A SUCCESSFUL FIRM.
Widely known Seed Growers Celebrating
Their Fiftieth Anniversary.

The well known seedmen, ]. ]. H. Gregory
&c Son, of Marblehead, Mass, are celebrat-
ing their fiftieth anniversary successful
seed growers. For half century they have
been introducing seeds of improved vegeta-
bles to planters farmers and gardeners
throughout the country. During this time
they have built up great business and a
still greater reputation for reliability. Their
seeds relied upon to be fresh, pure and
sure: and that this is true is proven by
the fact that they used universally by
florists and gardeners.
In addition to raising the standard of ordi-
nary varieties, many vegetables, prominent
in the agricultural field today were orig
mated by this old seed firm. They are
past masters in the art of introducing new
and desirable varieties
Any intending to plant seeds of any
ind should send to Messrs. J. ]. H Greg
ory & Son, Marblehead, Mass, for their new
catalogue. 1t is a handsomely illustrated
booklet, in which are Photographic repro
ductions of many new varieties of interest
to all. Sent free to those who write for it.

Recent Valuable Experiments.

1t must have been taken from a bulle-

thing for those who grow caulifiower
in this state to test this method. 1t

which it seemed in any way possible
from previous years. experiences, to
get practical results
AS in previous years, plants made
a much better start inside than OUT
side. The leaf growth inside was
also superior throughout the summer
This was due to the fact that the
ground inside retained it's moisture
much better than outside
The yield inside for the last sea-
son was 654 lbs. 13 ozs. of untrimmed
and 416 lbs. ozs. of trimmed cauli-
flower. From the same amount of
ground outside were obtained 469 lbs
10 ozs. of untrimmed and 261 lbs. Z

Sea Island Cotton.

The editor of the Farmer and Fruit
Grower believes that Florida farmers
might proftably go into Sea Island
cotton.
We are not prepared to endorse or
recommend such an extreme change
cases, yet we give it in full, believing
that it is worthy of serious consider
alton. The most serious objection,
that we see is the fact in many places
there is no cotton-gin within reach of
the farmer
The editors note is as follows:
AS we have often taken occasion to
point out, no crop is more fully adapt
ed to the conditions prevailing in this
state than Sea Island cotton, and more
than one new settler who has essayed
truck farming under unfavOrable con-
ditiOnS would have found himself
much better off in the long run had
he devoted his attention to a crop so
admirably adapted to our soil and eli
mate.
The annual Sea Island crop of
Georgia and Florida is said to amount
to about $4,000 bales, and this under
favorable conditions might, no doubt,
be considerably increased.
For this reason the announcement
that the cotton planters of the two
states in question have decided to
organize for mutual protection and
benefit is of peculiar interest just now,

ROOSEVELT TEMPLE.
O6reat National Hall Suggested for
Washington.

Washington.-The tribute paid to
President Roosevelt in Londan in con-
nection with the lord mayors parade.
has directed attention here to a sug-
gestion emanating from J. Selwin TAFT,
representative of the international
Banking Corporation. that the triumph
of the President as a peacemaker be
perpetuated by the erection in the
capital city of magnificent -Roose-
welt temple of peace
The author of this project feels
that there will be no difficulty in
raising by public subscription a fund
sufficient to erect a structure in every
respect worthy of the triumph at
Portsmouth. The suggestion is that
there be erected building of heroic
proportions, to be used for conventions
and meetings of national character. to
be of rich design, with ornamentation
emblematic of peace and perhaps
symbolic of the success of President
Roosevelt in tightening the bonds of
brotherhood between the North and
South.

General Booth Honored.

The freedom of the city of London,
a distinction on which many states
men and warriors have set great store,
was recently bestowed on General
Booth of the Salvation Army, who ac-
cepted 1t as the recognition of the
worldwide work of the army. The pre-
sentation was made in the presence Of
a distinguished company. including
civic officials. several thousand citi-
zens and many officers of the Salvation
Army The address referred in glow
ing terms to- the work of General
Booth and his organization, not only
in London, but throughout the world.
The general in reply referred to the
difficulties which beset him in his
early days and which are only now be
coming officially recognized.
Instead of the usual gold casket the
address was inclosed in an oaken cas-
ket, the balance of the money voted by
the municipal council being, at the re-
quest of General Booth, given in the
shape of check toward the funds of
the organization.
