A Support for Smilax.

An easily made support for smilax,
and one that possesses several advan-
tages over the usual wooden trellis,
may be quickly made by any window
gardener, even though she be unfa
miliar with the use of carpenters
tools. In fact, to be really TRUTHFUL
there are very few women who are
sufficiently familiar with the use of
the hammer and saw to enable them
to make trellis that will not be what
some one has graphically described as
''weewawed.'
But this support [ am about to de-
scribe cannot be weewawed, that is, it
can, but it wont. The next advantage
is that it may be made quickly: a six
year old child can make one, if it can
tie a knot in a piece of thread. The
materials, also, are at hand in every
household, and they are inexpensive.
To begin, then, take a small,
straight and slender stick, as long as
the support is to be in height-say
three feet-sharpen one end and stick
it down into the soil in the center of
the pot. 1t would better reach to the
bottom. Drive common carpet tack
part way into the top of the stick, and
stick few rows of hairpins down in
to the soil around the edge of the pole

The Oldest Rose in the World.

While 1 was hunting up some infor-
nation regarding trees, my eyes fell
upon the history of the oldest rose
bush in the world. [ think Mr.. Roe
ner has recently published book up
ON this plant, in which he has proved
it to be at the least calculation three
centuries old. But perchance many Of
our readers may not have had the OPP
portunity of consuming the contents
of, this book, myself, have not
therefore l will give in as few words
as possible the. facts of the history Of
this old rose bush as they came to me.
This wonderfully old rose bush has
grown to tree which is found in
Hildeshim, one of the cities of Hano-
yer, growing from the soil under the
the Cemetery. The original stem is
dead but new stems have worked
through small openings in the wall
and have SO grown as to almost cover
the entire church for width and
height of forty feet.
Tradition states this rose bush was
planted by Charlemagne in 1913. The
fact of it's being supposed to be plant
ed, by Charlemagne should at once
awaken a great interest in everyone.
The Church of the Cemetery was
burned during the eleventh century
but the fire did not destroy the roots
as they continued to grow in the sub
soil. A Jesuit who died in 1878 has
mentioned this oldest rose bush in
one of his works. It is also mentioned
in a poem written in 169O.-Exchange
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-06-09

about one and one-half or two inches
apart. If the smilax bulbs have not
already been planted, they should be
set in circle around the stick, and
half way between it and the edge of
the pot.
Smilax does not want anything
large to cling to; take, therefore, COM
mon coarse black thread and tie one
end of it to one of the hair pins; pass
around the tack, then pass it down on
the opposite side and tie it to the hair
pin opposite that to which it was first
fastened, drawing it just tight enough
to keep it firm and straight. Tie a
thread to the next hairpin, and pass it
up over the top, around the tack and
down on the other side the same as
the first.
Tie thread to each hairpin in this
way, and when the bulbs sprout and
the vines are long enough, train one
to- each thread and let them climb
This soon forms cone shaped mass
of, green which grows thicker as the
vines reaching the top are pinched off,
and side shoots form which reach
from thread to thread and soon fill up
the narrow spaces between them.
The hairpins should be pushed only
about two-thirds of their length into
the soil. If pushed down so that their
tops get wet when the smilaX is wa
tered or rather, SO that the soil keeps
the thread damp, it would soon rot
off. If above the soil where it can
dry, an occasional wetting will not in
jure it.
Black thread is preferable to white
as it does not show so plainly among
the green leaves.-Mayfower.

buds. The Estoile de Lyon is anoth-
er fine yellow rose. The Lamarque is
mex. to the Aggrippina in hardness
and profusion of bloom, and few roses
equal it in beauty. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to see forty large creamy
flowers and waxen buds in one clus-
ter. We have seen them fourishing
on the bank of brook in Florida
hammock, in the water soaked flat
woods and the sandy soil of the high
pine lands, and they were success in
situations. The Saffrano has beauti
full buds and is very hardy. The Mad.
Joseph Swarthy is also pretty and
hardy. These are few of the many
tea roses which are both reliable and
lovely, and do well on their own roots
in Florida.
The climbers are also very reliable;
among them are the Baltimore Belle
Russel's Cottage and the Washington
The first blush colored, the next dark
red, the last white. The Marechal
Neil is a failure on it's own roots, but
outstrips all others when budded. 1t
will cover an entire house front in a
few years.
But few moss roses are worth trou-
bling with in Florida. Of the hybrid
perpetuals, the Paul Neyron is a sue
cess. The monthly cabbage and the
American Beauty did well with us.
The Sultan of Zanzibar is an almost
black rose, exceedingly fragrant, a shy
bloomer on it's own roots, but when
budded grew and bloomed considera-
bly,. Some roses will not bloom on
their own roots, and should be used as
stock on which to bud others.
All who keep stock or fowls have
fertilizer always at hand which
should only be used when we'll rotted.
A careful use of commercial fertilizers
can be allowed to experienced per
sons. Roses are SO cheap that il hard
ly pays the amateur to waste time
with attempting to root cuttings.
Plant roses in we'll prepared soil,
preferably in autumn; mulch them
and never neglect to cultivate, enrich
or, water when necessary. Above ALL
love them and resolve to make their
needs your care, and the result will
more than Justify your hopes of sue
cess. j. S. p.

For the Floral Department.
Roses in Florida.

For elegance of form, beauty and
variety of coloring, exquisite fra
GRANGE and handsome foliage, the rose
is beyond dispute the Queen of Flow
erS.
That Florida 4, shall become the
Queen State in which to grow them
depends almost entirely upon the es
thetic taste, persistent effort, and in
telligent culture of this responsive
plant by Florida's homeseekers.
The rose is among the hardest of
plants and can be coaXed to grow in
almost any portion of the habitable
globe.
There are certain conditions of soil
and climate that greatly favor their
successful cultivation. Land well en-
riched and having clay subsoil es-
pecially suits the rose, while an equa-
BILE temperature and moist atmos-
phere are conducive, to their finest de-
velopment.
England and Ireland are famed for
the great perfection of their roses. A
visitor to the latter country has writ
ten with great enthusiasm of the
roses which in many places climbed
to the very caves of the house." We
are not informed as to whether the
wild rose has ever existed to any
great extent nj those countries
Their conspicuous absence from the
flora of Florida does not signify that
they are unsuited to it's soil and eli
mate, as eXotics often flourish in an
alien soil in a most Surprising man
ner. This truth, SO potent to all OBJ
servers is demonstrated more fully in
Florida than any other state in the
Union.
One of it's best points for rose cul-
ture is it's moist atmosphere, as we'll
as it's cool nights and heavy dews
which prevent the plant from wither-
ing during the occasional protracted
drouths. It's equable climate makes it
IHC very VI CHC UC6t IOSc WHICH,
we'll established, and they are truly
ever-blOomers-in Florida, missing
scarcely month except January.
Some of the Bengal teas bloom al
most every day during the year, nota
bly, the pink daily and Aggrippina.
The latter is really a very fine rose,
bearing great clusters Of dark velvety
blooms and buds. If it were not so
common it would be very popular
rose, and it deserves more general
recognition, as when all others fail it
can be depended on and is really
beautiful rose. 1t grows into a small
tree sometimes; we have seen one
which was fifty-siX feet in the spread
of it's branches, with trunk like
sapling.
The Queens Scarlet, another Ben
gal tea, is easily grown and is a hand
some rose.
Almost every tea rose in the whole
catalogue grows we'll on it's own roots,
and is success in Florida. The
Marie Van Houtte is one of the very
best, and is charming rose, rich
cream yellow with white center, the
outside petals being a pinkish purple.

Notes About the County.

/, A recent trip to the Little Turkey
country demonstrates that what used
to be thought too wet for profitable
farming is of the best farm land in
the county. On the way there we en-
joyed the boundless hospitality of the
L. F. Emmons family, and short
visit in which were recalled the Incl
dents of pioneer life in Howard
| county.
South from Mr.. Emmons, we visited
the farms formerly owned by John
and james Shaw, now owned by Mr..
Chyle and lhos. Holob, two as fine
farms as ever lay out doors. Joseph
Andera owns magnificent farm op-
posite these. On the farm taken up
as government land by Tolif Olson,
resides his son-in-law, j. K. johnson,
who recently gave grand wedding
party for the occasion of the mar
riage of his daughter Lena. Mr..
Olson and his son, both we'll and
favorably known by all the early set
tiers of the county, are dead, the lat
ter dying in Dakota. The first farm
south is that of Otto Natyig, also a
good one. All these farms have fine
buildings, Indicating the thrift of
their owners. On the farm to the
east of these we found one of the old
timers, Halyer Halverson, wife and
brother, the wife and husband hav-
ing located on that farm in 1854. The
log house in which they began lite in
Iowa is still standing in good state of
preservation, near their present one.
This aged couple came to this coun.
try, locating about 20 miles from Mil
waukee,.i 1914. From Mr.. Halversons
the first farm to the south is that of
supervisor jacobson, to which we
paid brief visit. Like the other
Little Turkey farms it is an excellent
one we'll titled.
From Mr.. Jacobson's we drove north
to John Bri ega's, one of the prosper
Gus and intelligent farmers of New
Oregon. On his farm and upon that
of W. E. Woodward, we saw several
acres of corn sowed for feed, q profita-
BILE and valued crop with all good
farmers. On our way home we stop
ped for time with John Wendl, Sr.,
where we found Aug. Smart, enjoy
ing his summer vacation with one of
the pleasant and intelligent Bohemi-
an families of the county.
The crops in that section of the
county except timothy saved for
seed is nearly all cut and in the shock
and it has been fully an average one,
Corn is obtaining large growth and
if it ripens will make big yield of
this staple product for producing
beef and pork.

Tie Passing of a True rlan.

The news of the sudden but not un
expected death of Hon. Warren Dan
forth at his home In Orleans township
last Wednesday, brought sorrow te
many heart, he being man respect
ed by everyone and honored by all
who knew him. The immediate cause
of bis death was the result of second
paralytic stroke which attacked hin
but five days previously.
Warren Danforth was born at Balls
ton, Saratoga county, N. Y, Feb'y
IS, 1929, and removed to Iowa about
the year 1864, and settled in Orleans
township. Winnesheik county, where
he carried on large farm and amass
ed reasonable share Of this worlds
goods. Mr.. Danforth was never mar.
ried, his sister Margaret making hel
home with him, who, with two other
sisters and brother, survive him.
In 1865 he was elected member of
the Board of Supervisors of his coun.
ty. and in 1871 was elected Repre-
sentative to the Fourteenth General
Assembly of Iowa and was reelected
in 1873 and 1875 and refused to allow
his name to be used for the Office of
Senator in 1877.
Early in life he experienced change
OF heart and united with the Presby.
terian church. After removing to
Iowa he united with the Congrega.
tional church III Orleans township
and identified himself with the Con
gregationel church i'll this state, always
leading conscientious, Christian life.
He was man of very modest
and retiring nature, so much so in
fact that it was doubtful if his real
worth was recognized except amongst
his closest friends. In private life nc
man stood higher than he. Clean In
words and actions, honest and con.
scientious in all his dealings with his
fellow men; truly a good man is called
home. In 1898 he had stroke of
paralysis from which he never recov
cred but gradually failed until the final
summons came on the 2Sth of July aud
his body was laid at rest in Oaklawu
cemetery on the goth, followed by a
large concourse Of mourning neighbors
and friends from Cresco and Decorah,
funeral services beng held at his late
home. conducted by Rev. O. H. Holmes
and Rev. Z. A. Marshall. assisted by
Iuar.elte from the Cresco church:
Miss Edith Webster, Mrs. Matte
Terry, Messrs. &C. Burgess and A. F.
Garrett. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful, fitting emblem
to a pure, noble Ilfe.-Republican.
