ly injured. My shed was finished eX-
cept closing in the sides, last spring
and the beneficial effects upon both
trees and land, covered with a
half shade, have been all that
anticipated in my article pub
lished in the September 18th
and October 9TH issues of your paper
in 1898.
Notwithstanding all that I therein
said of the summer benefits of half
shade, hardly any one seems to have
realized that the shed was built for any
other purpose than as a protection
against cold in winter
Those who have watched these trees
through the drOuths and hot weather
of the past summer are beginning to
see results that surprise them, and
there are now few such who do not eX-
press the wish for a shielded grove.
while some, who a year ago ScOffed at
the idea. are now planning to cover
what trees they can in the near future.

The Shed System.
w. S. Harris Shed.

EditOr FIOridd AgricUltmjst:
In the problem of protecting orange
groves, and other half hardy trees and
plants from injury by cold largely lies
the future prosperity of Florida. Nor
is she alone in the need of some prac-
teal plan by which this may be ac-
complished as nearly every State in
the Union could make profitable use of
such plan if once found. AS this whole
matter is, as yet, almost wholly within
the field of experiment, it surely seems
desirable that all, who are so situated
as to be able to do so, should try some
one or more plans along this line,
carefully note results, and, whether
successful or otherwise, give his fellow
horticrlturists, or agriculturists, the
chance to profit by them in exchange
for what others have done for him.
After carefully considering my own
needs and the several methods being
tried | last year decided to put my
trust in the G. Park Kinney plan, of

Japanese Flower Experts.

JapNnese Flower EXpefts.
People who read in books of travel OF
the art of cutting flowers and using
them for decorative purposes, as it is
practiced in Japan, do not half appre.
ciate the art. There was japanese in
New York few years ago who was in
greatdemand for decorating the houses
of wealthy people with flowers. His art
was one in which most japanese WON
en- are trained to greater or less de-
gree, but always to an extent that other
peoples do not appreciate. Flowers
seemed to yield to the def fingers Of
this man as if by magic. He twisted
and turned them, and they followed his
wishes so willingly that there was not
the appearance of suffering that the
awkward arrangement of flowers by
non-competent hands makes apparent
to the flower lover, The japanese wom-
an knows just how flower must be
cut, and whether it must be cut with a
knife or scissors or saw and whether
or not it needs singeing. She knows
whether it needs much or little water
and she arranges her flowers to keep
three or 30 days, as she desires.-N. Y.

the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in . state Of suppressed ex-
element. She sat beside "Miss Amy" a.
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com.
ment..
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat gin.
gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win.
dow and generally seemed uncertain con.
corning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
smiled audibly. .
