Flowers from the Holy Land
will be one of tho interesting feat
ures that may be seen in the bibli-
cal botanical department at the
Worlds Fair. The display will be
novel, differing from the American
florists exhibits, in that all speci-
mems are pressed and dried. A
courteous thing about the fora Of
Palestine, says s. P. Forst, who will
have charge Of the display, is that
while the wild flowers grow in the
greatest profusion, domestic flowers
can not be cultivated there. The
flowers now are therefore just the
same as they were 1900 years ago
and are the same as those which
our Savior saw. The blooming
season in Palestine lasts only from
January to May, and in that try
ing climate the delicate blossoms
wither and shrivel SD quickly that
the greatest expedition is necessary
to press and dry them.
The old practice Of whitewashine
fruit trees Is coming into more gen
eral use again. As the whitewash
can now be applied with a spray
pump it is possible to give the
limbs and twigs as well as the
trunks of the trees covering
One Of the useful effects CT the
whitewashing is to prevent injury
to the trees from sudden changes Of
temperature. The injury to trees
from freezing results in reality. in
most cases at least, from the thaw
ing, and the more sudden the thaw,
ing the greater the Likelihood o
damage. The coating Of whitewast
wards off the warm rays Of the sur

ing up Of the wood after freeze
