the bride and groom and the minister
started to lola in one horse buggy.
They hadn't gone far till the buggy
sank in q mud hole an eighth OF Ii
mile long, and the horse being too
stout for the harness went on and
left them sitting in the buggy. Pearl
waded out and hunted up your cor
respondent to tell him the news and
to get little assistance with his
team aud wagon. They reloaded
and the buggy attached to the wagon
were safely landed on high ground
half mile farther. They were there
transferred to the buggy and repairs
made and they Proceeded fairly well
till they struck another mud hole,
aud by that time the minister and the
groom were getting pretty determin-
ed and used to the mud and were
tired of riding anyway, so they got
out and Wadded through leaving the
bride to manage the horse and buggy
the best she could. The last report
we had they were within four and q
half miles of lola. With host OF
other friends we wish them long
happy and prosperous journey to-
gether through life.

contracts for the flowers. And now
secret success in potting lilies.
Said one of the best growers to me |
yesterday: ''The trouble with many
amateurs, and even florists, is that
they plant the bulb too high up in
the pot. The roots that grow down
in the pot nourish the bulb, but the
roots that grow up nourish the lilies.
Good, careful roofing is the first es-
sential Of success, and if q bulbs top
roots have to grow in the air they will
rot and the lily be failure. The
bulb should be planted in deep pot,
about middle way 1t takes two
months for plant TO get we'll rooted"
These pots are taken out in patches
about November to get ready for the
Easter trade.
The genuine Bermuda Easter lily,
which is geographical variety of the
longi.horum, can be forced into pro-
life bloom in q marvelously short
period of time. While florists con-
tend that the lily grown in even tenn
perature lasts better, it is equally true
that the majority of growers make an
annual feat of forcing under high tenn
perature the quick blooming of their
lilies, and they say there is no lily
that stands this strain so we'll as the
Annunciation.
The average yield of a bulb depends
on its size. The five inch bulb is the
best size to force when the stems are
to be cut long; such bulb only pro-
duces from one to three flowers. The
seven inch is the most popular size.
1t bears from five to eight flowers.
| The nine inch bulb is the best size to
use as pot plant in decoration. 1t
frequently bears fifteen flowers.
The monstrous bulb of twelve inches
bears twenty-five flowers, and in
it's native habitat is nothing unusual
for it to have fifty flowers at time.
If desired, second crop of flowers,
frequently equal to the first, can be Sc
cured the same season by drying the
plants off after blooming, giving them
O short rest, and then starting them
again.
The lilies are delivered to the for
lists in pots so they may be cut at
will.
The California Gala and the Japan
ese lily are also grown here for Eas-
ter. This California Gala is the same
lily that grows in profusion along the
Nile. As these bulbs rot very easily,
they are packed for shipment in ex-
celsior, as the sawdust does not allow
enough air to go through. They
have not proved nearly the success,
though, that the Bermuda has. They
can't stand much forcing.
Customers order their Easter Lille:
months ahead; the florists order then
from the growers year ahead; thu
seedsmen contract in Bermuda yea
in advance; so the whole business il
, transacted in futures.
A flower stays in bloom for ten
| days to two weeks. When the orde
is to the florist for cut flowers he cut
? and delivers them in the bud.

heath of Major chas. Pickett

After short illness Major Charles
Pickett died in Norfolk. Va, Saturday
night. Major Pickett was one of the
best known residents of Norfolk. He
was born in Richmond 50 years ago, of
a distinguished family, long aud hon
orably prominent in the great achieve.
ments of the Commonwealth. He was
a brother of the famous Gen. Pickett,
of the Confederate army, who led the
most famous charge of modern times at
Gettysburg. On his brothers staff he
served as major, and for a time he
was adjutant general of Pickett's di.

gallantly throughout the war, being

and popular rival. The main busi-
ness is the cultivation of the lily
bulbs.
The growing and shipping of the
flowers has gradually passed into the
hands Of the wives and daughters OF
the farmers, it is said, and the pro-
ceeds so for pin money.
One of the largest importers OF New
York City receives four or five thou
sand boxes yearly, the boxes contain
ing half hundred flowers. Altogether
fifteen or twenty thousand boxes are
brought here.
Bermuda tourists say the fragrance
of the lily fields is noticeable at a great
distance. They always know when
they are approaching one of these seas
OF white flowers long before it bursts
into view.
The lilies shipped from Bermuda
are not allowed to mature.
The buds are picked with stems
about foot long and packed in boxes.
On their arrival here they are placed
inw warm water, opening within twenty
foar hours, and preserve their bsauty
and fragrance for week or ten days
If it were not for the fact that they are
short stemmed, making them in many
cases unsuitable for decoration, they
would be d more formidable rival o
the lilies grown here. They arr
cheaper and hence are in reach o
many who would otherwise be unabl
to indulge in flowers at Easter time.
The supply OF the Annunciation ,
the true Easter flower, came original
from Bermuda, but the industry o
importing and growing the bulbs them
selves is now large and profitabl
business around New York. Tb
