coast of America. Some of these ex-
eel all other plumS in quality and
productiveness under the most ad-
verse circumstances of soil and eli

Among the flowers perhaps the
most remarkable is the wonderful Sc

known everywhere; the Burbank,
Santa Rosa" and other new roses;
the fragrant "Mayhower" verbena,
which is in fragrance and color the
exact counterpart of the trailing arbu-
tus, but with perfume even more pro-
nounced and a great increase in the
size of blooms: the fragrant calla, the
new "Silver Lining" and the ever
blooming perennial poppies, the GRIM
son Eschscholtzia, new clematls, G1-
ant Amaryllis, new Crinums, Heuche-

These new cacti have also been train
ed to grow faster, to produce better
fruit more abundantly, and to assume
more compact and better form OF
| growth.
There is, too, the phenomenal hy-
bird berry, the largest and, when
cooked, the finest of all known ber-
ries. The "Himalaya" blackberry, the
plants of which grow faster and larg-
er than any grapevine, and which,
when established, bear nearly hum
dred pounds of fruit to a plant each
season, is well known in the West:
So also are the "Royal" and Paradox
hybrid walnuts, which easily outgrow
any other trees in the temperate
| zone, and the Burbank" walnut,
which bears nuts abundantly of su-
perior quality at four to six years OF
age.

They, with many others not mention
ed here, are sold outright to various
prominent seedsmen and nurserymen
who offer them for sale in large or
small quantities, as desired.

In an article Oh the tomato crop a
month ago the Miami Metropolis gave
a reason why truck raising is becom-
ing more lucrative and satisfactory
than ever in Florida. Heretofore ''the
majority of growers tried to see how
many acres they could plant and how
many crates they could put upon the
market AS they had little know
ledge as to proper culture the result
was losses. of all kinds. "This year"
said the Metropolis, 1.-The growing of
tomatoes has been based on a more
scientific and profitable plan. No
grower planted more than One-third
the acreage he put out in past years:
he selected the best seed and was able
by the small acreage to give the vines
and fruit attention, thus aiding the
plants in developing and producing
heavy yields: In this way the fruit is
made a better quality than ever be-
fore, the crop can be gathered and
shipped at the right time, and the pro-
fits derived highly satisfactory. as the
market ait no time has been glutted.'
What is true of tomatoes applies to
other crops. Our truckers are study
ing the business and developing it on
scientific lines, reducing Thereby the
amount of wasted labor and making
returns at once more certain and more
satisfactory. Myers Press.

How Plants are Trained to Work for
Man.
Man..

We find, in an exchange credited,
to the Youths Companion, an article
without signature, but which was evi-
IDENTIFY written by Luther Burbank.
None of our fruits or vegetables have
reached their best possible develop
ment Perhaps this may induce some
young man, or several of them, to
try and see what can be done in this
line 1t is very fascinating occupa-
ton, but skill comes by practice, if
you have any interest in such inn
provements you will find that it will
grow as you follow it up.
The earliest history dawns upon a
people who are somewhat skilled in
the culture of plants, and the writ
ings of all ages abound in poetical
imagery drawn from the world OF
vegetation. Long before the pyra-
mids arose man had learned to culti-
vate trees, fruits and flowers care
fully and Systematically; and this cul-
ture, although mostly unrecorded, has
without doubt done ten thousands
times more for the advancement and
happiness of the human race than all
the wars that have been so carefully
placed on record.
We have now learned that plants
are as plastic in our hands as clay II
the hands of the potter.
The silent but all-powerful forces
with which plant life has been endow-
ed are so universally diffused, ant
have always been so familiar to us
that, like sunlight, air and water, we
have generally taken them as matter
of course Yet even in the past, be.
fore it was discovered how readily
these vital forces could be educated
and trained, all civilization, all life
even, has been dependent upon them.
All our food and all our clothing art
produced directly or indirectly by
these beneficient, silent forces. Take
this work of plant life from the earth
and art, music, education, science, ar
mics, navies, governments, all woulc
be of no avail; in fact, all would bs
