Pink Lily of the Valley.

The following item from Parks Flo
raj Magazine is interesting and curl
Gus. If it is a fact that flowers can
be so easily colored, it might be a
source of considerable amusement to
experiment with them at home:
''In Mexico the native fakirs offer
fine spikes of Tuberose bloom in all
shades from white to deep pink, as
we'll as variegated. If you enquire
about the coloring they will assure
you that the colors are naturally pro-
duced, and offer you, at a high price,
bulbs which are sure to bear the col
ored flowers. They might offer varie,
gated pink sprays of Lily of the Val,
ley as we'll, and if you wish to know
the secret just place the stems of a
few sprays into a bottle containing
cardinal red ink. In two or three
hours you will have novel blooms Of
Lily of the Valley for personal adorn-
ment. The same "trick'' may be sue
cessfully employed in cOloring OrIer
flowers of similar character"

soil, others will not grow in it at all.
If you transplant a root of the fragrant
Azalea Cor Honeysuckle) that grows in
the mountainous parts of Pennsylva-
mia, you would have to form a rock
foundation for it a few inches below
the surface, or you would not succeed
in making it grow, as it's native soil is
only a few inches deep, below which
is a stratum of sandstone rock.
''The leaves of some plants cannot be
rooted while others will grow almost
in spite of you. I laid two dried
leaves of Bryophyllum in book and
several weeks afterward found them
sprouted at every notch in the leaves.
This plant is sometimes called life
leaf from the wonderful vitality of it's
leaves Fasten a leaf to the wall,
sprinkle it every day, and it will grow

Jasminum Hirsutum.

For persistent bloomer through the
winter we know of nothing better
than this plant. The bush is strong,
graceful grower; climber in rich soil
if given proper support On ordinary
SOIL if left to itself, the branches grow
up and then bend over in a graceful
curve.
The foliage is light green and the
bush is quite ornamental all through
the summer From the first of NO.
vember on through the winter it is
covered with bloom. The flowers are
pure white, about an inch in diane,
ter. The corolla is eight OF nine-lobed
and the blossoms are borne in clus-
tiers, one starting from the aXil of
each leaf The clusters vary, some
having only five or six blooms, while
others will have from nine to twelve.
The flowers in a cluster do not all
open at once, but gradually, seldom
more than two or three open at the
same time.
The clusters are very closely set on
the branches, from twelve to fifteen
in a foot of length, so that a long
curving stem looks like a garland of
white. The tops are not entirely
hardy, as it was killed to the ground
in February of last winter But it
will go on growing and blooming
through quite a sharp frost. 1t de-
serves to become more widely known
and more generally planted than it is.

The PancratiumS.

In Vick's Magazine Chas. E. Parnell
of Floral Park, L. l., gives an interest
ing account of Pancratiums. AS they
are hardy in Florida and will grow
year after year in the open ground,
we omit his directions for house-cul-
ture, etc, which are only applicable
at the North.
''The pancratiums are also known as
Hymenocallis, and popularity as "Spid-
err Lilies" They are interesting half
hardy dubious rooted plants, having
coated bulbs, long linear leaves which
are mostly deciduous a few being per-
sistent, and producing their large,
pure white, deliciously sweet scented
flowers in bracted umbels; each UNI
bel containing from ten to twenty
flowers. Although some of the spe-

Lobelia Cardinals.

Some weeks ago we gave brief de-
scription of this plant in some notes on
native plants. We find the following
in Vicks Magazine. 1t contains some
additional items of information:
''The Lobelia cardinals, or Cardinal
Flower, is the most snowy Of our ma
tive plants. It's rich, cardinal-red
shade is extremely rare in flowers; in
fact, we can recall no other wild flower
of the same gorgeous hue. Though
growing naturally in rather wet spots,
it takes kindly to cultivation and will
grow and blossom very satisfactorily
in almost any location, particularly if
it is where dash of water can be
given it once in while. 1t begins to
blossom in July, and the long spikes of
brilliant flowers will continue opening
to the very tip, lasting until the latter
part of August.
Numerous side shoots spring out
from the main stalk and lengthen the
time of Towering, and these little
sprays mixed with some fern fronds
are lovely for table decoration.
'"The plant can be raised successfully
from seed, but will not bloom until the
second year. With us, while not com
mon, it is sufficiently plenty that roots
can always be obtained if you know
where to go for them. [ have found
that after the seeds have ripened the
flower stalk withers and in the fall a
new growth starts, forming a little
green rosette of leaves, and this is the
best time for transplanting.
'"This summer [ found a plant with
pure pink blossoms growing in the
midst of hundreds of the typical col
ored flowers. I thought it a rare find,
as [ had never seen or heard of any
such before. Later l found that one
of the same color was growing in a
bed of seedlings at Highland Park

Study Your Plants.

A correspondent of the Mayflower
writes very interestingly on this sub
ject Yet she only touches the surface.
1t is often an important matter to
know the root habits of plants. For
instance Gladiolus bulbs form each
year a new bulb above the old one. If
left undisturbed few years they will
eventually come to the surface. On
the other hand Tigridias form new
bulbs each year below the old one. If
left undisturbed they soon bury them
selves too deep for the sprouts to
reach the surface. Therefore both
Gladioli and Tigridias should be taken
up and reset each year.
''Many people who really love plants,
never study them at all, while others
study the foliage and blossoms only;
but the one who studies the roots or
bulbs as we'll as the foliage and flow
ers, finds many things about them
that seem wonderful, for there is as
much difference in the habits and char
acteristics of plants as there is among
people.
''Some bulbs when planted stay near
the surface, while others will work
their way to the very bottom Of the
pot before they make any growth Of
foliage worth speaking Of. The Japan
Lily is a good specimen of this class.
"Nearly all bulbs hang together as
they multiply, and will stay together
for years unless separated; but last
year my Spotted Gala had two large
bulbs, grown together, when planted;
when dried up and taken up in the fall
they had separated Of their own &C.
cord, and grown away from each other
until they were quite distance apart.
''Notice the roots as they grow from
the bulb of the Spotted Gala, and you
find them all growing from the top Of
bulb, while the lower part is free from
roots, and looks like a turnip, but take
the bulb of a common Gala Lily and
the roots grow from the bottom.

years.. it is not until within the past
few years, that they have been
brought prominently before our anna
teur cultivators4 under the popular
name of Spider Lilies, and they well
deserve al THAT has been said in their
praise, as the bulbs can be procured
at very moderate cost, and are well
adapted for cultivation in the green
house or window garden during the
winter months, and, also, in the flower
borders during the summer season.
Propagation is effected by offsets
which may be carefully removed
when the bulbs are being repotted or
planted outside. They will require
the same treatment as the parent
bulb, but it will be several years be-
fore they are large enough to bloom.
Of the many varieties the following
are the most desirable:
Pancratium Carribaeum-This is
popularity known as the Spider or
Spanish lily. 1t is a native of the
West Indies, and the extreme southern
parts of Florida, and when we'll
grown is a magnificent plant, with
wide, rich, evergreen leaves and pro-
duces during it's season of growth
large clusters of fragrant flowers
With little care, the plants of this
species can be kept in a constant state
of growth.
=. COrOnarium.-This rare and beau
tiful species is native of the rocky
islands of the COngaree river, in tile
north Of Florida. 1t grows about two
feet in height, and has bright green.
lance linear leaves.
Z. Calathinum, is popularity known
as the Sea DatfOdil Its flowers are
very fragrant and of pure white
color
p. Ovatum, is one of the most rare
species, and is beautiful beyond de-
scription. Leaves very large, of a
bright green color, and the flowers
which are produced in immense truss
es are white, and highly fragrant.
=. ROtatum. is a native of Florida,
and closely resembles p. Carribaeum,
but is smaller in all it's parts, the flow
er spike bearing only one or two flow
ers. Two or three bulbs can be placed
in five or six-inch pot. 1t grows
about eighteen inches in height, the
leaves being long. strap-shaped, and of
glaucous green color"
