The joint statehood bill has
made a successful trip through
the house, and now goes to the
senate where there will be the
most superhuman efforts to beat
it. To us it seems an outrage to
compel these states, Arizona and
New Mexico, to come into the
union as one state. Most surely
they should be admitted, but to
destroy their individuality, to
combine that vast area of terri
tory into one state and all for the
purpose of cutting down senate
rial representation, is an outrage
that the senate should stop.

BY reason of the fact that a
number of men were playing cards
in a hotel in Lowell, Mass. at a
late hour, a fire was discovered in
time to save all the guests but
three. AS yet we have not heard
of any wild rush of Boston pulpl-
teers to give the credit that should
be theirs, but we will wager that
if thew had been the cause of the
fire everyone would have heard
of it by this time.

Sleeping Car Service.

On Sunday, December 18th. the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
inaugurated daily line of stand
ard and tourist sleeping cars be-
tween Denver and Los Angeles
in connection with the new Clark
Road. Both cars will leave Den
yer daily at $50 a. m. and arrive
at Salt Lake City at 1:30 p. m.
the next day. AT this point the
cars will be held over until mid
night, thus allowing through pas
sengers the privilege of a stop
over of ten hours and half in
Salt Lake City. Eastbound, these
cars will leave Los Angeles at
$50 p. m. and arrive at Salt Lake
City at $3.50 a. m. second morning
where they will remain over until
$50 p. m, thence to Denver
where they will arrive at APO the
following afternoon. This stop
over at Salt Lake City OF the
regular line of sleeping cars
promises to be an attractive
feature for trans-continental
travellers.

any Eastern or Southern florist so far
as we know. They belong to the fami-

Nicholson gives the height of Plum

Bulbs for Fall Planting.
Editor Floral Department:

Editor Floral Department:
About now an article on bulbs suit
able for planting in this state, or ait
least in the orange belt, would be time
ly and would be greatly appreciated.
Let us know, for instance, what
Narcissus to plant in open ground.
Poets Narcissus, (Narcissus Poeticus),
is said to do but poorly, while the
Polyanthus group grow well. In such
articles small essentials are often skip
ped, as, when to plant, distance apart,
depth to set the bulbs, best soil and
how long will it be before they will
bloom?
Mention also, what bulbs it is not
worth while to bother with, as tulips
for instance.
George A. Purdie.
owe do not feel competent ito write
pei.ence goes, all the varieties of Mar
cissus that we have tried do we'll and
are perfectly satisfactory. We have
not tested n. Poeticus. I should set
IN the fall at any time after the bulbs
can be had, that is as soon as the
importers get their stock from Europe.
Narcissus will grow on any good soil,
but do better on moist rich one.
Tulips are out of the question, it is
waste of time to set them, even if
the bulbs do not cost cent.
Hyacinths are but little better, they
will grow fairly WE'LL but the flowers
will not get out of the ground, unless
you put cone of stiff paper over each
bulb as the bloom stem begins to
show The cone should be five or
six inches high and the tip must be cut
off to- allow a little light to enter at
the top and thus draw the stems up
toward the light. MOntbrettias and
Gladioli do better set in the fall. We
shall be glad to hear from any of our
readers who have had experience with
any kind of bulbs. The report of
failures is often more valuable than
an account of great successfully

Correspondence.

Some time ago we received from
Mrs. Moon, who writes for this depart
ment, a private letter of which a part
may be Of general interest.
1T shows how many beautiful things
may be found in the woods and fields,
when you have your eyes open and
are on the lookout for them. The
letter is as follows:
II am just back from a trip over on
the Gulf coast of Mississippi. 1 visit
ed Biloxi, Gulf Port and other points.
At Biloxi l found many beautiful
wild flowers, among others beautiful
scarlet Lilly with golden center and
maroon spots.
Also the flowers which 1 enclose,
these flowers are of three colors, yell
low, white and lavender They grow
on a naked stem from one to two
feet high, the leaves, of which I send
you a specimen, all spring from the
ground. The flowers keep fresh and
nice in bOquets for over a week. 1t
seems as though they are worthy of a
place in the flower gardens, if they
would but adapt themselves to cultiva-
ton.
/ also found very pretty scarlet
flower, called 10y the natives ''fire
crackers" several kinds of Hibiscus,
No r o4yv;o
pitcher plant (Sarracenia), and many
other things which [ did not know.
Among the plants not in bloom, I
saw large quantities of Trailing Ar
butus and six kinds of Violets. l
was told that there were many beauti-
full spring Towering shrubs, and also
many herbaceous plants which died
down after towering
CThe Lily is no doubt Lilium Gates
baei, which is the only variety which
is found wild in the Southern states.
OF the three varieties next mentioned,
only two specimens came to hand, the
yellow was Habenaria ciliaris, the
Yellow-fringed Orchis.
The white was not in good condi-
ton, but was probably III. blepharig-
lottis. We do not know what the
lavender species could have been. It
is not probable that it was a Habena-
ria, for though there are three purple
lowered species ait the North, none
of them have ever been reported as
found south of the mountains of North
Carolina.
ALI these plants are cultivated in
gardens, but require rich moist soil
and partial shade The Lily will grow
in the sun if the soil is kept cool by
being we'll mulched.
1T is hardly possible that Trailing
Arbutus has been found in Mississippi,
it has never been reported south Of
Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Prob
ably the plant which was mistaken
for the Arbutus was Mitchella repens,
this is also a trailing evergreen vine,
which bears red berries known as
partridge berries.
There are hundreds of beautiful
plants in the woods which are worthy
of a place in the gardens of all who
love fowers.-Ed.)
