common name is gum cistus, as well
as rock rose. AS these species of
cistus are not considered very hardy
IN England. it was a surprise and a
pleasure to find that G.. laurifOlius
would stand our cold climate, where
it met zero almost every winter. The
flowers of this ciStuS are handsome.
They are white with a yellow mark

Colletia Cruciata.

ftw weeks ago we received Il
thorny shrub entirely destitute of
leaves but having several clusters of
small white flowers growing out of the
sides of the stem. AS it was evidently
cultivated shrub which was new TO
us. we mailed it TO one of the Botanic
Gardens and asked that it be named.
plant was COlletia cruciata. belonging
to the Rhamnaceae, and was a native
of South America. The sender says
that tie shrub is growing i'm an aban-
doned field. is feet high and 10 feet
in diameter. Seems to be entirely
hardy. The original plant was
brought from indianapolis by the late
Maj. o. F. Rocks. Whether it was
hardy there or not is not known.
The twig was extremely thOrny and
very curious in appearance, the little
twigs are exactly opposite each other
and each pair is at right angles to
the pair below From it's appearance
it seems to look like EuphOrbia or
something similar. The flowers are
also quite curious. growing i'm small
clusters from the sides of the twigS,
not from the axis of leaves or from
buds along the edges.
1t seems that it would be a very
desirable plant to grow if it could be
bought, but so far as we know it

Under this title, Mr. Joseph Meehan

My impression is that among the
rock roses grown in England the CiS-
tuS laurifOliuS and CiStuS ladaniferuS
are considered the hardest, ana that
of these two the ladaniferuS leads in
hardness. Several of the hardest
sorts were tried in Philadelphia some
years ago, and of all of them, c. lauri-
fOlius was the only one hardy, and
it was perfectly hardy, growing part

There was but one bush of it. 1t grew

Plants for Hot and Dry Climate
Remember in all hot climates that it
is necessary to get an early start on
ornamental planting so that the roots
of the plants will have penetrated deep
down to cooler. mOiSter earth before
the coming of hot weather Remem-
ber that in all dry climates mulch
over plant roots is imperative, to keep
them from roasting, and to conserve
moisture. With these precautions
this list of Towering plants and vines
will do well in hot, dry, sunny Iocali-
ties. The best ANIMALS are Datura.
POrtulacca, Globe Amaranth. Nastur-
tiums (climbing), NicOtiana. Ricinus.
SunfiOwer. BartOnia. Zinnias and Dian
thus. MOonflower, Cypress Vine. Ma
deira. Cinnamon Vine, Passion-fower
and Clematis are the best of the vines.
The best perennials are Euphorbia,
Fewerfew, Achllea, Gysophila, He'll
anthuS, HemerOcallis, HOllyhOck. Hy-
pericum, Papaver, Antirrhinum. AS
clepiaS and BOltOnia. Amaryllis and
Crinum do well also.

A Freak.

A California paper, the China Cham
piOn. publishes an item about a freak
which it says lady brought into the
Office, 1t was small double flower
which grew on a morning glory vine
which was alongside of a Moon flower
vine. It was thought to be cross
between the two. There is not the
slightest probability that it is cross
1t is merely a freak of nature. If it

Shirley Poppies.

We have seen POppies blooming
very freely in this state. They are
hardy ANIMALS and should be more
commonly grown by flower lovers i'm
Florida. After they are once estab-
lished, they will come up year after
year from self-sOwn seed. Tht follow
ing account of one species is from
the Florists Exchange:
A colony of these poppies in flower
is certainly sight worth seeing; in
fact, it is difficult to convey on paper
the effect produced by such a gorgeous
display of color. Not only are the
cOlOrs diverse and charming, but the
texture of the flowers, or, rather, the
petals. themselves is highly refined,
resembling finely crimpled satin.
Some specially selected strains of
this poppy are now on the market,
so that when placing your order for
hardy ANIMALS and make a point to
have it in early-by no means fail
to insert therein at least one of these
brands. When you get these embryOs
of floral beauty, be good to them and
have i'm readiness a sunny spot pre-
viOusly well titled and filled with
plenty of good. rich, well-decOmpOsed
barnyard manure. There is nothing
like it. Such kindness will afterward
be found tea more than repay All
trouble
Sow the seed early. This is of pri-
mary Importance TO success with
hardy ANIMALS. Now, in the case of
small seeds. and that of the poppy is
one, there is always a great tendency
to SOW too thickly and irregularly.
wasting thus a lot of seed. A simple
device will Obviate this. Mix the seed
about four times it's own bulk of dry
sand and then scatter this mixture.
Thin out the plants where growing too
thickly, and observe that during a
spell of dry weather they suffer not
from drought. Give a good watering.
when needed, and let the word good
be emphasized. Mere sprinkling is of no
use whatever; it will prove much
detrimental than beneficial "nAdher-
ence to these few cultural directions
will bring good results.

Third: Because Vinol acts first upon

strength is created.
Fourth: Since we first put Vinol on

MEETING OF COUNCIL
ALDERMEN TO CONSIDER INTER-
EsTIN6s MATTERS TONIGHT,


The regular semi-montnly meeting
ofxhe Montgomery City Council will be
held tonight beginning at o'clock and
several matters of Importance to the
city government are to be considered
The new Aldermen have about
worked into their offices and 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a food of
ordinai tes and resolutions sor refer
ence to stan ding committees o s we'll as
a number of committee reports.
The chief matter of interest will be
the iLal action of the Aldermen upon
the sslary measure which, was intro
duced at the last session and went over
for dispe sition tonight. The measure
was prepared by q special committee of
the Council. IL is of prJme, impestanee.
TO number of city officials as 1t pro-
poses to increase their salaries. In no
single instance was a salary reduced.
Among the salaries to he raised by
the mee sure are: Police captain from
$1,000 year to $1,5e0 a year; treasurer
from $500, to $4,000; FIRE chief
from $500 a year to $500 a year; as
sistant fra chief from $1,000 year
to $1,000 year: day police sergeant
from $1,000 year to $1,000 a year. and
a sliding scale of increased salaries
for members Of the fire department.
There is a probability that friends of
other city officials will seek to amend
the ordinance so as to provide raises
for them and the ordinance may occa-
sion considerable debate before adj
tournment of the Council.
1t is EXPECTED that list OF appoint
ments to the police ami fire depart
ments will be forwai ded to the Council
by Mayor league that is IL Police Chief
Gerald and Fire Chief Browder have
completed their lists.
During the past week Mayor league
ness men concerning distractions of
the streets and violations of the sun
day ordinances. 1t would not be sur
prising IL the Mayor would send a
message to the Council covering these
matters.
At any rate, tonight's meeting of the
city fathers is full of promise from
the viewpoint of public interest.
