Hydrangeas of Guernsey.

Do you grow Hydrangeas? If not
you miss very fine show of beauti
full flowers. We know that they can
be grown in Florida with almost tropi-
cal luxurience, if given good soil. pen-
ty of water, and partial shade How
they are regarded elsewhere is shown
by the following tract from an English
paper, the Horticultural Advertiser.
Horticultural visitors to the Island
of Guernsey at this time of year (and
there are many of them) cannot but be
struck by the magnificent examples of
Hydrangea Hortensia, which abound
in all parts of the island. Not only do
they luXuriate and reach such proper
tiOns as can only be met with at home
in the southern countries, but the
cOerulean hue of the great masses of
bloom, SO interesting and sought after
rule
Looking at thenf, one almost won
derS why the Islanders, who appear to
export everything they can, even if
they go short themselves, do not try
to place this bloom upon the markets,
where its novelty, apart from its uni
que cOlOring, would appeal to sellers
and buyers alike. Perhaps the great
difficulty would be to preserve its
freshness en- route.
The ''blueness'' of the hydrangea
has been a theme of discussion time
and again i'm the horticultural press,
so L do not intend to discuss it now
l only record the fact that nearly all
the hydrangeaS in the island are OF
that most desirable hue, and that
fact should perhaps be of assistance
to those who wish to penetrate the
cause of that blueness. The soil is
mostly disintegrated granits; the sea
breezes sweep over every perch of
land, and sOmwhere among these con-
ditiOns thOsse causes must be sought.

DIR. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn.,,
Editor of the Department of Therapeu-
tics in THE ELECTRIC REVIEW says of
Unicorn root (HelOnias DiOica) one of
the chief ingredients of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription: IA remedy which
invariably acts as a uterine invigOrator
and always favors a condition which
makes for normal activity of the entire
reproductive system, cannot fail to be
of great usefulness and of the utmost
Importance to the general practitioner
of medicine"
vHelonias more fully answers the
above purposes than any other drug
scith .Dhich I am acquainted. In the
treatment of diseases peculiar to women
it Is seldom that a case is seen which
does not present some indication for
this remedial AGENT
"The following are among the lead
ing indications for Helonias: Pain or
aching in the back, with leucorrhea;,
atomic (weak) conditions of the repro
ductive organs of women, mental de-
preston and irritability, associated with
chronic diseases of the reproductive
organs of women, constant sensation of
heat in the region of the kidneys: menor-
rhagia, (rfooding") due to weakened
condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrhea, arising from or accOmpa-
nying an abnormal condition of the
digestive organs and an anemic (thin
blood) habit; dragging sensations in the
extreme lower part of the abdomen"
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid women can do bet
ter than take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which is rich in all the medicinal
properties of Unicorn root or HelOniaS.

Beekeeping in Relation to Horticul-
tur6

PROBABLY many OF our readers do
not appreciate bees Besides furnish
ing a cheap and wholesome arti-
Gle of food, they are very useful in
pollenating the flowers of many plants
which we cultivate
The following is from the Rural
California and does not put the case
any too strongly:
| am of the opinion that horticultur-
lists would make a poor showing with
out the help of bees. On the other
hand the beekeeper needs all the help
he can secure in early spring from
fruit bloom. | would not say there
could not be any fruit raised without
the help of insects in fertilization,
but | am sure they are great aids,
and in many instances almost pre-
In maHy tests on white clover, and
in one case in particular some twenty
heads of white clover were protected
from the visits of insects and no seeds
were formed; and twenty heads not
protected had over 1000 seeds formed
In case of fruit bloom, where the
bloom was covered from the visits
of insects, but little, and in most in
stances, no fruit formed
In the matter of raising cucumbers
in the winter time, it becomes neces-
sary to do so in a warm place or
greenhouse, and also becomes neces-
Sary to pOllenate the flowers by either
hand or some other method, as one
cannot have the wind to help in these
circumstances. At Minneapolis where
they have numbers of greenhouses
devoted to the raising of cucumbers
in the winter time, also at Boston
where they have a large number of
greenhouses devoted to the same, it
has been found that the keeping of
bees in these houses is the easiest
and cheapest way of getting pollen
distributed; the parties running these
greenhouses securing the bees from
apiarists for no other purpose than the
fertilizing of the cucumber Mr. Peter
Henderson, in his book on gardening,
speaks of the help and necessity OF
bees to secure the fertilizing of Gu
cumbers at this time.
Mr.. w. M. Scott, department of
agriculture, Washington, D. c., who,
in the matter of spraying fruit trees
for harmful insects, advises not to do
SO during blooming time, as the ex-
perience given by many that it can
be done either before blooming time
for fungus diseases or after bloom
ing time for harmful insects I have
held to this opinion for many years,
yet | never dreamed that Mr. Scott,
with many of the best fruit-growers,
would say that, after giving this thing
of spraying fruit trees during bloom
ing time a most thorough trial, it
did not do any more good at that time
than could be accomplished either be-

THE RETURNS FROM THE PRI-

TY OF THE 1o5 DELEGATES TO
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

New York, Sept. 19.-According to
the returns and the reported atflliation
Of the leaders elected at the democratic
primaries, Charles F. Murphy will be
in control of the twenty four votes In
the executive committee of Tammany
hall, representing twenty districts, and
will control sixty of the los delegates
to the democratic state convention.
These sixty votes will enable the lead
er of Tammany, if he so desires, to
apply the unit rule and cast the vote
of Tammany hall solidly for candi-
date to be determined upon by the ma
Jority of the delegates.
Up to the present time Murphy has
made no statement as to his intentions
in this, but during the primary cam
paign ii was generally understood that
Murphy was friendly to Hearst.
The Murphy victory, however, is be-
lteved to preclude the possibility of
