Chinese origin, 1t was tested at the
Kew Gardens, England, before being
introduced into this country. 1t was
in England that it was given its high
sounding name - CaryOpteris Masta-
canthus. But it has been rechristened
here under the appropriate title Of
Blue Spirea, by the amateur growers
who do not always consider the long
botanical names necessary to describe
their home favorites AS the fluffy
bloom clusters are formed like the
other perennial spireas, and are OF a
rich lavender blue "a color rare among
tiowcrs) its rare beauty counteracts
its unpopular origin. even during this
ti0od-tide of indignation against all
things Chinese.

Frost-Proof Strawberries.

The news isn't quite so good as 10
warrant the anticipation Of Christmas
Strawberries, yet, nevertheless, 1t is
sufficiently encouraging TO warrant
looking forward 10 large crops of
Strawberries in the early spring dur
ing the next few years. Throughout
a large proportion OF the strawberry
growing localities light frosts often oc.
cur in late spring, killing a large per-
centage Of the flowers and the recently
formed fruit. Experiments at the sew
eral Government experiment stations
have been conducted with the view Of
learning which varieties are most re-
sistant 10 frost, and why they are i'm
mune. The conclusions reached as a
result Of these experiments are that
certain varieties are much more resist
ant than others, and that these are
those in which the seeds are we'll EN-.
bedded in the pulpy mass of the berry
or fruit. Localities in which late frosts
occur are now selecting these varie-
ties in preference TO all others.

ger. about six inches apart, across the
bed. sowed my seed and covered them
lightly; then with the edge of my hand
| patted them down leaving them in a
little trench so that | could work the
dirt to them after they had come up.
As the weather was getting hot l
feared they would get dry after they
had sprouted and be ruined, SO l took
some old tow sacks and spread all over
the bed and weighted them down, then
gave the bed n thorough watering

Propagafing Ensea.

Roses may DE propagated in several
ways, but some experience Is required
An excellent method, which has been
tested and found satisfactory, is 10
place a cutting in a bottle Of water
and suspend the bottle where II can
be warmed by the sun, keeping water
supplied as fast as It evaporates
When roots appear the cutting may
be transferred 10 a small flower pot.
Some good hybrid perpetuals have
been raised on their own roots in that
manner. Although the plan is not al.
ways successful, yet it IS easily tried
and costs nothing.

Marching without Food.

When Hilario and SegOvia began 10
deal with the question Of food for the
seven-days' march to Palanan, an un.
expected difficulty was encountered.
| writes General Funston. In Every
body's Magazine. The staple articles
OF food at Palanan are fresh fish and
fresh vegetables, principally sweet po-
tatoes. Neither would serve for long
journey, as they would not only spoil.
but were too heavy ald bulky. a
small quantity of Indian corn is raised
at Palanan, and was the only article
of food to be had which was portable
and would not deteriorate, but the
amount on hand was quite limited
The vicealcaldc state that If we would
remain week he could in that time
obtain sufficient quantity of cracked
corn TO serve for all during the march
But such delay was out Of the qucs-
ton, as I had arranged with Com
mander Barry that the Nickshurg meet
us at Palanan Bay on the 25th If we
had not arrived by the 27th n force
was To be landed 10 investigate. .
Despite all his efforts the vlce-al-
calde had not been able in two days TO
collect more than three days ration
of cracked corn and n small quantity
of dried buffalo meat. We must start
with that and take chances, or aban-
don the expedition. by unanimous
vote among the five Americans we
chose the former alternative, though
| must confess 1t was with consider
able mlsgivinCs 50 far as | was con
cerned. As viii be seen, the result
came near being disaster.
