The Raleinx Of Peanuts.


The Manufacturers Record, OF Bal

possibility Of developing the peanut
oil business in the south, and Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson, in q recent article in
that PAPER predicted that mot many

industry would surpass the cotton
seed-oil business" The same paper
stated in a recent issue that "a COM
pany had been organized in Norfolk,
Virginia, to build q peanut mill in
that city, and that it expected to turn
out 1000 gallons Of oil . day."
1t has been demonstrated beyond all
question or doubt that there il no sec
ton of the whole south where the soil
is better adapted to the raising Of pea
nuts than in somsspertions of Wakulla
and Leon counties, in western Florida.
The lands can %: purchased there
very cheaply, the facilities for trans
portation, both deep water and by rail-
road, are exceedingly good, and II the
prediction Of these eminent authorities
can be relied upon; there is no agricul-
tural product to which young farmer
could more probably turn his atten-
ton than the raising of this well
known product.
It may safely be stated that there is

why There Are No Blue Roses.


A knowledge of one simple law In
nature may save the flower-grower days
and weeks of hard and unavailing la
Dor in attempting to produce that ia
NOUS chimera of the botanists-the
blue rose. The law is simply this: The
three colors, red, blue and yellow. never
all appearin the same species Of flowers;
any two may exist, but never the third.
Thus we have red and yellow roses, but
no blue; red and blue verbenas, but NO
yellow; yellow and blue in the various
members of tho violet family, but no
red. Other examples Of this rigid Law
could be cited, but the above are suit
Client. The botanist or fioriculturist
who really understands his business
