sum-
moned by the boy to the rescue,
reached the scene in time to find the
unfortunate man holding to bush.
When Mr.. Perry saw the pedestrian,
however, he turned loose the bush
and sank TO the bottom. There is no
question but that his suicide was pre-
meditated and deliberate. Mr.. Perry
was at one time cadet in Kings
Mountain Military school and was
about As years of age. He was elect
ed clerk of the court four years ago !;
but was defeated in the recent. pri-
mary election. Since his defeat he
has been very morose. He had, for a
long time, been a victim of dyspepsia,
and for several months past had been
telling his friends that be was afraid
he was going to lose his mind. He
made model officer, was kindbearted,
sympathetic and generous, and was
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He leaves a wife; but no chill
dren. The cause of his rash act is
traceable indirectly, at least, there is
little reason to doubt, to his recent
defeat for denomination.
