powder and that are hallowed by every
sweet memory; but if one wants to buy
them he must search patiently through
the fine print in the catalogues. Now,
believe that every good novelty should
be advertised for "al there is in it,; but
the difficulty is that there are So many
novelties with such superb par. eXcellen-
cies that no one knows how or when TO
discriminate. This playful skit / make
with no feeling of criticism and with no
thought of laying any blame on the cat
alogue man, but only to call your atten-
ton to a tendency of the times that |
believe is overworked May not an over
exploiting of novelties stand in the way
of really introducing and establishing
new varieties!
MANY GOOD OLD VARIETIES.
/ believe that there are more good
varieties In existence at this moment
than any one is aware Of 1t might be
as great service to disseminate and
test these as to produce more new varie-
ties. Many of these are 60 doubt old
varieties, but which, for one reason or
another, have not become known as
their merits deserve. How to bring the
existing varieties, whether new or old,
into the full recognition of their merits
is one of the most perpleXing questions
with which the plantsman has to deal
Experience has proved that more adver-
Using will not accomplish it. There
must be some large means Of co-opera
tive Investigation.
As one suggestion looking toward the
solution of this difficulty, Professor
Bailey gave an account of the volunteer
Orchard" movement that was started in
New York this last spring. To the re-
quest foI trees, the nursery men re-
sponded with good liberality and good
will, as, indeed, he expected they would.
Only few plantations were actually
made, however, as it was desired to be
gin the work on a very small base and
let it grow naturally, if there is any
growth in it.

Mr.. w. H. Leahy, district passenger
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, re-
turned yesterday from his trip to Flor
ida. He says that the reports of dam
age by the storm have been greatly
exaggerated and that in reality the
loss in Florida will be comparatively
small
THE first reports of the damage done
by a storm of the character of the re-
cent hurricane are always very much
exaggerated" said Mr.. Leahy, "and
the ones which were sent out concern
ing the last one were no exception to
the rule. The reports indicated that
the most serious damage had been done
to the orange crop, but even here there
is comparatively little loss. The total
damage will not exceed per cent. of
the yield calculated upon, and the or
ange growers are cengratuiating them
selves upon escaping so lightly.
1.-The outlook for a large yield this
year is very bright, and every one en-
gagged in raising the fruit is very much
pleased with the results promised. The
yield, in spite of the slight loss from
the storm, will be very large, probably

terday, land we will have to get Il
regular secretary. There will be many
letters to write and it is going to re-
quire a great deal of work before we
will be able to accomplish our object.
1t is my idea to have citizens, both
men and women. who are acquainted
with congressman or senators to adj
dress letters to them and urge them
to support such a measure as we may
decide must be introduced in Con-
gress.
I'm this way a large number of
congressman and senators will be
reached and win have their attention
directed to the bill, the passage of
which will mean so much to Savannah.
OF course we will not be able to get
every person in Savannah who knows
some member of Congress to write, but
they would certainly furnish their
flames along with those congressman
or senators with whom they are ac-
quainted, and the regular secretary
would write the letters, only calling
