The cities of St Petersburg and Par
Is have an interesting device for en-
eouraging good architecture. Buildings
which are so artistlcally constructed
that they are regarded as ornaments
tf the city are exempt from taxation
for period of years. The profession
of architect has much higher stand
ing in Paris than in American cities
A. high standard of qualification 70
the profession is enforced by the vol
untary associations which control ad-
mission to its ranks The Paris archi-
tect signs his building in conspicuous
place on the front, as an artist does his
painting. Paris and other continental
cities could teach US much in regard to
the promotion Of artistic building

Sheboygan, Mich, grew from small
town to a hustling city by securing am
ple manufacturing industries. For
many years Sheboygan experienced but
little growth, but in 1870 manufactur-
ing industries were sought for and en-
couraged.- The few established brought
such good results that many others
were started, and today the town has
extensive tanneries and various 9TH
er industries and has made remarka-
Bile growth in population. Every town
that wishes to progress should be well
supplied with manufacturing indus
tries and lose no chance to secure an
increase of such Industries.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES.
How to Trim Them-Their Decorative
Use ON the Fashionable PergoIa.

How to Trim Them-Their Decorative
Use ON the Fashionable PergoIa.
In paper read before the American
Rose society at its last meeting In
Philadelphia L. A. Martin presented
the following interesting items about
the climbing varieties Of hardy roses,
Of which we have plenty of distinct
types to suit every one, which are
more and more used every year and
can be employed for ornamentations
on many parts of the garden where
other kinds Of plants would not be so
effective or conspicuous:
This class of rose must be trimmed
sparingly, cutting only the laterals
back to one bud and preserving only
the strong shoots to the height desired.
They are unsurpassed for covering old
buildings, unsightly walls, old trees,
some lonely rocks, trellises, arbors,
screens and the much talked about
pergolas. Think of the effect that
could be obtained with the well known
Crimson Rambler for covering the last
named If the branches or stems were
arranged and tied in festoons on the
sides. Many other purposes can be
found In using this favorite climber to
advantage. Other varieties Of this pop
ular rose and equally beautiful are:
Aglaia, pale yellow; Claire Jaquire,
nankeen; Electra, yellow; Euphrosyne,
pink with white center; Psyche, rosy
pink and crimson; Thalia, white, semi.
double, without forgetting Philadel-
phia Rambler, pegged down and grow
ing as a trailer. In standard or bush
form they are equally desirable and in
this way will add much diversity and
color to its environments.
A magnificent climbing rose not Of
ten seen as yet is Carmine Pillar, with
Its bright rosy carmine and large sin
gle flowers. 1t does not grow as tall as
other varieties, but will grow perfectly
well against the north side of build
ing or wall, very free grower and
bloomer.
Other varieties found perfectly hardy
and of different species are: Queen Of
the Prairies, deep rose and vigorous
grower; Cottage, dark crimson, very
rapid grower; Climbing Clotilde Sou
pert, pure ivory white.
Many others of either bushes OF
climbing varieties of hardy roses coult
be added to the foregoing and usefu
in some way or other for the embel
lishment of the hardy garden, as there
will always be found some part Of 4
where something is wanting and where
bush, trailing, pillar or climbing rost
would be just the thing.

tasted. The lichee is of the size and
form of a large plum, with rough,
thin, scale-like rind, which while the
fruit is hanging ripe upon the tree Is
of a beautiful red tinge, but gradually
becomes of a dull brown color a short
time after being gathered. The pulp
resembles the white of plover's egg
and contains in its center stone. In
the best varieties the stone Is very
small comparatively, and In this re-
spect the fruit produced on different
trees varies much. The Chinese suffer
the fruit to dry till it becomes black
and shriveled, in which condition 1t ap-
pears to be very palatable to the entire
population.

The common dandelion is weed
which gives much trouble in lawns,
since it spreads rapidly, is not injur-
ed to any extent by moving and un-
less carefully dug out is very apt to
ruin the turf. 1t is common prac-
tice to give perfect freedom to the
women and children who every spring
invade the roadsides and parks or pri-
yate grounds in search of dandelion
greens" Tests carried on by w. Nj.
Munson at the Maine experiment sta
ton showed that, contrary to the usu-
al belief however this is very bad
for the lawns, for in addition to the
injury caused by the knives and trow-
els used in digging the roots 1t is very
probable that every top or crown cut
off will in short time send up In its
place from one to six new crowns.
Professor Munson advises as pre-
ventive measure thick seeding when
the lawn is made, for If the young
grass plants do not cover all the space
weeds will be sure to grow. Renewal
of a badly infested lawn by sodding
or seedingSis advised If only few
dandelions are present they may be
removed by careful and deep digging,
little grass seed being sprinlzled over
the space left by the removal of the
weed.

SECTION or A LIMB THICKLY COVERED
WITH SAN JOSE SCALE ENLARGED
the scale enlarged two dlameters and
thickly covering an apple limb. On
apples and pears the presence of the
scale is indicated by bright red ring
like spot which surrounds the place
where the scales are attached to the
fruit. The scales measure commonly
about one-sixteenth Of an inch in
diameter. In badly infested orchard
they completely cover the trunk and
branches, giving them grayish, meAly
appearance

the place for about $4,000, but because
II will cost that sum the taxpayers
kick about 1t. When last there T! was
doing bit Of figuring with a local
physician, and we discovered that the
want of sewers obliged the people to

THE GLADIOLUS.
A Fine Plant Fer Cut Flowers Dur
ing the summer and Fall.

tnG summer ana
The gladiolus is by all odds the best
plant we have for furnishing cut flow
ers from the open ground during the
summer and fall months. 1t com
mences to bloom about the LIST of July
and continues until November. II is
Just beginRing to be grown extensively
for cut flowers for market, and 1t has
undoubtedly great future. The
spikes are cut when the first flower
opens, packed in light boxes without
punching, as one would pack rhubarb,
and expressed to all points. We have
sent them to Montana in good condi-
ton. No flower blooms in water better
than the gladiolus. Indeed it does bet
ter In water than on the plant In the
south it is apt to wilt in the hottest
part of the day If left on the plant, but
If put in water it reaches great perfec-
ton, says Mr. Crawford in American
Gardening.
A thousand first size bulbs will pro-
duce over 1000 spikes; of second size,
say 1900; of third size, 1000, 4,50O in
all, and as many bulbs which should
under first class conditions be Of first
size. BY planting the three sizes at
the same time one gets succession Of
bloom, the large bulbs blooming first
and the small ones last.
No particular skill is required. The
land Is prepared as for potatoes and
furrowed out, and the bulbs can be
put into the ground as soon as 1t can
be worked or later for late Towering.
We plant In rows three feet apart and
twice the diameter of the bulbs apart
in the row, covering from four to six
inches in depth. We never take pains
to place right side up any sizes be
low No. 2. Cutting the spikes as soon
as the first flower opens prevents the
bulb from being exhausted by produc-
ing seed 1t also prevents damage
from blowing over and does away
with the necessity Of support.
During the summer months, espe-
cially in dry time, there is usually
q scarcity of flowers for decorative
purposes. People want them for
churches, for Sunday schools and for
special occasions, and nothing can
equal the gladiolus for such purposes.

County Fruit Inspector Beck has con-
demned 10000 fruit trees shipped INTO
Yacinla county from an Oregon nursery
man because they were affected with
crown and root gall and were the worst
lot OF trees brought into that county
for years. Nurserymen should be more
careful if they do not wish to get into
trouble.
If the reports are correct regarding
the damage done by cold on the peach
trees OF New York, Michigan, Missouri
Illinois and Indiana, there should be 9

on the Pacific Coast, Notwithstanding
the fact that Georgia will have the larg
est cron produced in years.
