ARISTOcRATS OF THE FIELD.
Vegetables and Flowers Which Look
Down Upon Old-time Varieties.

Vegetables and Flowers Which Look
Down Upon Old time Varieties.
1t has come to be we'll understood
generally that farther North either
animal or vegetable life is developed
the better that development is, sc
that the South and Southern planters
are just as anxious to obtain North
ern-grown seed as are their brethren
of the North.
The improvements that have been
made in both vegetables and flowers
during recent years seem scarcely
less than marvellous to one whose at
tention is for the first time directed
thereto. There is scarcely vegetable
seed on the list. from artichokes tt
turnips; scarcely flower seed. from
abutilon to zinnia. that does not pre-
sent today great advance over those
varieties as known 20 years ago
Notably is the evolution of the great
glowing, velvety pansy of today from
the little Johnnie-Jump-Up' of &
quarter of century back. And equally
striking has been the betterment O.
curious instance is recorded of acci
dental hybridization in the discovery
of a wrinkled pea in a pod of the
common white Marrowfats, some Al
or so years ago, by Dr. Charles Fair
beard, Of England. Struck by the ap
pearance of the pea, so entirely un
like anything he had ever seen be
fore, the doctor saved and planted
it; and this single pea, thus pre-
served, was the projenitor of tn,
magnificent race of sweet. green
wrinkled varieties. which are fit 70!
table use. 1t is to this quality of clost
and patient observation on the par
of specialists that we are indebted
for the great improvements referred
to.
BY means of this cultivation the
Dakotas have d!splaced the dwarfet
"squaw corn" that scarcely lifted its
tasseled head higher than the prairie
grass by some of the finest varieties
of corn that can be produced. ears q
foot long. and stalks six feet high
being the rule and not the exception
and in some instances worth SO 6
bushel for planting Nor is it in corr
alone that this section of our great
country excels. for Minnesota is today
one of the greatest clover producing
states of the Union, the seed grown
there commanding the highest prices
in the markets of the world.-Phila

The board seems a little dissatisfied with the decrease in the discriminating butcher inspection fee and is complaining that the inspection fund will be inad- equate. It also fixed the date for but chers to secure license from the sani- tary board, and file their bonds at not later than April 10th. Butchers who intend to continue in business should remember this and act at once. As soon as the new member, NIT.
