low sort with large flowers; Lutea, an
old favorite; Lutea plena, double yell
low; Floribunda, pink, and Floribun-
da alba, white.
All of the above varieties are grown
from bulbs, which may be planted in
a four or five inch pot, thus securing
good head of foliage and a larger
number of blooms i'm one mass.
The OXalis will thrive well in ordin-
airy garden soil, but if the seed is
rather poor, the addition of small
portion of we'll rotted manure and a
little sand will be beneficial.
After the plants have ceased bloom
ing, withhold water entirely and al
low the soil in the pot to become
quite dry. After remaining in this
condition for a period of eight weeks
or more, they may be taken out of the
dry soil, repotted, watered and start
ed again into growing condition.
Keep the plants in a warm, sunny
window while blooming, and water
them we'll as often as is necessary.

Carnations for the Window.

The carnation is an ideal plant for
the window and is especially so for
culture in rooms which are heated
only from stoves in adjoining rooms.
during the fall and winter from for
lists at moderate prices, and if accord
ed window space in the cool part of
the room will bloom abundantly dur
ing the winter. One of the best
blooming plants the writer had last
winter was a carnation which had
been grown in the open ground dur
ing the summer, the buds being
pinched off as they appeared. just
before frost, in the fall, it was lifted
with a ball of earth adhering to the
roots, carefully potted and taken into
an upstairs room partially heated
through a hole i'm the floor from the
room below. This plant had space
with others near an east window and
bloomed profusely through the win
ter with but one short rest of about
two weeks.
Heat is not desirable for carnations,
for when too warm the plant will not
bloom and is liable to attacks of in
sects. Last winter, growing the Mar
guerite carnation from seed was tried
and with entire success.
The blossoms are dainty, come
thickly on the plant and are delic-
iously fragrant; moreover, they are
so easily grown from seed and bloom
so quickly and satisfactorily that
they are an ideal flower for the Win
dow garden. The seed were sown in
a shallow box November LIST, and ear
ly in March bloom was plentiful.
Seeds sown now would give an early
spring crop of flowers which would
be thoroughly appreciated.-Ex.

A Legend of the Peach.

The japanese who claim to have
first discovered or utilized the peach,
have a quaint legend as to the fruit
A pious old couple stricken with
years and poverty, subsisted by beg
cling. One day on the highway the
old woman found the beautiful fruit
Although almost famished, she did
not selfshly eat the fruit alone, but
took it home to divide with her hus-
band. AS the knife cut into it the
fruit opened and an infant sprang
forth, who told the astonished beg
CARS that he was the god Shin TO- and
had accidentally fallen from the or
chard of the Japanese heaven while
at play with some other gods and
goddesses. For eNtricating him from
the peach, Shin To gave the Japs it's
seed to plant, and told them it's pro-
duct would make them worthy. This
is the origin of the peach, according
to my Chicago friend, Blupperson,
who told me this story.-P. Green, i'm

Disease of the Easter Lily.

A bulletin has been issued from the
Agricultural Department on the dis
ease of the Easter Lily, which de-
stroys in this country from twenty to
sixty per cent. of the entire crop, eX-
elusive of the bulbs which fail to
grow or that make worthless plants,
the loss from which ranges from five
to even thirty per cent. The disease
is characterized by spotting and dis
tortion of the leaves and flowers, and
usually the stunning of the plants.
The principal causes assigned are
wornout soil, premature removal of
flowers and flower stems, premature
harvesting of bulbs, carelessness in
selection of propagating stock, bad
treatment during the forcing and the
depreciation of insects. AS remedies it
is suggested that only strong and
vigorous plants oe used for propaga-
ton, crop rotation should be prac-
ticed, chemical fertilizers used and
premature digging avoided.

turned, as they surely are when rest
ing upon the broad top of the veranda
rail. Another advantage thus gained
is that the pots are not fully exposed
to the sun, and the roots are not like
ly to be burned out. A flower box of
considerable length and just high
enough to come to the top of the rail
will also prove very attractive when
filled with choice collection of flow
ers. 1t does house plants much good
moreover, to get them out of doors
in this way for the summer months,
while lin the position shown they can
be much more easily cared for than
when in the house.

The Plumed Hydrangea.

Few of us yet have learned how
great was the gain for our gardens
when the large Powered form lof the
hardy panicled Hydrangea, H. pani-
culata grandifiora, reached our shores
from it's Japanese island home. BY
the use of this plant there is ait com
mand a means to brighten garden
grounds and lawns easily and per-
manently in late summer and early
autumn-a season when the lack of
blooming shrubs is most seriously
felt. Here is what is said of the
plumed hydrangea in Vick's Maya
zine:
"The hardness and vigor of this
plant enables it to withstand great Sc
verities of climate. If once planted in
fair soil, it sturdily pushes a growth
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-12-29

which insures it's future endurance.
It's profusion of bloom and the great
size of it's panicles make it an ex-
tremely snowy object. Even small
plants will bloom the first year Of
their planting, and every annual in
crease of size also adds to the amount
of bloom. The plumed hydrangea
makes a very good single specimen
and can be trained in bush form or as
standard in the form of small tree
with about three feet of stem and a
large, broad head. 1t is thus, in one
or the other of these forms and as a
single specimen on the lawn, that it
is most frequently seen.

The birch bark was touched with

the pine cones and birch bark for
sentiment and the solid gold basket

Winter-Blooming Oxalis.

The Oxalis in many respects is one
of the prettiest and most satisfactory
window plants we have and owing to
it's ease of cultivation and very free
Towering qualities should find place
in every collection of house plants.
Among the best varieties to grow
are the Bowel, very charming va
riety having strong, heavy foliage and
bearing large rose colored flowers;
Versicolor, the closed flowers of
which are very delicately marked;
Bermuda buttercup, an improved vel
