IponoeaS.

The Ipomoea family is a large one
1t includes the common Morning Clio
ry, and Purpura, the Japanese Morn
ing Glory, L? large number OF
varieties more or less ornamental and
last but by no means least lpOmOea
batatas, Our common sweet potato.
This last item may be a surprise to
some of Our readers. Yet any who
have ever seen sweet potato vines in
bloom, will remember how very much
like Morning Glory blossoms the flow
ers are.
The varieties in cultivation are most
ly ANIMALS, or, if not, are used as such,
seed being planted each year, and the
vines being left to die from frost.
Several very desirable varieties are
perennial, and if the tops are frozen
they sprout again readily from roots,
here in Florida when the weather be-
comes warm. One of the best we have
seen is |. Learii, sometimes called
"Blue Dawn Flower" The foliage
will stand very little frost, but the
vines often live through quite sharp
frost. The roots are not large and
only mass of fbres, yet they mostly
went through the freeze of last Febru-
airy, when the temperature went down
to 10 degrees. The flowers are rich,
dark blue, and look like Morning Clio
ries, but are very much larger. They
open in the night or very early morn
ing, and in hot weather close by noon,
but in cold weather they often remain
open until the second morning, and by
that time they have changed in color
from dark blue to reddish purple, al
most red. 1t is one of the most pro-

white and yellow Oleanders, Paris
Daisies (Marguerities) Poincianas,
Pleroma splendens, Plumbagos, Ruel-
liza formosa, Russelia juncea, Roses,
Salvias, Tecomas, Thunbergias, and
Tabernaemontana. Among climbers:
Aristolochias, Allamandas, Agdesmia

drons, Ipomoeas, Jesasmines, Passion
Vines, Pereslzia Barbados GoOseber
ry), and SOlanums. These are not all
hy any means that may be successfully
grown, but include those l am most
familiar with and which are easily OBJ
tanned.
In case of a severe freeze it is advis-
able to Immediately prune away the
frozen tops, removing a little of the
top of the banking and cutting down
to live, healthy wood. If this is not
done some of the very sappy ones, and
especially those having milky sap, are
apt to die back below where Frozen
and in some cases eventually dying
completely. 1t is an easy matter to
make a mound of sand around plant
which will save at least foot of the
stem. A friend in Lake county places
a box 1S inches high around his Royal
Poinciana and fills up the box with
sand. In this way he saves stump
a foot to Is inches high from which a
beautiful top grows during the summer
and fall. But cnce OF twice he nearly
lost it through neglecting to cut it off
right after freezing. Many quite ten
der plants may be successfully pro-
tected from our ordinary frOsts-and
quite sharp ones, toby placing a
covering over them, either of brush OIL
burlap, quilts, etc., hung on stakes
taller than the plants to be protected
The cloth covering must not rest on
top of the plants or they will freeze
through it wherever they touch.

1t is an extraordinary thing that in
the international college games in
1894 and since the Englishmen carried
off most of the honors in the runs,
and the Americans excelled in hammer
throwing and weight-putting. AS re-
CARDS the running, the Englishmen
must be credited with more endur-
ance, and the conclusion seems just
that the American college has more
muscular strength, for in the feats OF
strength the Englishmen made a sorry
showing.

though VIC lldu llldHy lIOuooliuo Va
blossoms, none of them have ever set
a single seed.
Ipomoea sinuata, or as it is called in
South Florida, "Noonday Glory is
another very valuable variety. 1t
the vine never blooms it would
still be very desirable. The
leaves are cut and divided until
they look very much like "Rose
Geranium" leaves The flowers are
pure white, open about nine or ten
o'clock a. m. and close before night.
The root is like the I. Learii, and us
ually lives through the winter. But
last February ours we're all killed, SO
that we have only this years seedlings
left. It is rapid grower and is very
desirable for. summer screen.
Ipomoea Michauxii is another native
of Florida. The root is large tuber,
varying in size, according to age, from
that of turnip, to one that will hardly
go into half bushel measure. 1t is a
very strong grower and an old vine
will cover a great space. 1t has been
called in at least one catalogue,
"Blushing Beauty Moon Flower" The
color is hard to describe, but is very
pretty. The botanies describe it as
white, tinged with purple, the catalogue
above mentioned, calls it "a most ex-
quisite shade of blue" This is a color
not described on color charts; as
near as we can make it out it is light
shade of lilac, but whatever it is called,
! it will be admired whenever seen. The
| flowers open about 3 or o clock ID
the afternoon, and close as soon as the
sun gets hot the next morning. The
root, as it grows, has a tendency to
grow out of the soil, and then becomes
liable to be killed by freezing, but this
can easily be prevented by a little
banking with earth.
|. Pes-Caprae does not climb. The
stems are thick and fieshy, but sprawl
over the ground instead of climbing.
The leaves are nearly round, usually
notched at the end. The flowers are
purple and quite snowy. AS it is
found wild on the sand hills along the
coast, it will probably grow in any
Florida soil that is not too wet.
There are several other native vare-
ties; some have very small flowers
only one half of one inch in length.
But there are at least two more deServ-
ing of a place in the list of cultivated
varieties
I. Sagittifoia is found in marshes
and ponds, not far from the coast. 1t
is often found in ponds that are full of
water, and yet seems to be as thrifty
as any other variety on drier land. The
leaves are arrow shaped, but. all the
1obes are very narrow. The vines are
slender, yet it is vigorous grower,
often wreathing a clump of bushes ten
or twelve feet high, with its slender
stems, curious leaves and clusters Of
bright purple flowers.
Ipomoea pandurata is offered by
northern florists as the "Hardy Moon
flower" It grows wild in the north
from New York to Illinois, and south
in Georgia and West Florida. The
root is large tuber similar to that of

Desirable Plants For Florida.
1ditOr Floral Department.

Cno ASflculCuT1SC, Ol OopIoLuUoI AOCu,
you say that, so far as you know, this
plant has no common name. Permit
me to say that two common names of
this plant are given in botanical works,
Adams Apple and East India Rose
Bay, though [ have never heard them
used in Florida. 1t is a beautiful and
highly desired shrub, either for the
open ground in Florida or for pot Gull
ture farther North, and well deserving
of all the praise you bestowed upon it.
In the same issue Mrs. G. w. Avery
recommends the Chinese Hibiscuses
for Florida gardens. She is quite right,
and some of these brilliant lowered
every Florida home. There are num-
Der of distinct sorts, some producing
single and some double flowers, the
flowers usually very large and OF eX-
ceedingly brilliant colors. While the
tops will stand light frosts they will
quickly succumb to heavy frosts or
freeze; but it is not at all necessary to
have them killed down to the roots, as
Mrs. Avery says hers were by las.
February's blizzard. Banking up with
sand over winter, the same as the or
ange sprouts are now protected, will
save a portion of the stems from which
strong Towering shoots will start out
in the spring.
1t is a matter of surprise that this
form of protection is not more gener,
ally practiced with tender ornamental
growths, though, perhaps it should not
be surprising when we see all over the
State so many instances of neglect to
bank promising orange sprouts and
buds. There is a long list of tropical
and semi-tropical shrubs and vines
which thrive luxuriantly in FlOrida's
soil and climate and which if banked
up in November with a few shOvelfuls
of sand will sprout as vigorously after
the severest kind Of a freeze, and in
many instances will actually be larger
and finer in a tWelve-mOnth than when
cut down by that merciless primer,
Jack Frost. While it is true that many
of these shrubs and vines if not bank
ed at all will sprout from the roots in
reality from dormant buds or eyes eX-
listing below ground-it will be found
that banking is much in their favor.
In this way from three inches to foot
or more of the stems above ground may
be saved, and the growth from these
will start much quicker and grow
stronger and faster than when it has
to come from the roots of unbanked
plants. Besides unbanked plants are
in some instances killed outright,
probably owing to the severe chilling
of the surface roots and dormant eyes,
especially in the case of too shallow
planting-a danger which banking
averts
A few of the shrubs and vines which
may be successfully grown in Florida
and preserved by banking from any
degree of cold that is likely to ever
visit the State, are as follows: Acha-
MIA malvaviscus, bishops Mitre),
TAchania Drummondi should be added.

Waddell Mine to Resume.

The Waddell mine at Winton which
was abandoned after the burning of
the Waddell breaker about eighteen
months ago, will resume operations
soon. The present owner, DR.. j. y.
Rice, is now preparing to open some
chambers there, and with that end in
view in a few days pumps will be
erected and the water will be remove
from the foot Of the slope.
When work is resumed the coal will
be taken to the suface by way Of the
slope and then conveyed to the River
side breaker on the narrow guage
track. which was built a few months
before the Waddell breaker was
burned. At present only one side Of
the Riverside breaker is being operat-
ed. When the Waddell coal is taken
there the other side will start, and en-
plOyment will be given to a number Of
men and boys.
The Riverside breaker. by the way,
is one of the best equipped breakers
in the coal fields. Nearly all the coal
is cleaned by machinery. This is not
working perfectly yet, but it is believed
that it soon will be.-ArChbald Citizaa.
