Blooming of the Yucca.

The blooming of Yucca gIoriosi,
Familiarity known as the glorious
Adams needle, was considered enough
of an event to warrant quite an ex-
tended mention at Olevetand, o., re-
Gently. AS it was the first time The
plant had blossomed for thirty or for
ty years, the event was certainly Of
marked interest to the owner. The
flowers are white, beE.-shaped, appear
ing in cluster at the end of long
stalk, and are said to be most impress
sive when seen by moonlight. An o,i
thority on the plant says that as the
yucca grows old the lowermost foliage
decays, leaving thick, bare stalk; IA
fact, giving the stalk quite an arbores-
cent character. In height it is eX-
tre'mely variable; it's age before flow
ering also varies from five to fifteen
years, and it's subsequent intervals are
quILe uncertain. When seeds are per-
fected, as in it's natural country, the
stem and leaves become exhausted
and new growth takes place from I'M
derground buds.-Good Housekeeping.

corms should be lifted wlhen the top
indicates that the plant lis ripe. Never
allow them to become SO ripe before
digging tihut the top will separate from
the CORN, as i'm so doing the protect

posed to undue evaporation. The stem
should always be firm enough to re-
