panS1eS and V1OletS IN winter, TO Cd1n t
and an almost endless list during
spring and summer, keeps the flower
garden a constant source OF delight.
Many flowers which are considered
not at home in Florida are grown with
success in DeLand. Note the chrys-
anthemums grown by Mrs. S. B. Will
son, corner Minnesota and Clara ave
nues. and the violets, pansies and
other northern flowers on the lawn
of Mr.. Zeigler, near Stetson. Hardly
a lawn but that has its quota of flow
ers. DeLeon should always be held
in happy memory because of the ap-
propriate name he gave our beautiful
State.
And then the fruits! We can grow
every fruit grown in the North Tenn
perate zone. except currants, goose
berries, cherries, cranberrieS and ap-
piles. Some succeed in growing a few
apples, but not proftably. In place
of the currant we have the pomegran
ates, and for jelly the Jamaica sorrel,
which seems a substitute for both cur
rant and jelly and cranberrIes. We
have also jellies from the lemon. or
ange and grapefruit and guava- The
quava makes the best jelly at less cost.
1t has been commercial product for
a century or more, mostly from the
West Indies, but Florida is now turn
ing out very superior article which
is commanding high prices.
The orange will no doubt always be
considered the queen of fruits and has
so many uses both for kitchen and
dessert that the demand will go on
steadily increasing.
The grapefruit is very little known
among our northern friends, but is
rapidly gaining in favor, and the de-
mand is rapidly increasing. 1t has no
superior as a tonic and stimulant to
the digestive tract and it makes a
marmalade far superior to the famous
Dundee marmalade generally made
from bitter-sweet oranges.
1t has also been combined with a
superior grape wine, and is used medi-
cinally. Those who first make ac-
quaintance with it should procure per-
fectly ripe specimens grown in Flor
ida, and eat only the pulp, avoiding
the rag or white part. If ripe, the
blending of sugar, acid and bitter prin
ciple is perfect. and no addition of
sugar is desirable. There is a small g

they have been selected. We are apt
to treat a palm tree very much as we
would a jardiniere of ferns, that is,
sticking it in some house corner where
it can get only a peep of sunlight
now and then. The palms about which
| wish to speak later are such as
can stand the full glare of the sun
without injury; they can be left out
in the most tempestuous winds that
we have; they can stand months of
neglect, and come out smiling from
this course of treatment. Like every
other cultivated specimen, they take
very good naturedly to kind treat
ment. They differ from most trees
in that the position of their leaves
permits the free circulation of air,
and the broad leaved, fan palms afford
a good and cool shade.
With all these good qualities they
have the still further excellent ones
of being remarkably free from fungus
and insect attacks. In addition to
this, they do not harbor that most
annoying pest with which we have to
deal at times, the Florida mosquito.
In setting out these trees due regard
should be had for the landscape eff
feet One of these trees when once
set out is almost never transplanted
Not that they are so exceedingly d1f-
ficult to transplant, but their beauty
being once realized, they are SO valued
that no one has the courage to hazard
the chance of losing a fine specimen.
If the trees are planted with a view
of avenue setting, they should be
placed far enough back from the road
to allow full development of the
leaves without the necessity of cut
ting back. For planting about the
dooryard or open lawn due regard
should be had for the point of view,
so that when these have grown to be
tall trees the view may not be OBJ
structed. The contour of a piece of
land should also be had in mind, and
the general character of the trees and
other ornamenta1s about the dooryard.

PUT TO SEA FOR HANGING.
Maryland authorities VIII Probably
Erecute Negro aboard Boat.

Baltimore, July 25.-With the greatest possible
secrecy, William Lee, the negro who has been held
in the city Jail under sentence of death for assault
ing two women in Somerset County, some weeks
ago. was placed aboard the steamer Governor r.
NJ McLane, Of the Maryland oyster navy, to-day
and started for Somerset County be executed for
his crime.
Lees case has been one Of great difficulty to the
authorities owing to the indignation the crime
aroused on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 1t has
been repeatedly declared that the citizens of that
neighborhood will never allow the negro to be le-
gally executed, and threats Of burning at the stake
have been freely made.
After the crime Lee fed to the Eastern Shore of
Virginia, and to protect him from Maryland pur-
suers he was taken Norfolk under guard of Vir-
ginia militiamen, Then he was brought to this
city, tried and convicted promptly. The law gives
a convicted murderer twenty days between the day
conviction and his execution. This period eX-
pired to-day. On board the Governor McLane the
oficers having Lee in charge took gallows coffin
and all other necessary things and it is said that
the execution will take place on board the steamer
as soon as possible after the waters OF Somerset
County reached This will probably not be until
early tomorrow morning. II is hoped thus to cir
cuIavent those who swOre to lynch Lee.
