AN AMERICAN REMEDY.

There is probably no medicine manu-
featured that can be found in more
homes in the United states than Cham
berlain's Collie. Cholera and DiarrhOea
Remedy. It has been in general use
for over thirty years and each sue
cessive epidemic of diarrhoea and
dysentery during this time has tested
its merit and proved it's superiority
over all similar preparations. The re-
liability and prompt cures of this
remedy have won for it the confidence
o. many physicians who often pre-
scribe it in their practice. No case
has ever yet been reported where its
use has failed to give relief. This
remedy is for sale in this city by Ben
son, Smith & Co, Agents for Hawaii.

A few yeas ago, after recommend
ing Daubentonia punicea as a desir
able Towering and ornamental shrub,
we offered to give seeds of it free to
any one who would send a self ad-
dressed stamped envelop. Not more
than four or five took advantage of
the offer to apply for seeds. We do
not feel much encouraged to- try it
again. However, we will see if any
one wants new and desirable herba-
ceous perennial. We call it new,
although it is native of the state,
because it is not known in cultivation.
We described it a few weeks ago.
Our plant is now ripening seeds and
we will send small package free to
any one who will send self address
ed stamped envelop to us.

Clematis Recta.

An item in the Florists Exchange
recommends this plant as good for
decoration OF for cut flowers. We be-
lieve it would be worthy of a trial in
this state. Coming from Southern
Europe it is probable that it could be
grown here.
This species belongs to the peren-
NAL non climbing class of Clematis
It is sometimes called G.. erecta, and
although fairly we'll known it should
be accorded a much wider cultivation.
When in flower, which is from June
to August, quite an extended period,
it is surpassed by few other plants
in the hardy flower garden for beauty
and display of bloom. Its blossoms
are creamy white, sweet-scented, and
borne in great prOfusion upon spread
ing terminal corymbs. A grand plant
is c.. recta for cut flower purposes.
Like all elena tises, it grows best in
deep rich soils. This species is native
of Southern Europe, and should be
cultivated extensively.

We believe that these plants could
be grown in Florida, if set in rich
soil in partial shade. That they are
worth the trouble is shown by the
following account taken from the Ru-
raj New Yorker:
A bed of 100 California Ery throni-
ums in four varieties from bulbs sup
piled by Mr.. Carl Purdy, Ukiah, CAL,
produced a wonderfully attractive
floral effect for nearly three weeks
in early May. 1t was made up of
25 each E.. CalifOrnicum, broad mot
tied foliage, pale primrose blooms of
great size; E. citrinum, mottled foil
age, creamy white flowers with bright
yellow centers; e. grandiforum ro-
bustum, large dark green foliage, very
brilliant yellow blooms of great size,
and b. Hartwegii, also with plain
foliage, flowers clear yellow, several
from each bulb. The bulbs were
planted in late October in light soil
in partial shade, bedding them in two

very desirable for w-growing hedg-

Some Interesting Plants.


A California correspondent of the
Florists Exchange writes an account
of some plants blooming at that time.
1t was accompanied by photograph
which was reproduced in the paper.
1t shows an Agava Americana in
flower, about 25 to 80 feet tall judg-
ing from the lady standing by it,
If they can grow the Lemon Yer
bena to the size of a tree, why can we
not grow it to the size of a bush?
A beautiful sight is Jasminum azO-
ricum, just now in bloom, with it's
stars shaped, pure white flowers, close
ly set on the stem, against a back
ground of dark green foliage. It is
the most beautiful, though not the
most fragrant member of the family,
and along the coast section of this
state should be more extensively

in the warm, dry interior valleys
The photograph herewith shows a
century plant, Agave americana, now
ten years old. The height of the stem
may be estimated by the picture of
the young lady beside it. Orioles by

"A bed of Commelina coelestis,

Tradescantia discolor, is a beautiful
thing indeed. The flowers have but

those of Saliva patens, are about one

good grower, and decidedly the best of
it's color. The above are all single
Powered varieties, but the following
two doubles were equally fine: Presi-
dent Garfield, light pink; and Alfred
Neuner, pure white. Apart from its
beauty, this last is of especial inter
est as it was the first double-fowered
Bouvardia in cultivation, having been
sent to England FROM the United
States, where it originated as a sport
about twenty-five years ago.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-09-05

Have any of our readers ever tried
to grow Bouvardias in Florida?
Twenty to twenty-five years ago they
were quite popular at the North. We
have not seen them mentioned lately
in the papers of this country. Larger,
more snowy flowers have cast them
into the shade. 1t ought not to be
allowed In this state they would
have to be grown in partial shade,
either under Hath shelter or ON the
north side of a building, or as house
plants. If any one has tried them
here, we should be glad to hear from
them. The following item is from an
English periodical, the Gardeners
Magazine:
Some years ago, when small neat
flowers were far more appreciated for
sprays, buttonholes and similar pur-
poses than they are now, | used,
when all danger from frosts was over,
to plant out the old bouvardias in a
sheltered part of the reserve garden,
where, supplied with water, they
could always be depended upon to
keep up succession of their charm
ing flowers throughout the summer.
These came in no great quantity it is
true, but a useful picking could al
ways be obtained. l was, however,
greatly surprised to see such neat,

Evergreen Hedges.

Evergreen hedges.
Evergreen hedges are not used in
this state as much as they should be.
They are ornamental and may be
used to divide a front yard from the
vegetable garden or as a screen. A
correspondent of the Florists Review
tells how they are treated in CalifOr
MIA. The same rules would also APP
ply in Florida.
During the month of September is
the best time of the year to trim ever
green hedges; that is, such varieties
as are pruned only once during the
season. With trees that are cut twice
a year the month of May is about the
proper time for the first trimming. Tt
is surprising to what a low height
hedges can be kept if properly pruned.
The writer has hedge of Monterey
Cypress, tree much used ON this
coast for hedges, that has been kept
forty years, and has not been allowed
to grow any wider than thirty inches.
This is due entirely to- the careful
manner of trimming.
1t is not advisable to cut Cypress in
the middle of winter, for when the
weather is severe the trees make lit
them to die back considerable dis
lance after cutting, whereas when
trimmed in their growing season they
do not seem to notice the setback
This is just the reverse from decidu-
GUS hedges, but few of which are seen
here
With the Cypress, as with all othei
evergreen hedge trees, Hhe cutting
never wants to be neglected for a
season. Many a beautiful hedge has
been ruined by allowing the lateral
branches to spread and grow too
much, so that when pruned back to
the proper distance, bare, leafess
impossible to get new growth, par
ticularly on the lower portion of the
trees. Occasionally the trees die out
in spots and the symmetry is often
irreparably ruined.
With PittOspOrums we use tenuifO-
liza and Emgenoides, both of which
are valuable trees for this purpose.
They should be trimmed twice a year
and they can be kept at any desired
height by the same process. Lauresti-
nus, (Vfburnum tinus), is also much
used and should be pruned the same.
California Privet is not planted as
much here as in the East and will
stand trimming three times a year at
least. Tree Box should not be cut
oftener than once year and the

Richard was greatly relieved to find
that he should be under no necessity Of
meeting the woman he had last seen
under circumstances so embarrassing
to both. n
This being Jennie's first visit to the
mountains everything to her was new
and wondrously beautiful. Richard
had been there so frequently that he
knew just how and where to go to OBJ
tain the finest views, and he lost no
time in Offering Lis services as guide
to Jennie and her uncle.
Mr.. Selwyn gladly accepted his offer
in behalf of his niece.
"AIy climbing days are over" he
said, with a smile, ''but / am anxious
to have Jennie see everything that is
worth seeing"
And so, to Richards great delight,
it was arranged that he was to be her
escort and companion on every coca
sion. AS for Jennie, she threw herself
into his plans and suggestions with all
the zest and abandon of a child.
Clad in thick boots, brown linen
dress, which cleared the ground all of
two inches, and a broad brimmed hat,
she clambered up hills and over rocks
in way that would have shocked her
fine lady aunt and cousin, but which
surprised and delighted Richard, who
had never seen anything like it before.
The happy week tha followed passed
all too quickly. So, when Mr.. Selwyn
announced one morning as they were
all seated out upon the piazza his in
tention of returning the next day, the
shock brought a sudden revelation to
the heart of each as to how much of
the happiness they had enjoyed was
due to the presence and companionship
Of the other.
Perhaps Mr.. Selwyn suspected how
it was between the two, for, in a few
minutes he went into the house, leav-
ing them alone together.
The rays of the rising sun fell like a
halo around Jennie's head as she lis
tened to the story, old, yet ever new,
which Richard poured into her willing
ear. In his eyes the bushes of the
dawn were not brighter than those
which dyed her cheek, or. the song of
the birds in the branches above their
heads half so sweet to him as the
sweet assurance that made him so SUI
premely blessed.

gaslight," he cried, "but you-oh, my
beloved! it is meet that / should WOO

the sunshine, and from the threshold
where he stood Richard could see only
the dim outline of a woman curled up
in large chair, the back of which was
toward him. Thinking to give her some
intimation Of his presence he tapped at
the haIf-open door.
What 90 you stand knocking at the
door for" cried voice, which, in spite
of its high key, he did not fail to rec.
ognize. You spoiled my dress yester-
day. and now YOU want to give me my
death of cold, | suppose. Because
you're a relation you think I'll put up
with everything. Pa only took you out
of charity, and a pretty return you
make Coz it."
TO. say that Richard was thunder
struck is to say little. Thinking that
it must be some delusion of the senses
he advanced toward the speaker, who
now turned ner head.
Uttering u little shrek she half
arose, and then, sinking back, made
an abortive attempt to hide herself.

Of taking the'sene which led into the
hall, he opened the door into the dining

busily,engaged in putting it to rights.
Comprehending the situation at a
glance, she smilingly offered TO conduct
our hero to the outer door. who ex-
pressed his thanks, and regrets for the
trouble he had caused her in as courtly
terms as his confused ideas enabled
him to use.
1T is no trouble" she said, with a
blush and smile, that dwelt long in his
memory.

as he went down the steps. who

Then his thoughts reverted to the
fair vision of which he had obtained so
brief glimpse. How pretty she
looked in the neat print, that fitted so
perfectly the beautifully rounded form,
and how perfectly she smiled and
blushed. There was no sham. no false
color there, surely.

A strong impulse came over him to
tell her this. as he was seated alone
with her one evening in a cozy corner
of her fathers parlor. Ida had inst
been singing and playing for him one
Of those sweet and tender strains
which take such a strong hold on the
heart and imagination of youth.
AS he saw the soft light that brooded
in the dark eyes that were turned upon
him he was almost sure that she would
lend favorable ear to the story that
was trembling upon his Alps. &
In trying to clothe' IN words the tu-
multuous thoughts that were strug-
Cling for utterance, Richard lifted his
eyes to the Jets of flame thatfcast such
a soft, subdued radiance around. AS
he did so there flashed upon his mind
his uncle's dying injunction and his
own promise. Instead of the bloom

True, 1t was a foolish promise to
