The GIOxinna.

Among all summer blooming bulbs the
Gloxiana stands unrivalled says the
Horticultural Journal. 1t is easily grown,
sand is distinctively beautiful, even in its
foliage alone-great, feshy, velvety leaves
curling downward and over the pot until
it is almost hidden in their luxuriance;
while their delicate coloring forms a most
beautiful setting for the gorgeous array
of blossoms that follow ordinarily good
ftreatment.
There is an erroneous idea extant that
the Gloxiana is a kind of dollhouse plant,
requiring a sort of touch-me-not treat
ment and that its leaves must never
come in contact with water. On the con-
trary, it fairly revels in a daily bath OF
ltepid water when once it is fairly estab-
.lished find an each porch, or the north
side of a building, the very best place to
grow them, outside of greenhouse, as
they require very little sunshine.
If showered daily, after the sun leaves
them, their plush-like foliage will show
neversa trace of dust or spot on blemish
ITO mar its exquisite texture. Shower gen.
erously until the water fairly rains on
both the upper and the lower side of fol-
iage; the under part of the leaves can
only be reached by holding the pot aloft
lin one hand, while spraying with the
other, so closely do the leaves hug the
pot in awell known specimen. Thus treat
ed the plant needs no watering unless IN
the very hottest weather, when / either
shower them twice a day or pour tepid
water into the saucer.
Pot them in well rotted sod, or leaf
mould with the addition of a fourth part
coarse sand if convenient; if not. no diff
ference, as they grow like weeds either
way, only dry out more easily without
sand. Cover the bulb completely Dut
lightly. water sparingly until growth be-
gins, keeping the pot in a warm place
meantime, and transfer to an east win
| dow after the leaves show.

jamaica SorreI.

Considerable interest is being shown in

my opinion, will command greater respect,

cal name, but it is known here as the ia

three seasons in pies, jellies. marmalade,

opinion il win flourish anywhere in the
south under any conditions, the same as
a castor bean or a poke weed. The stalks

About Cow Peas.

They should be cultivated in drills, not
sown broadcast, as renovator of land.
The objection to sowing peas broadcast
are:
/. If sown among corn at the last plow-
ing, it is usually done too early to permit
the corn to receive the necessary cultiva-
ton and too late for the peas to mature
properly before frost.
2 If soWn after wheat or oats have been
harvested. they are likewise too late. More
than this. the time devoted to sowing is
usually needed on cultivated crops.
8. The vines are dwarfed for Jack of
proper cultivation. Consequently peas
should never be sown, except on rich land,
to be mown as hay.
A pea crop, to give good results, should
be properly stimulated. A perfect ferti-
lizer contains three elements-nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash. Acid phos-
phate and kainit contain respectively the
two last Pease draw the needed nitro
gen from the air, and consequently do not
need a direct application of nitrogen ma
nures, such as stable, guano, etc. Hence
by an application Of the two last elements
and by growing and turning crop of peas
in connection Herewith, the nrst mltro-
gem, which is by far more costly than
either of the other two. can virtually be
grown. BY noting this fact and acting
accordingly, farmers can reap an immense
advantage.
AS a proper stimulant for the peas, /
suggest an application of 300 pounds of
acid phosphate and 400 pounds kainit per
acre sown broadcast and plowed under
about March 10. Double this quantity can
safely be used. Early in April lay off in
drills eight feet apart, preferable in line
with the sun at 2 o'clock, and drop corn
eight to twelve inches apart, being half
the distance usually required when the
drills are four feet apart.
Corn requires a perfect fertilizer, and
consequently il will be necessary to streW
a proper quantity OF stable manure In the
drill After a crop OF pea vines has been
grown and turned under, no further ap-
plication of heterogeneous manures will be
needed. An occasional pea crop should be
turned under.
From the LIST 10 the 10th Of June cow
peas should be planted In drills midway
between the corn rows. They should be
thinned 10 one vine. six inches apart.
The plants should be pulled up, not cut

Upon many farms there is too great
neglect in one direction, and that is in
having a proper vegetable garden. If
there is any class of people in the world
that are entitled to all of the cultivated
productions of the soil that it is possible
to secure it is the farmers families; and
yet, how many there are that have but
few of the more common vegetables, say
ing nothing of small fruits that may be
enjoyed in their season. The farmer who
believes that the time spent in attending
vegetable and small fruit garden IS lost
stands in his own light; because from 1t
he does not receive any direct income is
no evidence that 1t is unremunerative; the
profit lies in the quantity of healthful
food that can be supplied at minimum
cost.
Those of very moderate means. even,
who live in the cities, frequently indulge
in far greater variety of vegetables and
fruits than families upon farms, because
they are to be had in the markets, but
are not grown in the farm garden. This
is all wrong; so the negligent farmers
should set at work at once in arranging
for the comfort and pleasure of the family
by planning for the cultivation of model
farm garden-one that shall contain at
least a little of such vegetables as can be
grown, and enough of the different varie-
ties of small fruits for an abundant sup
ply of the family for eating green and pre-
serving. 1t is surprising how few plants,
when properly cared for will supply the
actual necessities of a good sized family.
In this way food is supplied in fresh and
healthy condition, and is to be preferred
to doctors bills, which sometimes are oc-
casioned by a use of the partially decayed
fruit found in fruit stalls of city markets.

trial of having a first-class garden, and if

dry straw, or leaves lying upon the sur
face, serves to maintain the needed sup
ply of moisture, and does much toward
stimulating plant growth
The large growth of plants or grass,
reeds, canes or weeds on alluvial soil is
due as much to the abundant presence
OF humus a. to water. Low grounds get
not only the humus they produce annu-
ally, but much of that washed from up
lands IL is very important that lands be
so plowed as to prevent washing, as II is
the most valuable particles which the wa
ter carries away. For this reason many
slopes near streams should rarely. If ever
be plowed. The frozen lands of the north
are much less subject to loss from the
action of winter rains than those far
Their south. When the plant has form
ed the necessary elements to its growth
and has approached the season for seed
production, il requires lime, saline matter
and the grasses above named to perfect
stifen and enable Il TO complete the work
OF reproduction. II these are lacking in
the soil, the plant will be failure-will
be barren, seedless. Every farmer boy
should understand these underlying prin.
ciples of plant grow tn. They exist in ev.

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
Review of the Markets and the
Forces Influencing Them.

New York, April 4.-Wall street has
shown a decided recovery of tone during
the past week. The "bears' have exhib-
tied considerable alacrity in covering their
sales. London, after selling Americans
last Saturday and Monday, has since been
an equally free buyer; and both here and
abroad the speculative atmosphere has
cleared up, with the promise Of brighter
financial weather and smoother sailing.
After some months Of timid scanning OF
the eastern question. London, Paris and
Berlin and equally New York seem to
have come to simultaneous conclusion
that while IT has some conceivably very
grave possibilities, yet the probabilities
preponderate so largely in favor OF the
war being localized TO Turkey and Greece
that there is no sufficient reason why the
financial markets of the world should be
held In chronic restraint by these condi-
tons. The powers have forseen the con-
tingency which at last has happened.
They have prepared for the situation now
existing by mutual understandings; and
when the comba tants have exhausted
themselves they will fall as the potter s
clay into stronger hands, to be easily

Found Amidst Her spIintered Time
bers on winter Guard ShoaI.
The papers of the American barkentine
Nellie Smith, which was sunk in collision
with the Grand Duchess April were
picked up by the fishing schooner Lizzie
NJ Center. which arrived in New York
from the Virginia capes with catch OF
mackerel.
The New York Journal says the papers
brought in by Capt. Joe Smith of the Cen
ter give the names of the crew. In all
she had exactly eight men on board, and
OF these only three were saved. The
papers of the Smith we're found in a tin
box in the drawer that was floating among
a lot of other wreckage thirty miles orr
Winter Quarter shoals and 40 miles south
Of New York, not far from where she was
run down.
The Centre was on her way to the fishing
grounds, from Gloucester, Mass, when
the lookout reported wreckage ahead.
They found abundant evidence that ves-
sci had gone down, and from the appear
ance of the furniture, the Center's skip
per became convinced that she had sunk
after collision. The sofas were broken in
half a dozen places. and so we're the
chairs, with two exceptions. The whole
chairs, a patent rocker and a splint bot
toned chair, were taken aboard the Gen.
ter The Joiner work was splintered, and
the craft had evidently gone TO pieces be-
fore she went down.
IT was my opinion that the Nellie Smith
was sunk In collision" said Capt. Smith,
"and Il must have been a terrific Impact
at that. The wreckage looked as II the
Smith had been literally torn assunder and
chewed into bits. She was almost too far
north to have been in the path Of the lost

Camphor water on Plants and seeds

Mr.. W. NJ. Cory of the Owl Cigar Com
pany and president of the Florida Stale
Tobacco growers Association, gives the
following infalhble remedy for reviving
the vitality of seeds and wilted cuttings,
and which is especially good for those of
the tobacco plant To revive wilt
ed cuttings, soak their stems in So
luton of three or four drops of spirits Of
camphor to an ounce of water, and keep
the stems in this fluid for half a day or
more in a dark place, until they have en-
tirely recovered their freshness.
Camphor water will also cause seeds
soaked in it to terminate more quickly,
and in some cases, seeds that have lost
their vitality by long keeping, are restor-
ments undertaken by Prof. Vogel of Mu-
Mich, to substantiate the fact that cam
phor water promotes the growth, and pre-
vents the willing of tulips, etc, led to
the discovery that old seeds, which nave
almost lost their power of termination,
not only recover it when treated in this
way, but even terminate in larger num-
bers and more rapidly than fresh seeds
under ordinary conditions.
Thus, beans, which ordinarily require
eight to ten days to terminate, developed
in three days after being soaked in cam
phor water, and cucumber seeds that
would not come up at all in good soil, ger
minated soon, and without a single fail
ure. after their camphor bath; and what
is more remarkable still, the seed so ger
minated manifests a continued effect of
the camphor when transferred to good
garden soil, in the vigor of growth and
freshness of the plants. This fact, 1t is
suggested, might be of special value in
cases of expensive seeds that terminate
with difficulty.
