able size for the house, simply allow
it to become pot-bound, and keep it
alive and green by liquid manure and
top-dressings of rich soil.
So, many people regard palms mere
ly from a decorative point of view,
utterly ignoring any claims they may
have to sun, air and water. They
place them where they will best orna-
ment their rooms regardless of light
and air and when they shrivel and
turn yellow at the points of the
leaves, wonder why palms are so diff
ficult to grow, and why they do not
retain the brilliant green they had
when bought at the florists. Nine
tenths of the palms bought die of
thirst or are smothered to death in
close rooms.
Use your palms to decorate the
hooks and corners and halls by all
means but do not keep them in such
places all the time. Give them warm
half-shady position in summer, for
while they love the sun, and to GER
tain degree it is beneficial to them,
it is apt to burn holes in the leaves,
especially if they are watered while
the sun is shining on them. The heat
of an ordinary living-room is warm
enough for their winter growth, if it
does not get below the freezing point
at night.
In conclusion treat your palms rea-
sonably, and they will grow and live
as long as you can give them room
without taking off the roof essie M.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, ana
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

medical fraternity Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
lv upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby Destroy
ing the foundation Of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing it's work. The propri-
etors have so much faith in it's cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure Send for list of testimonials.

A queer little sensitive plant-a vine
rather-runs wild over sandy soil. Big
aggressive looking bristles shield the
dainty little rose pink balls that are
SO sweet one longs to smell them un-
til there is no scent left. .f =
Every one is familiar with, or has at
least heard of the great-flowered mag
nolia; but no description of Florida
flowers would be complete without
mention of it's name. Magnolia trees
often attain height of one hundred
feet, and when covered with the large
snow-white flowers they are feast
for the eye. A smaller relative, the
sweet bay, looks proudly up to this
mighty cousin, and tries to look as
much like it's majesty as it can.

The sacred passion flower twines
itself among the weeds of our fields.
We children use to pluck it's royal
purple blossoms with reverence. The
crown of thorns, the nails, the ham,
mer and the cords, were objects of
great interest to our lively magma
tions. The five sepals and the five
petals represent ten of the disciples

Among our most striking plants are
the Yucas; and who would suspect

The subject of Florida flowers seems
so inexh austible that I have not at

the ones l have spoken of are those
most particularly characteristic OF

Some Florida Wild Flowers.


In the July May Flower, a bright
little magazine published at New
York, is published an article upon the
wild flowers of Florida written by
Mrs. Mary Bidwell Smith, a former
resident of Orlando, now of Washing
ton, where her husband has a posi- ton
under the government in the depart
ment of justice.
1t is so we'll written that but for it's
length we would reproduce it in full,
but here are a few extracts:
Visitors to Florida-winter visitors,
1 mean-are sometimes disappointed
at not finding more flowers there.
why" they say, "this is the land OF
flowers, and the woods and fields
ought to be one perennial mass Of
bloom"
Perhaps forgetting the wintry as
pect of the frozen north, they expect
too much; for it seems to me that
Florida, deserves it's name not only
because of the number and variety Of
it's flowers but also by reason of the
fact that every month brings it's bios
SONS. The wild flowers are not so
abundant in d-winter-Nature must
take a short nap sometime-but the
Towering season begins so early and
ends so late that one can scarcely tell
the autumn flowers from those of
spring.
If Florida ever chooses a state flow

is, [ believe, found only in Florida. 1t
is not the ugly, knob-like species OF
the same name though that is also a
native of our waters-but is a true
nymphaea; differing from the white
water lily in size and color and being,
if that were possible, little more
graceful. It is a clear lemon yellow,
with deep golden centers; and the
leaves are small green with brown
spots, and with rose-pink lining. The
large white water lily also grows with
us, and is much more common than
this rare yellow one.
