1t is now possible to give q summary
of the death and destruction with fair
ccurateness. The official list of known
dead contains 102 names; five unidenti-
fled bodies have been buried beside
some parts of bodies. y conservative
estimate Of the bodies still in the ruins
of people not reported missing, would
be fifteen. This brings the loss of life
to about 125. The best estimate on the
loss of property in the city of New
Richmond, compiled from list of in
dividual property owners who lost ev-
erything, reaches total Of $55O,OOO. To

The Coleus is easily grown, especial

it requires pinching back in order to
give to it a bushy form; for, if allowed
to ''run right up" it is tall and stray
Cling 1 have grown the Coleus sue
cessfully for several years and know
whereof 1 speak.
The Coleus may be grown from
seeds, but of course the growth is
rather slow until a certain period is
reached, but afterwards the growth
is very rapid. Coleus seeds must be
sown very early, under glass, if desir
ed for bedding the same season. Seeds
sown later make lovely plants for win
ter; and they brighten up the window
garden wonderfully.
Someone has aptly said, eff one
can't have blossoms, he or she can
have foliage" Truly, of all foliage,
the foliage of the Coleus is the most
beautiful. The Coleus, in it's endless

Two Spring Blooming Shrubs.

Among the hardy Towering garden
shrubs are the many spireas. There
are so many different varieties, that
bloom can be had nearly every month
in the year. Prunifol1a is white, now
with long branches of pure white,
daisy-looking flowers. This is used
a great deal in the cemeteries here,
and the plants with long, heavy-laden,
white branches seen at the close of
day, under the dark evergreen trees,
look indeed like guardian angels.
Spirea aurea, with fine ferny foliage
and dotted with little white single
flowers, is pretty always, and blooms
here nearly all the year, but is at it's
prettiest in the middle of winter
when there are so few outdoor flowers.
The shrub is bare of foliage all win
ter, but blooms all summer and fall.
Brumaldi is also a fine summer bloom
er, has pink flowers in large fiat heads
like elder. Van Hautt should be call
ed fountain spirea, for when in bloom
it looks like a white fountain; it is an
early spring bloomer. There are many
others, and spirea, Anthony Naterer
is the very best of ALL 1t is very
dwarf and blooms in large heads nine
months in the year.-Texas Farm and

Caring for Ferns.

"A good many ferns that live in
rooms during the winter come to grief
because they are kept warmer than is
good for them. The atmosphere is dry
and arid, and quite opposite to the
natural conditions under which most
ferns live. A very little thought would
show us how diIerent are the cOnd1-
tons we are providing. Ferns greatly
enjoy the slight relief afforded by an
hour or two in a mOister atmosphere
than we aim at in our living rooms,
and will be improved and treshened
by such a change.
Many ferns that are cultivated in
the ordinary greenhouse will grow
well in rooms if they get good share
of light and are not too parched They
cannot be grown in a room in which
there is fire daily all through winter
and spring. Ferns are also much spoil
ed by over watering at the roots. AL
though we find them, both at home
and abroad, in fairly moist portions,
their roots are almost always upon a
bank and beneath trees or hedges that
would throw off showers and absorb
the greater part of the moisture. None
of our ferns will grow in a sodden
soil. Nor is it well to have them in a
peaty soil alone.
If we cannot sponge over the fronds
Of our feathery growing ferns, we can
give them an occasional wash with the
syringe and tepid water. Once allow
them to get dusty and dry, their pores
choked and kept in an arid atmos>
phere for a long time, they will soon
show a thin and unhealthy condition.

The Coleus.

No amateur florist can afford to neg
lect the growth of the COleus, since it
is the most ornamental bedding plant
in cultivation, besides being beautiful
for conservatory anu window garden;
and it is equally beautiful for the din.
ing-roOm-especially for table decora-
ton If you have no blossom, pluck
the foliage off a Coleus plant, sprin>
kle, as it we're, over the snow-white
table linen, then note the effect. These
COlus leaves are almost as pretty as
rose buds only the perfume is lacking.
A single Coleus is a dazzling beauty
for the table, and who would be
without plant or blossoms for the ia
BILE?
AS a border plant the Coleus is SUI
perb, while for edgings, holdings, vas
es, urns, ETC., it has no superior anG
it can't be surpassed in loneliness for
ribbon beds, carpet beds, etc. The
prettiest ribbon bed | ever saw was
made of COleus plants, cOlors harmon
izing.
Do you know that the foliage of
many of these plants is equally as
pretty as the most beautiful blossoms?
Then it is not only the most ornament
al and beautiful but the cheapest, as
they sell at five cents each. A few Of
these lovely, variegated-leaved plants
will make a bed of which all the fam
lily will be justly proud, even the
''gude mon,'' for he, too, loves flowers
and plants in way.
Always give the Coleus plenty Of
light, as it delights to bask in the sum
light of heaven, the sun drawing .Ouc
the cOlOrs in all their brilliancy. If
grown in the shade or semi-shade, the
foliage is dull.
Some varieties of the Coleus family
are very excellent, fine and distinct,
and among them 1 find: Shylock,
