HOSPITAL FOR SICK PLANTS.
Studying the Water and Earth Which
Constitute Their Food.

Constitute Their Food
The Department of Agriculture of
the United States Government, has es-
tlblished a hospital for the treatment
Of sick plants. This institution is I'M
der the care of Prot b. T. Galloway,
chief of the division of vegetable pa
theology. 1t is occupied in the invest
cation of the diseases which affect veg
etable nature. and the discovery of
remedies for them. The work will be
primarily for the benefit of farmers.
An interesting experiment has just
been made with a violet plant. The
plant was put under a glass bell jar
and no air was allowed to get in or
out. The germs of a disease found to
injure viOlets were mixed with water
and sprayed upon the plant. Soon its
leaves broke out in large, yellow spots.
1t would not have caught the malady
had not its system been first injured
by i'll ventilation. After the bell jar
was removed the patient rapidly re.
covered.
! Valuable results are obtained from
feeding experiments. A row Of young
corn, standing in an irregular align
ment of sizes, furnishes the subjects.
To these are given water in different
quantities, and mixed with certain pro-
portions of salts, as found in the nat
ural soil. The roots are covered with
hair-like tubes, the mouths through
which the plants drink. When GER
tain strengths of salt are added, these
mouths become so badly puckered up
that the plants starve 10 death.
Plants which grow in salt marshes
along the seaside. are especially sup
piled with large mouths. BY learning
how much salt is in his soil, the farm
er can tell how healthy his corn croI
will be.

CEMETERY FLOWERS.

Select Those That Combine Beauty and
Hardy Constitutions.
Among the many Towering plants
that are lovely, some are loveliest and
fairest, for this sacred purpose.
First among all flowers, writes
George Torrey brennan, would I pre-
fer the rose, particularly the white.
For this treasure it's leaves hath the
white rose burst"
Select those that combine beauty,
hardy constitution and continued flor
escenAe. Some of the most eXquisitely
beautiful of all roses come under this
head. Nature so loves the rose that
the varieties have been multiplied to
infinitude, each color, to itself, in
types of beauty differing one from the
other in that nicely that makes dis
tinction without difference. Pure
white Roses are many and various.
Moss Roses are perfectly hardy, even
ironclad, and Blanche Moreau, as white
as snow and fine and creepy as crinkled
tissue paper, is as ever blooming as a
tea rose.
Mabel Morissen, the fair daughter of
the peerless Pink Baroness ROthschild,
although a Hybrid Perpetual, is strict
ly remOntant. Perle de Blanche is an
other pure white, that like Mabel Nor
issen. blooms in full clusters of very
double globuar, or cup-shaped flowers
Both are hardy. free, and very lovely.
Anna de Montravele is the whltest and
sweetest of all the Polyantha or Fairy
Roses The diminutive roses are per-
feet in shape, and are always so nu-
merOus in the clusters that the sturdy
little shrub in shining Tea Rose foli-
age, covered as it always is in bloom
ing time, with buds and blossoms is
an ideal rose.
Rosa Wichuriana is unlike any 9th
er rose; it has almost evergreen foil
age, and flake white, single flowers,
with rich golden centers. The kindly
grace with which it spreads, low over
the surface of the soil, covering all
unsightly objects with its long branch
es of shining green leaves and dazzling
white blooms, cOmpensates for its de-
ficiency as an everblOOmer. Six weeks
of abundant towering, in spring or
early summertime, and then the low,
spreading green, carpeting the ground
so beautifully,is its credental for the
name so well merited of Memorial
Rose
Plant these with care and they viii
make ample return. Cemeteries should
be planted with flowers that suit the
environments of climate and natural
peculiarities. Only hardy plants
should be depended upon, unless spe-
cial care is bestowed; the White Roses
here listed are as hardy as the Spiraes
or Lilacs. In the South Tea Roses
are beautifully appropriate, but in the
North they would require protection
from cold. The iron-clad White Roses
are not to be surpassed. They are the
flowers that sleep not die, when the
season of blooming is over. They
stand as symbols of immortality, and
typify the apparent sleep, but sure
awakening of the loved ones. in their
silent though wakeful vigil, above the
sacred soil.
Breathe soft and low, o whispering
wind.
Above the tangled grasses deep,
Where those who loved me long ago.
Forgot the world and fell asleep.

In a wet season it requires a great
deal of extra labor 10 harvest the bean
crop. This is increased if the beans
ripen unevenly, as they are almost sure
to do in such seasons. Where the
stand is uneven, some will probably be

grown. Such beans will not be plump,
