Menaces DESIGNED to sooths
N the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
From this time forward till the meeting
of the national conventions there will be
much threatening of the trusts on the part
of republican politicians. We shall hear
on all hands that the republicans have al
ways been Jealous in legislatng against
monopolies in trade, and that they are
determined to suppress the trust system
by the enactment and vigorous enforce
ment of such laws as may be necessary
But the trusts are not likely to take
alarm, for these menaces are designed to
soothe the discontents of American con-
sumers till after the election.

Vain Plot Against General Miles.

From the Springfield. Mass, Republican.
The whole wretched attempt to cover UP
the facts and to protect the men respon-
sible for perlling the lives of the soldiers,
even to the extent of praising the canned
beef ration and preventing any reform,
has failed. 1t has done so simply and only
because Nelson A. Miles challenged the
wrong situation in way that had to be
needed. Then it was purposed to down
him. That attempt has signally failed
and out of 1t all comes the order for a
study of how soldiers in the tropics ought

Stumbling the Porto Ricans.

From the Buffalo Courier.
Why does the president ignore the petit
tons and memorials of the Porto Rican
commissioners? They ask the substitution
of civil government for the military oc-
supation, free trade with the United
States, enlistment of Porto Ricans as SOL
diers and the right of American citizen
ship. AS Porto Rico is now a part of the
territory of the United States it is not
easy to understand how these reasonable
requests can be refused.

Bossism Among the Buckeyes.

From The CIeVeland Plain Dealer.
The Generalization of the republican
party in Onio can be traced directly to the
introduction of bossism. 1t was the boast
of both parties in this state that there
was no state boss, either republican or
democrat. In an evil hour the boss made
his appearance. But the Ohio republican
boss was deficient in tact and instead of
a union of me party under an ail-power-
fui leader there was revolt against AFRO
giant dictation. The result is the present
division and decentralization.

The Top Notch of Patriotism.

From the Pittsburg Post.
That we have money to burn in this
country is shown by the fact that it is
proposed to give banquet to Admiral
Dewey on his return, with guests limited
to 100 and the price for each plate $10O.
This in New York al the Waldorf-Astoria.
It will include the top notch and very elect

strike a higher note of patriotism, if
money is the gauge?

And that varieties which will keep for
several years at the North cannot he
depended upon here for half the length
of time.
In the case of flower seeds we know
of no record of experiments or table
of the duration of vitality. If the Seeds
mems catalogues would give some in
formation on this point it would be of
general interest and benefit to their
customers.
This last spring we sowed seed Of
number of varieties of flower seeds
that had been on hand for several
years. None of them grew except some
Gamma seeds. OF these we got about
forty seedlings from seed that was
nine or ten years old.
On the other hand the length Of
time that even very small seeds will
lie in the soil and still grow when the
conditions become favorable is very
surprising.
Years ago we grew TQrenia for two
or three seasons. But have not seen
a plant on the place for eight or nine
years until this summer. All the
plants put out came from seed sown
in boxes in the house, and by no pos
sible chance could any of the fresh
seed have cot ont to the beds. The
bed where the Torenias grew formerly
had not been dug up or cultivated for
several years until this last spring.
Quite a number of seeding Torenias
came up on this bed, evidently from
seed that had lain in the soil for at
least eight years.

which is very handsome, and it is not
common. I have left the best till the
last and that is the Grand Duchess;
this is pink sort with flowers two OF
three inches across and blooming for
many months together.
If I had but very little to spend for
bulbs | think I should invest in some
Oxalis and let the rest go by for one
year. The OXalis would 90 on in grace
and beauty for many years to come,
and these would be certain, then if l
could invest in other bulbs [ should
have them too; but where the purse is
flat and but few kinds can be had it
is best to get something that will be
JOY for a long time, and [ doubt if
there is another Understanding bulb
that gives as many flowers for the
money as the Oxalis does.
These bulbs do not need to be set
away in the dark to form roots, which
is another advantages; it does take pa
thence to wait for weeks to bring the
bulbs to the light, but the OXaI;s may
be set out and put right into the win
dow and in a little while the green
shoots will come UP and in due time
the buds. My experience calls for
sunshine for the OXalis.''

plenty of external air, when not too
cold, and the plant will grow vigor-

The fiat-growing, or common Vir-
ginia peanut, is the sort best adapted
for ornamental work. The reader
might get few seeds from any dealer

Vitality of Seeds.

The length of time that seeds may
be kept, with a probability that they
will grow, is a question that is not
easily answered. In the case Of veg
etable seeds some records have been
kept and tables exist, showing the
probable length of time that the diff
ferent varieties will retain their vi
tality. But even in this case it has
been found that our Florida climate is
not favorable to long keeping of seeds.

The Peanut An Ornamental Plant.

The Peanut An Ornamental Plant.
If any of our readers want a curious
and ornamental house plant, that it
will puzzle their visitors to name, let
them try the experiment recommends
ed by a correspondent of Vick's Floral
Magazine as follows:
"Few readers Of Vick's Magazine are,
perhaps, aware what a thing of beauty
is a common peanut plant growing in
a six or eight-inch pot and grown in
doors during the colder months. Kept
in a warm room, or by the kitchen
stove, a peanut kernel, planted in a
pot of loose mellow loan, kept only
nate, and grow up into a beautiful
plant. 1t is in a similar way that pea
nut growers test their seeds every
year, beginning even early in winter,
and the facility with which seeds will
grow in this way has suggested to
many Southern flower lovers the pos
sibility of making the useful peanut an
ornamental plant for the parlor or Sit
ting room window.
AS the plant increases in size, and
extends it's branches over the sides of
the pot in pendant manner, there are
few plants of more intrinsic beauty.
The curious habit of the compound
leaves of closing together, like the
leaves of a book, on the approach of
night, or when a shower begins to fall
on them, is one of the most interest,"
ing habits of plant life. And then,
later on, for the peanut is no ephemer-
al wonder, enduring for day or two
only, the appearance Of the tiny vel
low flowers, and putting forth of the
DeGuncles on which the nuts are form
cd under ground, imparts to this floral
rarity a striking and unique charm all
its own. There is nothing else like it,
and seedsmen might we'll add the pea
MT to their list of novel and rare
things.
The peanut likes the sun and
plenty of external air, when not too
warmth, but does not require much
water. Only keep the soil of the pot
rerceptibly moist, but not wet, and

Flowers at Sea.
Dear Floral Editor:
May 1 sprinkle this little sketch with
salt water? Thank you.
Fifty years ago lay in New York
harbor with a two thousand ton ship,
fully laden with a cargo, bound for
Calcutta. Two hours before sailing
three young lady friends came on
board with half a dozen potted
plants, three geraniums, two roses and
one carnation, all in bud. They knew
my love for plants and flowers, hence
the visit and gifts. I soon had the ship
carpenter at work making safety
shelf in the cabin, and another on
deck to secure my plants against &C.
cident The time being up and the pi-
lot being on board, [ babe my young
friends good bye, sent them ashore,
hove up the anchor, made sail and
was soon outside of Sandy Hook,
bound on a long voyage around the
Cape of Good Hope.
With close watching and care my six
Towering friends fourished and

learned to look for the plants OH deck,
and did all they could to keep them
safe from Old BoEas' angry threats.
On my arrival at Calcutta the Ameri-
can consul, Mr.. Thomas, came on
board ship to get latest news from
home. When he saw the plants his
captain did you bring those plants
out with you from New York;" When
| answered in the affirmative his next
was, II will bring my wife aboard to
see the new world plants" and next
day Oh board came the consul and
wife. Mrs. Thomas was a great lover

lish ladies came on board my ship to
see those plants, and ask how it was
possible to bring them so far and in
such fine condition.
My answers were: Care and love
did the job. After a stay away of
fifteen months I was again at anchor
in New York harbor. [ notified my
young friends that had a happy sur
prise for them. They came aboard
next day to dine with me, and see not
only their six plants, but six others in
bud and bloom.
This little incident shows what love
and care of plants may do, even on
long sea voyage on board a sailing YES
sci. [ had plants of several other
kinds with me for a number of vOy-
ages after this, always enjoying the
care they required, but not always as
successful as on the first voyage to
Calcutta.

The Oxalis.


an interesting account of her exper-
fence with Oxalis. In Florida they
will live year after year in the open
ground with very little care.
One of the large yellow Powered va
rieties has grown in a neighbours gar
den for several years and the number
Of blossoms given by the plant is as
tonishing:
'There are few if any of the small
that give the number of flowers that
the OXalis does. | think that these
small bulbs are being more and more
appreciated as the years go by. 1t is
not many years since we seldom saw
the winter blooming varieties; there
was an Old-faShiOned kind, none the
less lovely because it was old fashion
ed, a pink and white kind; this would
bloom and bloom the year round al
most, but it was quite novelty when
there came to me yellow OXalis spe-
cially for winter-blooming. The bulbs
were small, but they soon began to
send up their green shoots, and even
if there were not blossom the plant
would be most graceful and charm
| ing one.
The stems OH which the leaves grow
are long and graceful and branch out
some inches below the main stalk
sending out a great cluster of leaves
and buds; the buds soon begin to open
the brightest yellow eyes to the kiss
absorbed some of the same bright hue.
They are large and fragrant, and the
plant stays in bloom until warm spring
days almost merge into summer,
When it begins to turn yellow water
may be partially withheld and the

ny summer days it would again send
up it's tender shoots and begin another
winters work. The bulbs increased
rapidly. 1t can be grown year after
year without being disturbed and this
is an advantage over a good many of
the winter blooming bulbs, which after
once growing and blooming in the
house are hardly worth growing again
for that purpose, although they may be
set out of doors and so prOlOng their
usefulness.
There are three or four varieties of
the yellow OXalis; [ hardly know
which is to be preferred. Flava is a
lemon yellow. Lutea major is the
kind I have just been describing and it
is very beautiful. 1 have some of the
Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis this year
and these are very fine, with large
flowers two inches across. This varie-
ty also has a double kind and this is
beautiful too. I have an idea that the
single kinds bloom more freely but it
may be I am mistaken.
Versicolor is a brilliant kind with
flowers white bordered with scarlet,
making a strikingly snowy flower.

secret of the success of the Milwaukee
