disposing themselves in such fashion
that the idea of floral fountain is
easily suggested.
Like roses and some other flowers
Sweet Peas display their greatest
beauty of coloring, and put forth
their utmost powers of bloom in a
soft briny atmosphere. They love the
seashore in sheltered spots, and the
winged petals seem to take on vel
vety texture-the rich compilations
of the ''Painted Ladies' glow with
deeper hues-and more retiring sis
tiers in violet and purple catch from
the contact with salt air brighter and
newer tints. Even the white Sweet
Pea shows more dazzling whiteness.
AS winter plant the Sweet Pea is
not so satisfactory as one could wish.
1t has been sometimes tried in a
hanging basket, and coaxed into mod
crate bloom amid winter SHOWS; but
it does not take kindly to such condi-
tions, and is so chary of it's blossoms
that the most inveterate plant lover
becomes discouraged.-Ell Rodman

A Few Good Cannas.

There is a tremendous list of can
mas to select from, and the number
increases every year. Omitting newer
introductions, one may find an excel
lent selection, capable of affording a
fine show. Among dark-leaved sorts,
Egandale is especially good; the
leaves are purplish-bronze, flowers
Guaranteed. When planted in mass
the flowers have a particularly vivid
effect j. D. Cabos is a very good
sort, with dark foliage and apricot
flowers; it is vigorous and free, but
the flowers burn little under very
hot sun, thus giving a faded effect.
Among varieties with flowers giving
an effect of yellow Though not pure
Yellow, Capitaine P. de Suzzoni and
Florence Vaughan are the best of the
older sorts, the last named giving the
more vivid effect.
Among red-fowered sorts we can
select large list of meritorious vari-
cites. Flamingo, with it's vivid color
ing, continues to retain favor. AL
phonse Bowler bears compact spikes
of purplish- carmine flowers; it's
growth is very neat, and it is alto
gether very satisfactory sort. Chi
cago has dazzling vermillion flowers.
Columbia, with brilliant crimson
flowers produced in a. large cluster,
and very dwarf habit, is a beautiful
thing, but does not seem quite as
popular as it promised at introduce
ton.

National Flowers.

The Primrose is generally associ-
ated in the minds of most people in
a sentimental way. In the language
of flowers it signifies first love. How
ever, the Primrose in England has be-
come one Of state, and April 10 is
called Primrose Day. On that day
thousands of English people of all
ranks and sexes appear in the streets
wearing the pretty English wild
flower. The reason for it's social dis
tinction is that it was the favorite
flower of the late Lord Beaconsfield,
famous statesman, orator and novel
list. He died April 10, 1881; therefore
in honor of his memory it has been
worn every year, on the anniversary
of his death, by his admirers. The
gentle little flower may indeed be
said to have become a party badge,
for it is only Tories who for the most
part display it in their buttOnhOles
and on dresses. 1t was that fact
which caused the Tory women to
band themselves into a political so
ciety by the now famous name of the
''Primrose League" English women
as is we'll known have been taking a
very active part in politics, and the
''Primrose League" was doubtless the
first political band of women that
was formed in Her Majestys realm,
and the fact that it's organization
was inspired by the Primrose should
lend additional interest to that flow
er. But the Primrose is by no means
the first flower adopted as a political
badge. In the war of the roses the
House of Lancaster adopted the red
rose and York the white. The symbol
of French royalty was the Fleur-de-
lis. The Japanese cherish the chrys-
anthemum; the Egyptians, the hello
trope; the Assyrians, the water-lily;
the Hindoos, the marigold. Americans
have not yet been able to agree on a
national flower. The Golden-rod has
been a warm favorite, with the Indian
corn flower a close second. It is said
that Kentuckian put an end to the
discussion by writing twenty-four
pages of legal cap paper to President
Cleveland urging the claims of pan
sies The president was so exhausted
after it's perusal that he expressed
the hope that the matter might not
again come up during his term of Of
fee The selection of a national flow
er is still open for aspiring genius.
All of you doubtless will approach
the subject of the selection of a state
flower with trepidation, when you re-
call the bitter war waged among the

Growing Gladioli from Seed.


Gladiolus seed is best sown in wide
drills 1.-TWO to three inches), making
the rows 10 inches or more apart. AS
the termination is slow, taking three
or four weeks, it is quite necessary to
cover the rows with some moisture
retaining mulch. In practice, moth
ing has been found better than ex-
celsior, the fine Eastwood shavings
used so extensively for packing and
stuffing furniture. This material is
cheap and abundant, and quantities
may generally be had at any store as
refuse packing matter. 1t is light and
porous; does not pack down, while it
freely admits rain and air. The seed
lings are quite delicate at first, as
they have very small roots, and are
easily killed by hot sunshine or dry
ing winds. 1t is impossible to
grow gladiolus seedlings in open
air in the latitude of Virginia
without considerable shade dur
ing the mlQQle OF Tie udy. "A
series of frames about four by six
feet, made of plastering laths nailed
an inch apart, proved very satisfac-
tory. These frames may be support
ed on light railing at any conven-
lent height from the ground. In de-
fault of shading frames, the seeded
may, of course, be made on the east
ern or northern side of building or
tall fence In sowing the seed, put
it in thick enough to insure 100 to $50
plants to the foot of row, and cover
with more than half an inch of fine,
light soil, frming the ground we'll
before putting on the mulch. 1t pays
to have water handy and frequently
saturate the soil in dry weather, as
young gladioli are quickly checked by
drouth Given good seed, rich, light
soil, a mulch and shade during the
heat of summer, there should be no
more difficulty in growing Seeding
gladioli in Kentucky than ordinary
onion sets.-Rural New Yorker.

Utilizing the Sweet Pea.

Sweet peas make a very pretty and
effective hedge, thus combining beau
ty and utility-and in much shorter
time than any other plants so en-
ployed. In one case this fragrant
hedge was ninety feet long, and it
was used to separate the clOthes-dry-
ing space from the more attractive
grounds. The vines attained the
height of nearly six feet, and were in
perfect bloom and beauty all the
summer through-having been plant
ed early in the spring in two rows
about two and a half feet apart.
Abundant support was furnished
in an arrangement of cedar poles and
telegraph wire, the former being
planted as tri pod at each end Of the
rows, and the wire attached at the
foot of the outside poles and where
the poles crossed. The wires were
drawn tight and supported at regular
distances for the vines to attach
themselves, fine linen Irvine being
carried from wire to wire and soon
covered-so that at a little distance
the vines seemed to stand alone. The
poles of the tripods rose some dis
lance above their crossings, and these
were soon decorated with the bells of
the Morning Glory, so similar in it's
variety of colorings to that of the
Sweet Pea.
When in full beauty this floral
hedge was a highly decorative object,
and it effectually screened the I'M
sightliness of the family wash from
fastidious eyes. 1t could be far more
easily accomplished in a city yard,
which often does not reach a quarter
of the ninety feet, across which this
one so admirably combined the beau
tiful with the practical
It could also be made lovely and
fragrant screen against the ugliness
visible from many back windows.
Given long, narrow box for this
purpose, with simple trellis-work of
ordinary wire or Irvine, well-pulver-
lied and enriched earth, with a small
addition of sand and a moderate
amount of sunshine-Sweet Pea vines
being easily scorched, and if not act
ual1y dying, losing all their beauty in
consequence-anda pretty window, a
fragrant room and plenty of bios
SONS for cutting may be confidently
counted on.
A popularity of Sweet Peas is that
the higher they are trained the more
profusely they will bloom, and if all
fading blossoms are removed before
they can go to seed a constant sue
cession of bloom is secured. A pref
ty garden device is a Sweet Pea foun-
tain which is produced by planting
tall upright post firmly in the
ground and attaching the skeleton of
an umbrella to it at the top: The vines
planted at it's base will climb and
droop from the edge of the umbrella

THE DUEL.
A merry company went to dinner
that day on board the Queen.
None merrier was probably afioat in
any hour Of that year. Eight seated
themselves. Captain Trollope insisted
upon keeping the deck. Caldwell re-
manned at the wheel.
Before they sat down some Of the
gentlemen saw to the wants Of the two
seamen forward. Burn and Weston car.

and ships bread. some cabin delicacies
and two bottles Of champagne They
found the brace Of sailors in the gloomy

and was evidently in pain. and William

over and scuttle the ship, leaving them

murmuring when Burn and Weston en-
tered with their burden of good cheer.
The two seamen sat quiet, astounded by
the sight of the wine. Then William
smiled, but no determinable expression
could visit Harry's plowed up face.

The men brought up wine and drank
freely, but not one man got drunk.
