A New Scarlet Balsam.

Most of our readers, who cultivate
house plants, are familiar with Impa-
items sultani. Probably not many are
aware that there are several new
varieties, or rather varieties with
new colOrs.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker describes one of them as fol-
lows:
When the red-fiOwered Sultan bal
sam, Impatiens Sultani, was intro
duced from Zanzibar, a very useful
window and conservatory plant was
given to cultivation. All are now IA
mIliei with its free growth, translu-
cent stems, glossy foliage and abun-
dant rose-red blooms, varying in the
later varieties from pink to purple
and even blush white. A particularly
choice sport of a pleasing chamOis
shade is known as Queen Garcia. 1t
comes fairly true from seeds, and is
a really superior variety. A new but
nearly related species from the noun
tainS of Central Africa, discovered
in 1902, was sent out this season
under the name of Impatiens Holstii.
Seeds cost % cents the packet, the
quantity inclOsed is very small, and
the average termination of those tes-
ted on the Rural Grounds does not
exceed four plants to the packet, but
the new kind seems to please all who
are growing it. While the resembl-
ance to the Sultan balSam in foliage
and form of flower is very close the
plants have a more upright and COM
pact habit, grow faster and come into
bloom at much earlier stage of de-
velOpment, showing buds soon after
passing the seed leaf stage. The flow
ers are produced well out of the
foliage, and are larger and far more
brightly cOlOred, the shade being bril-
liant vermiliOn, closely approaching
scarlet, though without any tinge of
yellow. Many of the blooms almost
reach two inches across. and they are
produced in endless profusion, accord
ing to the determinations, from June
to frost outdoors, and continuously
indoors. The plants grow outdoors

valued among cut flowers for beauty
and sweet perfume. The yearly fas-
cicuIatiOn of the flowers causes loss,
as they are cut off and thrown away,
as useless taxes on the plant.
The fasciculated rose occurred in
California, the jasmine in Louisiana.
The indications are that the long
summers, where growth begins early
and continues long, may be the OBJ
secure cause. The growth of vegeta
ton is so rapid that perhaps some
parts of the flowers are abnOrmally
developed, at a sacrifice of other
parts that fail to keep up in the rush
of summer growth.
There used to be in past ages Il
belief that every plant had a sum of
activity within which all variations
must take place, and that a marked
variation in one direction must be
at the expense of other parts.

Rate Discrimination.

LaSC week we puDliSHeu an dlll'iC'
from the Tropical Sun, comparing
Cuban with Florida pineapples. The
writer was of the opinion that the 10
TO 20 cent difference in freight rates
in favor of the Cuban fruit would
not make any real difference to the
growers. In an editorial we took the
ground that his statement was incOr-
rect, that even if it did not make any
real difference still it was unjust and
should be corrected. This week a
writer in the Palm Beach News, takes
argues against it at considerable
length.
In the issue of the Tropical Sun of
the 18th inst there is an article pur-
porting to be an interview with one
Mr.. VIM. Allan, of New York, in
which among other things the follow
ing appears:
MIR. Allan, agreeing with many of
the most successful growers, thinks
that the freight tariff on pines has lit
tie to do with the future of the indus
try, believing that ten to twenty
cents crate will amount to little
either way with the larger growers,
while the producers of four to five
hundred crates, who are termed as the
smaller producers, it amounts to prac-
tically nothing
Beng one of these SO-called small
er producers of four to five hundred
crates" | must say that, to me, it ap-
pears most remarkable, to say the
least, that a difference of 10 or 20
cents per crate in freight tariff
amounts to practically nothing.
| To begin with, to produce, say 500
crates requires, Oh an average, about
acres which, to bring into bearing
condition, will cost, together with
crate materials, etc, about $4OO per
acre making total for the acres.
The small matter, in Mr.. AS estima-
| ton, would amount to from six and
one fourth to twelve and One-half
per cent of capital invested. Would
you or any sane man think that that
| is practically nothing?
! But if it is such a small matter as
| Mr.. \ wants to make it appear, then
why does he not lay the thing before
the managers of the railroads and try
| his persuasive ability on those intel
| Iectual gentlemen instead of us dull
pineapple growers, but coming as he
does from New York, he has a little
better sense for, | bet a big apple, if
he tried it. a hurry call for police
would be instantly sent in and the
next thing he would find himself
safely landed in padded cell where
he could do neither himself nor his
| fellOwmen any further harm.
| But is the difference in freight tariff
only 10 to 20 cents? | am reliably in
formed that the managers of the rail
roads entering New Orleans and Mia
mi had Il gentleman's agreement this
last season. of a 5S cent rate for pine
J apples from Havana to Chicago,
which, in the latter part of the season,
was cut to 81 cuts via Miami. Our
rate from a few miles south of West
Palm Beach to Chicago is SO cents,
