Flowers and Art.
South Florida.

Flowers share with music and
painting the privilege to serve the
highest needs of man. They surpass
either in the quality and quantity OF
such service rendered. Not every one
can buy costly instrument, still
fewer can bring forth from it the
charms which soothe the savage
breast. My neighbours piano has too
often made me wish that all pianos
were ''where the wicked cease from
humping and the weary get some
rest.'' Painting has many devotees,
but the product from their brush
graces or disgraces many parlor
wall. How few are the paintings OF
amateurs which really render any
service! Aside from the fact that
some one for whom we care has
painted them, they seldom give us
any pleasure. Have you not gazed
with horror at crayon portraits
which make saints look like villains!
Have you not had to ''ah'' and ''oh
over a cherubim who had curvature
of the spine and paralyzed hmos'
whose fingers were as stiff as clothes

Favorite Climbers for the Garden.

Our gardens would not be complete
without the graceful ornamental
climbing vines of which there are
such numerous and beautiful varie-
ties. Among them the "dear old
Glories,'' much loved in our child
hood days, have never lost their
charm, even when surrounded by
many new and exquisite varieties
which delight the eye and ''sense OF
the beautifully" for we still cling to
the Morning Glory which opens its
lovely petals as the ''god of day" ex-
changes with it morning greeting.
How beautiful they are in the var
led shades of blue, rose, red, white
and combinations of lovely color
ings! And so easy of culture, quick
ly growing and rapidly twining
wherever support is offered! They
are especially admired for fine effect
on rock-work, fences, stumps OF
trees and rustic work. The variety
Mauritanicus is well adapted for

For the Floral Department.:
The Trumpet Lily.


In taking upon myself to be the
nomenclator of the above-named
plant L may be mistaken in giving it
the name 1 do. but by such have l
known it, ever since [ have seen it.
1t is probably purely local name,
but, by description, it may be rec
ognized by some, although under d
totally different appellation.
To begin with, [ have heard it
classed alongside of plant known
as the jamestown or "Jimson" weed,
but never having seen such plant,
there is any botanical relation be-
tween the two.
AS plant, the Trumpet Lily is not
much to look at, being of irregular
growth, though the large, green
leaves are quite an offset to this.
1t is, however, to the flowers that
we look for beauty and elegance sui
ficient to give it a place in the flower
garden. These blossoms are pure
white and have waxy look, render
ing them almost transparent. They
are very large, sometimes ten inches
long, and receive their name, from
the shape they bear. The plant bears
profusion of these, periodically,
making a remarkably pretty effect
when open
Like most snowy and gorgeous
flowers, this one is perfectly inodor-
Gus, leaving the enjoyment to be de-
rived from the magnificent flower.
The Trumpet Lily is rather sus-
ceptible to cold, but this can hardly
be considered a drawback, as the
plants need to be replenished every
year or two, otherwise they get rag
ged and have shabby appearance.
They are easily propagated by means
of cuttings.
These succeed best when moder-
ately old wood is used and set in
cans, with the bottom out and filled
with rich soil. They soon sprout
and will grow rapidly and need to
be planted out in very short time.
The plants are sensible to good
treatment and will grow rapidly it
well fed. ***

subject for the Kelley cure?
Only the elect few can play or sing
or paint or chisel and serve others in
the so doing. But take the flower;
bought for few cents or picked by
the wayside, transplanted by low
ing hand and what rich resultsl [
do not mean to say that skill is not
required in the raising of flowers,
but L do mean to say that even the
unskillful amateur can bring pleas
less expense of money, time and en-
ergy than in music or painting. Your
flower may bring forth only one
blossom instead of a dozen, but that
one does not offend the eye. Your
flower may not bloom at all, but in
it's simple greenness it is still beauti-
full. Music and painting are only too
often used for base purposes by
those who are masters of these arts,
but l know of no base use in which
the flower may be put. 1t can never
be robbed of it's modesty, it will new
er suggest anything base. Wherever
you find it, by the wayside or in cot
tage garden, in the window of the
lonely tenement or in the greenhouse
of the rich, it's influence is always
elevating and ennobling. The lily
has strengthened mans faith in the
immortality of the soul more than
all the paintings of great artists.
The rose has melted to noble passion
and sweet love more than all the
poets songs. The violet has been
the emblem of virtue and modesty,
and the forget-me-nOt has held in it's
tiny flower the memories Of parted
friends in indissoluble union. Over
the silent grave they stand proclaim
ing the reality of the yonder land in
stronger language than the dogmas
of the church. By the side of the sick
and dying they stifle tears and
sooth the pain, and the barren hos
pital ward becomes gate unto heav-
en-.
Cherish, then, your skill with flow
ers, develop it into an art, an art
which is a true art, never base, never
selfish, yielding unalloyed pleasure
to you and others-an art which new
er hides it's treasures, but spreads
them out before every passerby, yet
never offends, but always carries
some message which every heart in
terprets according to it's own need.
How to Grow Flowers.

hanging baskets; III bears Deautltul
blue flowers.
No, we cannot exclude the
''Glories'' from our list of favorite
climbers.
The attractive foliage and lovely
star-lihe flowers of the Cypress Vine
make it most desirable addition to
our ornamental climbers for trelIis-
es or to Irvine on strings or wire.
With pleasure and success have we
cultivated the Canary-bird Vine, with
it's vivid bird-like blossoms waving
gracefully in the midst of it's pretty
foliage. 1t is a half-hardy annual
and rapid climber, making a beau
tiful display of fine foliage and flow
ers. 1t grows to height of ten
feet.
The Thunbergia is much admired
as a freely blooming trailing vine,
producing handsome foliage and at
tractive flowers of orange, yellow,
buff, and white, with dark centers
They are very easily rooted from cut
tings, but seeds are rather slow to
start.
One of our most popular climbing
ANIMALS is the Tropaeolum, or Climb
ing Nasturtium, of neat, clean
growth, Towering profusely, and es-
pecially useful and beautiful for rus
tic work, trellises and screens, also
desirable as a bedder by pegging the
offshoots to the ground. The variety,
Golden Climber has beautiful golden
leaves and vivid scarlet blossoms of
attractive appearance, giving us a
long continuous season of bloom.
The rich, dark foliage and crimson
flowers of Empress of India make Il
brilliantly beautiful display, and the
Lobbianum, with delicate pretty TO-
llage and varied colorings of bios
SONS, attracts attention and admira-
ton. In mixtures, scarlet, orange
striped and spotted, one has a wide
range in variety and colorings.
The Maurandya is charming and
graceful climber for either the win
dow the year around or the open
ground in summer. 1t has an eX-
ceedingly graceful habit, very hand
some foliage, which is quite dense in
the open ground, and bears in great
profusion pretty tubular flowers, in
shape much like those of FoXglove,
in white, maroon, and rose colors. In
the open ground the vines will con-
tinue to flower until there has been
six or eight degrees of frost, when,
if desired, the roots may be lifted
and potted for winter blooming. 1t
is best to start the seeds early in the
house.
Not so much climbing as a trail
ing vine is Nolana, a beautiful free
blooming plant, the flowers resem-
bling the Convolvulus Tricolor, deli
cately and beautifully penciled in va
rious mixed shades.
The Madeira Vine gives us much
pleasure and satisfaction not alone
as a summer but also a winter climb
er; it's rich, glossy dark green leaves

Ariz6qa's Retrified Toresto

Last Monday the editorial force of the MINER visited, for the first time, the petrified forest of Arizona. The jou/hey was made to Adamana, small station on the Santa Fe Pacific road, in Apache county, from which point conveyance carried the party to the forest" six miles south. The formation of the coun- try, seemingly, IS sedimentary, and at one time covered by an inland sea. Erosion has uncovered vast forest ot trees that had been covered deep in sed iment. The trees in every case are com pletely silicifed As erosion took place the broken trunks of trees were deposited on the low lands, bewildering tangle of brilliant rainbow coors in stone. In one place an immense tree lies across d canyon. each end embedded in the sedi mentary formation, forming natural bridge. What caused this great phe- nomenon will he specnlated upon for years to come by the wlse men of science and when It has been fully ex plotted it will still remain a marvel to the geologist. In every case the natura wood oi the trees seem to have been pre- served Tn stone. The cedars and pines can easily be distinguished by the col brings. Pine trees in which decompo- sition had taken place prior to petrltac ton are of a notably white color and much softer ID texture The class of perification would make excellent homes for cutter and barbers' use. To one who has never seen anything of the kind a visit to the forest will amply repay for all trouble and expense. It only costs two dollars and fifty cents to go from the railroad station to the forest and re urn. Good accommodations can be had at the ranch of Adam Hanna, who with his good vile make the trip to the forest one of unalloyed pleasure
