SUMMER SPlREAS.
Spireas Bloom From June to Sep
tember-Varieties New and Old.

SpirRas Bloom From June to Sep
tember-VarietiesN New and old.
It would be very hard to get along
without spiraas. One of the very first
flowers of spring in the shrubbery is
SpirRa thunbergil, the one with will
lowlike leaves and small white flowers.
Following this is the famous old bridal
wreath (Spiraa reevesiD, and after this,
If one has collection of dozen vari-
cites, he need not be without spirRa
flowers from early spring till October.
A lovely one for summer Towering
(SpirRa bumalda) is japanese spe-
cies and much to be recommended. Its
first crop of flowers is produced in late
June. They are in almost fiat heads,
rose or deep pink in color and usually
are in such profusion as almost to hide
the foliage. 1t is more than usually
valuable because there is no other spe-
cies of the same habit and color, and
for the additional reason that if the
flowers are cut off as they fade a new
sop will come. In fact, with care to
cat off dead blooms, there need be not
a day from the advent of the first bios
som to October without a flower.
Anthony Waterer, bearing almost
crimson flowers, is distinct and beau
tiful kind.
Mentioning the cutting away of the
dead flowers of these spir@as reminds
me to say that there are two or three
sorts of this genus with handsome up
right, fingerlike spikes of pink flowers,
and these are mainly summer boomers.
Paniculata, nobleana, douglassi and
lindleyana are some of them. These
flower from July till September, and
when properly understood blooming
may be prolonged by little pruning,
performed as soon as the first flowers
fade. The cutting back of about half
of the shoot will cause strong ones to
break from near the base, and from
these good flowers come late in the sea,
son.
While mentioning kinds | would say
that the old sort (reevesii, especially in
its double form is still indispensable.
The double flowers are much more last
ing than the single ones and are more
called for for decorating purposes. But
for gracefulness of habit there is one
(Van HoutteD very much superior to
it. The branches droop gracefully,
which when loaded with their white
flowers make the bush that bears
them one of the very prettiest of the
season. - Joseph Meehan in Country

Pruning the Rose.

Pruning is an important matter in
rose growing. Climbing and pillar
roses need only the weak branches and
the tips shortened in. Other hardy
kinds will usually need cutting back
about one-fourth or one-third, accord
ing to the vigor of the branches, either
in the spring or fall. A slight cutting
back also after their June towering in
the case of the remontants will en-
courage more flowers. Severe pruning,
however, will only induce the growth
of vigorous leafy shoots without flow
ers. The ever blooming roses will need
to have all dead wood removed at the
time Of uncovering them in spring..
Some pruning during the summer is
also useful in encouraging growth and
flowers. The stronger branches which
have Powered may be cut back one-half
or more The rule in trimming roses is
cut back weak growing kinds severely,
strong growers moderately

twenty states have declared
through their legislatures for this re-
form. Even it's opponents in the SEN
ate do not deny its great, it's over,
whelming popularity. Nevertheless,
these opponents-trust attorneys for
the most part reinforced by a few
worthy old gentlemen devoted to the
ancient landmarks, whether good or
bad-assume the responsibility of re-
fusing the citizens of the republic the
privilege of saying at the polls
whether they do or do not wish to
amend the constitution.
These logged conservatives-ho
est and dishonest-are doing work
for the radicals who think that the
country would be advantaged by a
good many changes in the constitu-
ton.
You might as well try to dam Nj
agara with load of baled hay as to
prevent the American people from ac-
comprising their purpose once they
have undertaken it in earnest" SEN
ator Clapp warned the obstruction
ist on Wednesday.
There are two ways in which the
constitution can be amended. One
is by having the amendment pro-
posed to the states by a two-thirds
vote of each house of congress. The
other is by having two-thirds of the
state legislatures call upon congress
to summon a constitutional conven-
ton. In the latter case the senate
has no option. 1t must obey the or
der of the states.
The people will have their way.
They know that the present sys-
tenn of election turns the senate into
house of lords for the trusts.
If, in order to have their way, the
people shall be forced to call a consti-
tutional convention-forced by the re-
fusal of the senate to yield otherwise
to the popular willis it at all un-
likely that among the amendments
proposed to the convention may be
one abolishing the senate?
That is consideration we'll worth
the thought of the moneybags and
mossbacks who decline to regard the
senate as a representative body, re-
sponsible to the people, and in duty
bound to comply with the peoples
will, not to thwart it in the interest
of the trusts.
The trusts are Hamiltonian to the
backbone. They fear the people and
want them to have as little to do
with the government as possible.
The senate is deliberately inviting

Thinning Fruit.

Next to the proper fertilization and
cultivation in orchard work thinning of
the fruit is of the most Importance. 1t
matters little how much we may en-
rich the ground or prune our trees,
there will be some seasons when well
formed trees will set more fruit than
they can properly mature to large size,
good color and fine quality, and if we
wish to produce the finest fruit all of
the imperfect specimens, all of the
wormy, gnarly, distorted surplus and
very small fruit must be removed as
soon as its character can be deter
mined. This time for different varieties
and seasons will be about the LIST of
July. The cost of this work on trees
with very high branches will be so
great as to consume all profits from the
crop, but on properly formed, low head
ed trees the work can be done at COM
paratively little expense and results in
much profit to the grower and salts
faction to both the grower and con-
sumner. For the most rapid work step
ladders and common ladders of several
lengths should be on hand ready for
use, and only active, quick sighted help
should be employed. The cost of thin
ming the fruit on large trees where a
considerable number have been done
has been from 25 to 30 cents each, and
the profit has in many cases been more
than doubled.

GOOD GARDEN GERANlUMs,

"A Fine Scarlet and Pleasing Pink.
Both Lusty Growers and Boomers.
The evolution of the Zonale pelargo.
MUM, or garden geranium, still contin-
ues, though the present pitch of horti-
cultural perfection makes further i'm.
provement slow and progressively more
difficult. Beauty and profusion Of
bloom, delicacy or dazzling brilliancy
of coloring and elegance of habit are
sufficiently common in the new intro
auctions, but for outdoor use these
qualities must be accompanied by Wig
orous growth and easy propagation.
Rural New Yorker, which tests the
most promising new bedding varieties
among the annual flood of novelties,
says that probably the most valuable
of the newer sorts is the double scarlet
Alphonse Riccard.
1t is an extremely robust grower and
bids fair to replace the well known

Double General Grant, which has held
popular favor for many years. The
color is BRILLIANT vermilion scarlet,
without the bricklike tint common in
the older varieties. When we'll grown,
the bloom trusses are immense, often
reaching six inches across, and are car
ried on long and very stout stems. The
flower head shown in the figure was
purposely selected for it's moderate
size, SO that the individual f1orets
would not appear too crowded. AL
phonse Riccard makes good pot plant
as well as bedder and if given a
chance will grow very large.
A companion sort of real and tested
excellence is Jean Viaud, which may
be termed pink Riccard, having the
same lusty growth and excessively
large blooms. The particularly pleas
ing shade Of pink is not common in 70
male pelargoniums.

The moneybags and the mossbacks
OF the senate have succeeded once
more in staving off vote upon the
Corliss amendment to the constitu-
ton, providing for the election of
senators by the people.
The resolution has been recommit-
ted to the committee on privileges
and elections, where it will continue
to sleep unless its friends can force
report upon it.
The moneybags and mossbacks are
placing the senate in a dangerous po-
sition-that of defying the plainly
expressed will of the people.

MORE FOREST RESERVES.
Bureau of Forestry Recommends an
Additional 5000 Square Miles.

iCaN VI TOTCSCTy recommends an
Additional 5000 Square Miles.
The bureau of forestry of the geo.
logical survey has recommended to
the secretary of the interior the crea-
ton in Montana of additional forest
reserves, aggregating three and a
quarter of millions of acres. The mat
ter has been under consideration for
some time by the bureau, to which
had been referred number of petit
lions from residents of Montana, re-
port of forestry agents and inspec-
tors. Out of this mass of material,
Prof. Gannett has selected in vari-
GUS parts of the state areas aggre-
eating about 5000 square miles.
The largest reserve recommended
includes about go townships while
some others are only a township in
size. The preservation of the states
timber supply, and the conservation
of water courses are the reasons Civ
en- for the additional reservations.
The land Office officials decline to
give any information relative to the
location of the proposed reserves I'M
til the recommendations are passed
upon by the secretary of the inter
ior and land commissioner after in
vestigation of titles, and it is likely
to be a month or so before action is
taken.
1t is the impression that most of
the recommendations if not all, will
be approved.

Mildew of Muskme1on Vines.

Mildew, commonly called cucumber
blight, or downy mildew, so destructive
to cucumbers, attacks melons Also At
fected plants may be stimulated with
light dressings of nitrate of soda. The
diseased leaves should be removed and
the plants sprayed with bordeaux mix
ture. The vines should be carefully ex-
amined from time to time in the fore
part of the~season, so that in case the
disease appears preventive steps may
be promptly instituted. Bordeaux mix
ture is a tried and proved remedy.
Spraying should begin about the mid
die Of July and be continued at inter
walls of ten days as long as necessary.
