STEEL RAILS FROM ABROAD.
Supply Inadequate to Meet Demand
 All Mills are Booked for Year.

New York. April 19.-Structural manu- lecturers have advanced prices for inn mediate delivery 8 to- s5 a ton over quo tations recently current, says The Jour nal of Commerce, and the supply or steel billets throughout the country IS so small that manufacturers are suli compelled to go abroad to purchase sup plies for their mills. There is no famine as yet. although prevailing conditions, it is reported, make an approximation to the same.
 The scarcity of material is particularly felt by small manufacturers, although the United States Steel Corporation also feels the lack of a necessary supply of bilets.
 The situation has a particular bearing on the question of steel rails supply It is stated that the wants of the railroads will necessitate a much larger importa- tion of rails this year than for some years past.
 All the mills are practically booked for the entire year, and 1t will he found that more business will be carried from this years books into 1905 than was carried from last year into 1902. The rail pool shows no intention at present of ad- Vancing prices.

LILIES OF THE VALLEY.

Garden Editor:
 Please tell your readers who are inter- ested in flowers that with proper care, many of those plants which ordinarily do not thrive in the South can be grown here with advantage. There is the lily of the valley. Is there any flower so much admired as this dainty, pure little blos- som Yet we in the South are deprived of the pleasure it affords by thinking It's culture an impossibility. What is need ed is a shaded spot guarded from the southern and western sun. The earth can be kept damp.
 I hope Montgomery will keep up the in- terest The Advertiser has promoted in flower culture. Yours truly

THANKS THE ADVERTISER.

4HUTTIb'III0Iy y 1fPIII IV, Iv''-' The Garden Editor:
 I want to thank The Advertiser for in- augurating such glorious improvement to the beauty of Montgomery by the Am ateur Gardners' Contest. Montgomery has been noticeably lacking in the gen eraI cultivation of front and back yards. True. we have elegant homes with grassy lawns and lovely cottages with pretty garden plots, but strangers are not im- pressed with that universal air of out door prosperity which attracts them in many of our Southern cities.
 Now the back yards are tho greatest evils of the South. Instead of attractive gardens with flower beds of brilliant color of which passer-by catches a glimpse (and wishes for more) it is the rule in the South to dump all tho trash

Did Chamberlain Swear offp

London Cable Dispatch to New York
 World. ~
 The noticeable absence Tor two months of inc orchid which Colonial Secretary Chamberlain had been accustomer to dec crate himself with on all occasions is att tributed to the Boer war. It Is asserted that he registered VOW to discard his favorite flower until the war ended just as Queen Isabella of Spain once vowed never to change a garment until Grenada was taken.
 Still. a general slackness in the hereto fore "spruce" Mir. Chamberlain has been noticed. the only characteristic bit of style he cllngs to being his monocle. A tailors' periodical lately ridfculed in a mild way the present cut of his clothes and his general shabbiness in appear ance, one offense against "smartness being the wearing of side-spring boots or as they are irreyerently nicknamed, ''jemlmas The side-spring boots are supposed to indicate that the Colonial Secretary is becoming a ''tenderfoot."

OF VINES AND WHITE VIoLETS

Garden Editor:
 It seems to me that more discretion should be used in the selection of the plan of gardening with regard to the size of the yards, and with regard to the climate. There are so many beautiful plants that belong to us; and can be cultivated nowhere else, that are set aside for others that perhaps must be coaxed to live. There are, too. so many fine delicate vines like the jessamine and clematis that grow so beautifully here, that it seems bad idea to cultivate the coarser vines, such as the velvet bean and the madeira. The homes in New York are being transformed by the cul- tivation of the ampelopsis vechii and it grows so beautifully in this climate. It Is a most effective adornment with It's slender stems. which when the vine has ro ached a growth of seventy feet will still be at the root not larger than ones little finger. It is a semi-tropical plant and its delicate green foliage is even more beautiful ,when in the fall it takes on a brilliant red hue.
 The white clematis with it's dainty green in the spring its mass of snow white blossoms in the summer, and its soft feathery gray appearance in the fall gives a wealth of beauty in return for very little care.
 A whole lot could be said of the white violet, after visiting Mrs. Chappell Cory s home on Finley Avenue.
 In reply to various questions about this favorite plant of hers Mrs. Cory said:
 This solid circle bed you see. is filled with the white violets and all my walks and rose beds, are bordered with them There is an erroneous opinion that these delicate white violets can not be grown side by side with the blue ones. This is not my experience. For many years
 have grown them together and each has
 retained its individual complexion, unin. | fuenced by. the presence of the other Damp loamy soil is best suited to tn, propagation of the white violet. Tn,
 stems being very long and coming wei
 up above the dark green, glossy. pointed
 foliage which differs from that of tn, | blue violet. The result as you see, il | as of a snow sprinkled border and bed | and is beautifully effective. The whit violet begins to blossom just as the blu ones are gone, and blooms constant! | and profusely until the last of April The seeds scatter every where and evei | the bermuda grass does not interfere witt the growth of this beautiful plant" Did you know" continued Mrs. Cory l that we call this the White House | violet and that it has been adopted h.
 the White House Association as it special flower?' X. Y. Z
