Jim Quinn, a brickmason, was engaged
in work on a scaffold on the Smith
building on Soledad street, the scat
fold broke and precipitated him to the
ground about ten feet below, giving
him a considerable shaking up, but not
injuring him very seriously. However
he went home, where he attended his
injuries, which consisted chiefly in sew
eral bad bruises. There was a colored
laborer, known as Jess" also on the
scaffold at the time it fell, but he was
not injured enough to prevent him
continuing his work. The scaffold was
erected by Mr.. Quinn.

which attention has been given for
these purposes are Tenuissimus plu-
mosus and Plumosus nanus. A. spren-
geri is a species of more recent intro
duction which will become popular on
account of it's very fine foliage and
the length of it's willowy stems, which
make it strikingly attractive as bas-
ket or vase plant. 1t is said, also, to
have proved successful in window Gull
ture. In addition to these and of still

This new introduction is a precious
acquisition for greenhouses, winter
gardens and especially for room Gull
ture. It's foliage resembles a finely
feathered plume, of a soft emerald
color, surprising in elegance the fin

than most other kinds, is noticeable
for the lasting qualities of it's cut
stems, which render it particularly
appropriate for bouquet making and
for use among vase flowers.

A Talk About Dahlias.

To very many people it will be news
and scarcely credible news that dab
las have any freedom and grace of
form, or any delicacy and modesty of
color. The prejudice against them
may never again be as strong as it is
now. They are associated with a peri
cd of Journalism which found it's ex-
preston in highly artificial camellias,
and in carnations from which the
fringes, their natural beauty-had
been painfully removed by a long
process of plant-breeding. The era of
hoop-skirts was the time of the dahl
liza furore; and what tyrant the dah-
liza was! 1t is still remembered as a
flower the size of a croquet ball, al
most as hard in outline, and with col
ors sometimes equally coarse and
gaudy. How are the mighty fallen!
The reaction against formal flowers
carried the popular enthusiasm to-
wards the loose, free, and fantastic
Japanese chrysanthemums. Perhaps
the deserted idol felt that the popu-
lace had gone off to strange gods. But
[ like to think that the poor dahlias
breathed a sigh of relief when their
convent days were over. They revelled
in their neglect. 1t was bad enough
to have their natural inclinations
snubbed and suppressed. But it was
very hard, after a period of success,
to be accused of inherent primness
and stiffness when those qualities
were merely the result of their rigid
system of education. The fault was
not with the dahlias, but with the sin
gle standard of beauty that was in
the minds of men. AS matter of fact
the dahlia is probably able to express
itself in as many wonderful and indie
scribable forms as the chrysanthe-
the chance. Chrysanthemums have
been in cu1tiva ton, it is said. for two
thousand years. The double forms Of
the dahlia are less than century old,
and the so-called "cactus dahlias''
which are going to save the whole
race by their freedom and informal
ity practically date from 1879. when
the first cactus dahlia was exhibited
and pictured in England. We already
have many forms which are surpris-

ingly like some of the chrysanthe-
NUNS, but the evolution of the dahlia
is only just begun.
The first dahlias seen in Europe
grew in the Botanical Gardens at
Madrid in 1889. The seeds were sent
from Mexico. In 1914, the first double
forms were produced at Louvain, Ho1-
land, after three years work. All
members of the composite family that
have through the process of doubling
and have enough fleXibility to entit1e
them to extended cultivation exhibit
at least three strongly marked ten
denotes. One tendency is to repro
duce the single forms. This habit can
be easily fixed and flowers of this type
are called single varieties. Another
tendency is toward the production OF
very large globular flowers that are
completely double. These large-fow-
ering varieties are the hardest to pro-
duce and the hardest to maintain.
They are always priced most highly
because the element of human skill is
very large. A third tendency is to-
ward what are called pompons. These
are dwarf plants with spherical and
double flowers like the last but much
smaller and much more abundant.
The single varieties are the most nat
ural the large-fowering and pompor
varieties are in a larger measure the
products of art The Iahlia was held
pretty vigorously to these old and ia
miliar lines of development, and I'm

the nature of the dahlia. The first
double forms came to England in The
winter of 1914, and in 1926 there were
already sixty varieties cultivated by
the Royal HorticulturalSociety. In 1911
one English dealer had over twelve
hundred varieties.
plant that had been in cultivation
practically only twenty-seven years.
Many other species have been in cul-
tivation for more than quarter Of
century before showing any signs of
"breaking the type" /. e., making
pronounced variation from their wild
form. Tt also gives some hint OF the
extra ordinary range of color, for the
dahlia was permitted to display its
color charms in but three forms, the
single. the pompon or small sphere,
and the big sphere of the large-fower-
ing varieties.
Tn the forties and fifties variegated
flowers were in great demand. Dab
las were striped, banded, speckled,
penciled. dotted, blotched, and mark
ed in all sorts of curious ways. There
was as much ingenuity in the inven-
ton of these unstable compounds as
is now displayed in designs for wall
paper and oil cloths. These things
were catalogued under the Fancy
class. for the English divide the large
towering varieties into "Show'' and
"Fancv." The 'sShow' section con-

Indoor Use of Ivies.

The sunny winter window full of
flowers, for which. already so many
lovers of greenery and blossoms have
perfected their plans, is not, simple
as it may seem, within the reach of ALL
Some who would like it have not the
space, others have not the tempera-
ture, others have not the time.
But people who cannot have a win
ter garden within doors can usually
have, if they will, a bower, a garland,
a spray, wreath, a refreshing CLEAN
of green somewhere in the house.
There are few faithful plants so read
lily tended so easily placed, that they
seldom fail their friends. Of these
the best and handsomest is the Eng
lish ivy.
1t will grow in almost any vessel
from a ginger-jar to Serves jardin-
iere or a discarded sugar bucket
painted green. 1t needs no direct sun,
if it can have light. 1t bears heat and
cold sturdily. 1t asks only good soil
to begin with, regular watering to fol-
low, sprinkling when convenient and
washing with a bit of rag when bugs
threaten it's beauty, and the pretty
rooms to which it will lend the final
touch of loneliness, the bare spots it
will cover, the ugliness it will veil, the
stiffness it will redeem are something
wonderful.
If there is a dingy or too staring
picture frame to be softened, instead
of hanging a gauze scarf or piece of
embroidered silk over it to detract
from the effect of the picture, place
bracket beneath it with a pot of IVY
and train the natural frame of green,
the most perfect possible, so as to
conceal the artificial one.
If there is an alcove for which you
cannot afford the draperies you wish
why an ivy or two running up plain
cords, or better, a bit of old fish net
through which it can Irvine gracefully
in and out, will provide it at once an
indisputably artistic and attractive
substitute.
It makes the prettiest of all decora-
tons for young girls dressing place,
especially if the glossy leaves are re-
lieved against white muslin drapery.
It may be allowed to hide stained
walls or patched place in the paper;
or it may Irvine along curtain pole
that cannot be discarded without de-
Placement after the portieres have
been banished.
An unusual and singularly success
full use was made of it in one artistic
home by crossing the ceiling Of a
small alcove room diagonally with
white cords and then placing color
ed jar of ivy on high bracket in each
corner. The vines met, crossed, loop
ed and tangled themselves together
until the place was a bower.
Our of doors in the stern New Eng
land climate, the English ivy is not
hardy, and the beautiful Japanese ivy
has fully and fifty taken it's place.
Within doors the English ivy is still
the queen of vines.-EX.
