IN MEMORIAM.
| In infancy Graded on winters cold breast,
| His boyhood was sturdy and strong;
| The snow-laden breezes his fair brow ca
ressed,
| And hushed him to sleep with their song
But the fair maiden Spring stole over the
hills,
! And lured him from Winter away;
Their merry feet wakened the brooks and
the rills,
And valleys grew brighter each day.
The gentle-eyed daisies from slumber awoke
| Their tribute of beauty to bring,
| While natures grand chorus the deep silence
broke
| In glad songs of welcome to Spring.
| The shimmering leaves on the dark, sombre
| Peeped out in soft, shinil array
| They smiled with the sunbeams and danced
| with the breeze,
| To brighten and gladden. the way.
Before them a sun-lighted mountain arose,
| Did fairies their footsteps attend,
New pictures of beauty to ever disclose,
While hand clasped in hand they ascend?
white,
To give them her welcoming hand
And guide them still onward to bowers
more bright,
Where Summer was queen of the land.
Mid loose flowing tresses of sunny -hued
hair,
Still fingered Mays fragrance and bloom;
And from her white shoulders 50 dimpled
and fair,
Hung garands for bright happy June
While the glad hours flew by on golden-hued
wings,
Our hero to manhood had grown;
But where the beautiful laughing-eyed
Spring?
Alas! from his side she had flown
With Summer he sought mid the cool, shady
bowers,
Perchance her light footsteps had straved
Where pure, crystal fountains made radiant
the flowers,
But vainly they sought for the maid.
Adown the green slope with the westering
That ever their footsteps attends,
Where glowing in richness the ripened fruit
hung
Mid plenty their pathway descends.
And when chilly winds blew, with kind,
loving care
Our hero would tenderly fold
Ro1, nd F,l
fair,
A mantle of crimson and gold.
When swift bowling tempests had beat Ger
their way,
She, who fearlessly stood by his side,
Meath the gathering chill that deepened
each day,
Was fading-his beautiful BRIDE
And one night when the stars from the
clear, azure sky
With a plying, tender light shone,
He laid her to rest with loving good bye,
To finish his journey alone.
With step once so firm, but now trembling
and slow,
He wandered mid darkness and gloom
Nor watched he again for the mornings
bright glow,
To tighten his way to the tomb.
By his pillow of snow the sad, moaning
pine,
Alone watched his fast failing BREATH
When tolled the last note of miGnight's lone
chime,
The old year slept sweety in death

Asparagus and its Culture.

ton aS one OF the choicest vegetables OF
the garden. Peter Henderson says of
this vegetable, that the supply has never
yet fully satisfied the demand, and that
small quantity of good asparagus has
frequently helped to sell wagon load
Of vegetables, the gardener making its
sale conditional upon the purchase Of
other articles Asparagus is not only a
wholesome article of food, but it is a
pleasant dluretic and aperient, and is
often used as an Alternative or purifier
of the blood" When prescribed medic
inally it is as a decoction, made by boil
ing two ounces of the root in one quart
of water. There are some sixty or
seventy species of asparagus, of which
the above named is the only edible one.
While the shoots ofthe majority Of the
asparagus plants are green, some plants
produce pur ple-topped shoots, owing
probably to some modification of the
leaf-green, or chloropbyll. Such plants
cannot be considered even as varieties,
as they occur in every planting Of what
ever kind of asparagus seed, and the
peculiarly is not transmitted as regu-
lar distinct feature.
Difference of opinion exists among
horticulturists in regard to the question
of varieties of this vegetable, some con-
tending that there are no varieties of
Asparagus off cinalis. They claim that
growers in several localities, have
brought the cultivation of asparagus to
such state of perfection, as ohave de.
veloped decided superiority in the
plant: that, as like produces like, the
seed Of such plants are prefera BILE and
will continue to give superior product.
They hold that, until deteriorated,
The Conover's Colossal, the Ulm, the
Argenteuil, and others, are only i'm
proved strains, while others claim them
to be distinct varieties. Unlike the
varieties of other vegetables, the differ
ent sorts of asparagus are distinguished
neither by shape, nor color Of leaf or
flower. nor by taste, nor by any other
character, save size, and when removed
from favorable conditio Of climate,
soil, manure, and management, they de-
teriorate and are undistingulshable from
plants grown from seed Of the poorest
kind. Asparagus is di9cious plant,
that is, the male (staminate) and female
(pistilate) flowers are on separate roots.
Only the latter will not bear seeds which
will not be fertile unless the flower is
i'm pregnated by the pollen of the former.
Thus it requires two distinct plants for
the propagation Of the Species Should
a variety originate by chance, it's flower
would require the pollen of the previous
variety to fertilize it, and to transmit
it's distinctive features to descendants.
1t must be ever afterwards exempt from
any alternating influences Of the pollen.
If such breeding of varieties was prob
able in dlecious plants, the chances Of
Decentralization are such that varie-
ties and sub-varie ties would be constant
ly seen.
RAISING THE PLANTS.
Asparagus is propagated from seed,
the usual practice being to raise the
plants in seed bed, and transfer them
to the field when one or two years old,
those of one year being much the best.
t. Lo- IL
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-07-01

able to lift them carefully and fresh
from the seed bed when needed where
as, produced from distance, they are
stale, roughly handled and bruised
The price of the see I'd is usually about
fifty cents per pound, containing some
fourteen thousand seeds; which should
supply, at least, ten thousand five hun
dred plants, or enough for three acres
At the average price of plants as offered
by the largest seed firms, the same mum
Der of plants would cost twenUy.one dol
lars. Small, splndling shoots are com
paratively worthless. The asparagus
grower should start his seed-bed with
the ultimate object of producing large,
stout sprouts, (or grass" in the lam
guage Of the market), and to do this he
must avoid stunted plants. A good as
paragus plantation is expensive. 1t
brings in no return for three years but
when it once comes into bearing it re
m aims productive for twenty years or
more and affords good profits. Unless
it can be properly made from the start,
it had better not be undertaken.
The seed Of asparagus is not injured
by frost. 1t may be sown from Deem
Der 1sJ to the middle of March. Select
high, sandy or well drained, light land,
which has been we'll MANFRED; sow in
drills two feet apart, and one inch deep
the plants should stand about three
inches apart in the row. At these dis
tances one-fourth Of an acre will grow
twenty-one thousand seven hundred and
eighty plants. or n sufficient number 10
plant five or six acres. If proper care is
taken Of them during their growth, the
plants will be superior to any of one
years growth, purchasable at any price
from any northern nursery, simply in
consequence Of our longer and warmer
growing season. In addition to this,
are the advantages of being able in trans
planting to return them to the soil, fresh
and without injury to the roots.
One of the chief claims of asparagus
to popular favor is its early appearance
in the spring; and hence heavy cold
clay, particularly if badly drained,
should be avoided. A light, high, warm,
sandy soil, heavily fertilized, is best
adapted to this crop, and it especially
fourishes when such soil is located near
it's native habitat-the sea coast. The
more manure, the better the cultivation,
the larger and better will be the "grass;"
therefore the land should be in fine,
mellow condition before the application
of the manure. After deep blowing sub
solling, and narrowing, coating of
about hundred wagon loads of green
stable manure to the acre, without much
long litter, should be turned under as
deeply as possible. Future surface
manurings will benefit the top soil. The
field being thoroughly narrowed, straight
rows should be laid off with two horse
plow, going only IN one direction, care
being taken to have the straight cuts, or
land-slides of the burrows, equi.dis.
tant from each other, and five feet
apart. If the roots Of the plants are
long, it will probably be necessary to
deepen the burrows by following the
first with smaller pillow. In the bottom
of the furrow it is we'll to apply some

Redewill, the rustling piano man, who has just returned from trip over the northern section of Arizona, yesterday stated to a Republican re- porter that every town or hamlet he has visited the inhabitants were strong upholders of free silver.

"A certain goldbug paper" said MT Red ewill, which is published in California and which heretofore enjoyed large circulation in Arizona, has incurred the enmity of the people up north and they have discontinued their sub- scriptions.

 Between the hours of 2 o'clock an ' a. m six deaths were reported at police headquarters. The victims are Henry Deasts, Annie Keneally, Mary Devine, Edward Albert, Annie Flood William Donnelly.
 At 1 o'clock today peculiarly sad event was reported. In crowded tenement house resided the family o1 Jas. Roach, a laboring man. The fam lily lived in a small room that is al most entirely without circulation. The father was away, but the mother anC their four children ranging from ] year to ', were found dead, all hud. dled together The scene moved the police to tears and the husband anG father was nearly crazed with grie1 when he viewed the dead bodies of his family. Three more deaths occurred since noon, but their names are not yet obtainable There is every indica tion that the worst of the hot weather is over.

To believe a French writer, there are
 no fewer than four thousand women
 caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs.

IS PEACE COMING?
Report That Weyler and the Insur-
 gents Will Negotiate.

KEY WEST, F'la., Aug. 12-It is openly declared here that Captain General Weyler has reached an under standing with the chief insurgent lead CTS and that negotiations will be be gun with a view to the cessation of hostilities in Cuba upon terms satis- factory to all concerned. It is also stated here that the captain-general and his deputy commanders have held a conference in relation to this i'm portant movement.
 The authors of the striking declara- tions say that the truth of their re- ports is established by the fact that within the last few days many in fiuential emissaries have arrived here and at other points in the United States from Cuba bearing important dispatches to the Cuban junta in New York. Some of the sympathizers in the revolutionary cause admit that these dispatches may contain refer ences to a possible truce, but they are | not inclined to talk freely on the sub- | ject.
 Other surmises which have arisen owing to the arrival of the Cuban en- voys are to the effect that the insur- gents are at this time dispatching messages to the United States, urging immediate aid in the way of arms, am- munition, of which they are sorely in need.
 By far the greater importance, how ever, is attached here to the report that a truce is likely to occur soon in the island.
