Achauia Drummondii.

Seeing an item in an exchange
recommending Achania malvaviscus
as desirable house plant, at the
North, reminds us that we have not
called your attention to Achania
DrummOndii for long time. Where
there is no severe frost. it is a shrub
by perennial, but when killed by frost
it is an herbaceOus perennial, for the
stems spring up vigorously and bloom
almost as soon as shoots from old
stalks that have not been hurt by
cold. 1t begins to bloom quite early
in the season, and keeps it up till stop
ped by cold weather. Not only are the
bright scarlet blossoms very beautiful,
but the fruit, which is dark red, is
also quite snowy. We know of no
shrub which more surely deserves
place in every home yard i'm Florida.

of its having been tried, and if so
with what result?
Mrs. GeOrgiana s. Townsend, of
Southern. California, writes as follows
to Parks Floral Magazine:
California Poppy is the popular
ns1ne of this lovely wildling; although
it has no characteristics of the culti-
waited Poppy. The flower is exquisite.
The texture is like very fine sheer satin,
and | know of no plant producing such
glittering color. like FURNISHED gold.
In the foothills above Pasadena, are
the Poppy fields When the rains be-
gin. the POppies start into growth,
and the great stretches of brown bar
rem foothills, are converted into a
blazing eXpanse. The intensity of the
color radiates such great distance
that it can be seen at sea thirty miles
away. The roots i'm our yard have
blOOmed all summer I've cut them
back half dozen times. as they
sprawl, but they are vigorous, and soon
bloom again.

Othonna.

A correspondent of Parks Floral
Magazine recommends this plant for
covering flower pots. If you do not
know the plant, we will say that it is
one of the best vines for a hanging
basket that we know. The item is as
follows:
For covering flower pots, think
nothing eXcelS the modest little OthOn-
ma. Put few small pieces an inch or
two apart when you have repOtted your
plants. and see how quickly it will
cover the earth and drOOp over the
sides of the pot: entirely covering it
in short time. L have an Asparagus
Plumosus fOrty-eight inches high. with
twelve large fronds. 1t is planted in Il
half gallon pot Last spring l put
few pieces of OthOnna in the soil. and
now the entire pot is covered so close
ly it is impossible to see it. The sprays
drOOp over the sides of the stand up
on which the pot is placed. and nearly
reach the floor. Both plants love
water.

Some of our state exchanges are
urging the planting of Cabbage
Palmetto for street adOrnment. Two
of them have had items, within the
last week, recommending such plant
ing. We believe in tree planting along
the sides of all streets except those de
voted to business houses. Cabbage
PalmettOes give a tropical appearance
to the scene, and a few of them mingl-
ed among other species add to the
effect, but for shade, they are practi-
caHy useless. Therefore we do not
advocate planting them in large num-
bers 1t is probable that there are
some of our readers who will not
agree with us, that is their privilege.
If any of them wish to argue the
question, we shall be very glad to
allow them all the space needed for
the purpose.

Strong Vitality of Cacti.

Several years ago we tried an eX-
pertinent with some cacti, Opuntias, by
putting some sand in the bottom of
two bottles, dropping i'm some cuttings
of two species of Opuntia, corking
them UP tight and then sealing the
tops with wax. These bottles were
placed on a shelf on the south side of
the house, where they get the full
blaze of the sin for three-fOurths of
hte day in summer. They lived in
that way, for two or three years, but
one finally died. The other bottle was
broken by accident, but has remained
on the shelf, and the Opuntia is still
living, not only living, but growing.
having made new joint, an inch or
more in length, on each one of five
branches. The base of the bottle is
only two inches wide by four inches
long, and the sand is less than two
inches deep. 1t has stood on the shelf
all the time, had not been watered ex-
cept by the rain, and at times must
have been as dry as dust for weeks
at a time. Yet it keeps alive, and as
We said, is growing quite vigorously
for so small a plant.

Hemeroca11is F1ava, Lemon Lily.

n correspondent of the Florists EX-
change recommends this plant Sever
al of the HemerOcallis species are com
mon in cultivation at the North, but
the one known as Lemon Lily is de
cidedly the best.
The HemerOcallis family comprises
beautiful group of plants with
trumpet, lily-like flowers. The name
HemerOcallis signifies day lily and is
most appropriate, as derived from the
Greek it means beautiful by day. by
reason, no doubt, of the fact that its
blossoms close at night. F'unkias are
known also as day lilies. They en-
brace, however, all such as have white
or blue flowers, with large, broad
foliage; whereas Hemerocallis embrac-
eS those with yellow, orange, or bronze
flowers, at the same time possessing
narrow, Strap-shaped leaves.
These day lilies are most useful for
the hardy border, and the flowers of
most varieties are fragrant. ANY good
garden soil suits their culture, but the
richer the better the results. Neither
are they adverse to growing in shady
sltuaflons, or moist places; i'm fact,
they seem somewhat partial to such
conditions. H. fava. the subject of
the Illustration, is styled the lemon
day lily, sometimes enormously given
as being orange in color, which would
allude to III. fiava. Flowers i'm June and
July.

Wisteria Chinensis.

How many of you have tried the
Wisteria in Florida? We have fine
specimen, and do not see any objection
to it, except that it is deciduOus, and
does not flower freely except in early
spring. 1t will bear stray clusters of
flowers along through the summer,
but only few. Mr.. Joseph Meehan
describes this vine, in the Florists
Exchange, as follows:
What a magnificent Towering vine
the Chinese Wisteria is. 1t has always
been perhaps the most called for of
all vines used for Towering purposes,
the gOrgeOusness of it's appearance at
its Towering season causing all that
see it to find space for it ON their own
grounds, if not already i'm possession of
one. 1t is a vine that never misses a
season i'm its Towering, although it is
more profuse in blossoms at some sea
sons than at others. Last spring,
when this photograph was taken, it
was uncOmmOnly beautiful, as our
close to dwelling and given some sup
port, it will not cease its growth until
it has reached the top of it; and it
should be remembered, too, that it's
Towering is never at it's best until it
has reached the top. Besides its use
i'm the way described, it is handsome in
a dwarf shape. Set out as a shrub,
it forms an irregular, tangled mass.
which suits many positions and in such
a shape it flowers WELL Another way
is to make a standard of it, by driving
IA stout stake to a plant, tying to it a
straight shoot of the vine. taking off
the point of the shoot at whatever
height decided on. There will follow
in time, a vine with a self-sustaining
stem and with a spreading head which
In its season will be covered with
flowers. Nurserymen so train them.
ana sell them as standard Wisterias.

tree, for ornamental street planting
which he praises very highly. 1t is
deciduOus at the North. but, as the
tropical species are evergreen, it is
possible that this one would be in Flo
rida.
Cedreir SinenSus is considered a
coming tree for nurserymen to possess.
Having all the eXcellences of the allan
thus to recommend it. with none of the
bad qualities of the latter, it is destin-
ed to become very popular. The allan
thus is known to thrive well in cities,
in waste ground and situations deemed
undesirable for many trees. But it
suckers terribly, and when i'm flower
the OdOr from the blossoms is sicken-
ing. The Cedrela Sinensis approaches
tut dlldICuuS CLOSELY Ill n botanical
way. and has some resemblance to it
in habit of growth and appearance of
foliage: and it possesses all the good
qualities of the other. But it does not
sucker; neither is there any objection
able OdOr to the flowers. These are
borne in dropping panicles, often over
two feet in length, but as the color
is greenish white they are not attract
i've except by their singularity.
1t cannot be said suckers never
appear; but no more than from many
another tree which is not objected TO.
The pear for instance will push up n
shoot from its roots at times. as will
many another tree: but when roots
are uninjTed there will be no spro1lt |
ing. This will make the cedrela a
valuable street tree. and it is for this
purpose it is thought it will be much |
sought for. 1t is hardy and quick |

Stop Autos WIN Dust.

Some of The farmer boys on the

When the boys see an auto coming
they whip mp their horse taking the

machine. When The old horse is
urged into a gallop the amount Of
