CD with so many common names as
has been bestowed upon this one
since it's introduction into the United
States one short year ago. A common
name which is descriptive and at the
same time euphonious is always de-
sirable for a plant-especially one
for wide cultivatiOn-and the name
Chenille Plant seems to answer these
conditions exactly. One enterprising
(?) florist advertised the plant as the
"Philippine Medusa, Dewey's Favorite
Flower" in the face of the fact that so
far as known it is not a native of the
Philippine Islands; and it is probably
safe to say that Admiral Dewey had
never seen or even heard of the flower
at the time. This very palpable at
tempt to trade on the greatness of the
Admiral's name showed questionable
taste to say the least. Other common
names bestowed upon the plant are:
Bloody Cat TAIL Comet Plant"
"Dewey's Pride,' Glove Hangs Bleed,
ing" and ''Tassel Plant"

What a splendid type of tireless ac-
tivity is the sun as the psalmist de
scribes it issuing like "a bridegroom
from his chamber and rejoicing like
strong man to run race" Every
man ought to rise in the morning re-
freshed by Slumber and renewed by
rest. eager for the struggle of the day.
But how rarely this is so. Most people
rise still unrefreshed, and dreading
the strain of the days labOrs. The
cause Of this is deficient vitality and
behind this lies a deficient supply Of
pure, rich blood. and an Inadequate
nourishment Of the body There is
nothing that will give man strength
and energy, as will DR.. Pierce's Gold
Ell Medical Discovery. 1t does this
ty of the blood supply. This nourish-
eS the nerves, feeds the brain, builds
up enfepbled organs. and gives that
sense of strength and power which
makes the struggle of life joy. The
good feeling" which follows the use
of "Golden Medical Discovery" is not
due to stimulation as it contains no al
cOhOl, whisky or other intOXicant. 1t
does not brace up the body, but
builds it up into a condition of sound
health.

Daubentonia Punicea.

This very desirable shrub is almost
unknown among the flower lovers of
Florida. We do not know that it has
ever been offered for sale, we have
never seen it listed in any catalogue.
1t is native of Brazil, and belongs
to leguminOsae, the great pulse or pea
family. 1t has escaped from cultiva-
ton and is found growing wild in
waste places and open lots in Green
Cove Springs, Apalachicola and prob
ably elsewhere. On good soil it grows
to height of from ten to fifteen feet
When killed to the ground by severe
freezing it very soon RECEIVERS itself
The form of growth is bushy and scat
tering, not often tree-like. The leaves
are compound composed of from ten
ers grow in long dropping racemes,
are quite gOOd-Sized, pea shaped and a
bright red in color. The legume or
seed pod is so entirely different from
all others we know of, that there is no
danger of it's being mistaken for some
other variety. The pod opens like a
pea pod and contains a number of
dark, hard seeds. The pod is four
sided and each angle is prolonged into
a wing, often a half inch or more
broad. These give it a peculiar ap-
pearance The shrub usually blooms
two or three times during the season
and the plant is always ornamental
whether covered with it's bright flow
ers or it's odd-loolIing seed pods. We
have never heard any common name
for it, unless some small seedlings
received the other day, labeled Red
pea tree" are this plant. 1t will no
doubt become popular eventually and
deservedly so. After it becomes estab-
lished it needs no farther care. but
will take care of itself.

Acalypha Sanderi, or Chenille Plant.

Acalypha Sanderi, or Chenille Plant.
There are two sides to every ques-
ton. Not every plant that is intro
duced with a great flourish of trum-
pets is really worthy of cultivation.
Doubtless the plant named above has
been greatly over-praised. Some who
have tried it this past season have
denounced it in unmeasured terms as
a fraud Yet the weight of evidence
seems to be in support of its claim
to be a very desirable novelty. The
following account from the MayfioWer
contains much interesting information
in regard to it:
Until quite recently the Acalyphas
have been known to fioriculturists in
general simply as bright-hued foliage
plants valuable for bedding and for
mingling with plants Of palmer leaf
age, but like the COleus and most 9th
err plants with brilliant foliage, value
less for their flowers which are incOn-
years there has been discovered and
introduced into cultivation a plain
green-leaved species of Acalypha
which produces flowers of most re-
markable beauty and brilliancy, and
which has caused nothing short of a
sensation wherever it has been grown
and exhibited.
1t was found in New Guinea by Mon
sieur Micholitz, a bOtaniSt and adven-
turous plant hunter who some time
previous discovered the new Moth Or
child growing out of the bleaching
skulls of Papuans. This time he was
leading an expedition into a remote
district Of New Guinea-where he

ground, but also from the tops of the

who have seen the plant with it's

impressed was he by their great beau

name is the correct one, according to
the law of priority, it has been so
widely disseminated as A. Sanderi

be most universally used.

death-wound under the ribs.

Designers Pass from Valentines to Wall

A leading manufacturer of wall pa
per has this to say regarding the pref
ty, fanciful designs that decorate
household walls:
Many of our best designeN were
once comic valentine artists. The pay
for the latter work is meager, but the
artists do not entirely depend on
sketching for q living.
"The majority are untitled for high
class work, but one here and there
drifts into black and white. Wall-pa-
per designers earn good wages. Five
years ago a valentine artist threw up
the ugly caricatures in disgust; he
earns from $25 to $50 weekly now, his
floral patterns being at once striking
and original.
ANY girl designers? A few here
and there; we were told of young
lady, who, formerly Christmas card
artist, turned her attention to wall
patterns. Though less artistic than
bird and landscape painting, it pays
her better. Light designing is very
suitable for ladies with an eye for
pleasing patterns"
