Box IL.

The Horticultural Advertiser, Eng
land, has this to say on the giving
of English names to plants:
Most amateur gardeners have some
craze connected with their hobby, with
which they torment their friends. A
common one just now with some horti-
cultural writer's is that of giving an
English name to every plant. No mat
ter whether the scientific name or
popular one be handy, and in universal
use, it must be substituted by an Eng
liSh one, even if more cumbersome and
difficult to remember, as, for instance,
when one driveling scribbler invents
the title of the Lily of the Nile for
a Gala, or 'Tufted Pansy' for a Viola
"In scanning recent number of
The Garden, we came across a para
graph in which Bush HOneysuchles'
were mentioned. These would natur
ally be taken by any sane hOrticultur-
ist to be HOneysuckles, grown in bush
form, or of dwarf habit of growth;
but the name weigellias' following in
brackets shows that the plants in
question have nothing to do with
'Honesuckles' in any way.
by should a man go out of his
way to perpetrate such misleading
synonyms? Every garden boy knows
a 'Weigelia,' and if he did not, would
calling it 'Honeysuckle' brighten his
intelligence or increase his knowledge?
Inside his own garden fence a man is

free Tin Great Britain, anyway to call
or miscall his plants as he pleaseS;
but when he instructs CD the public
it should be another matter. The nur-
seryman suffers more than anyone
from loose and misleading nomencla-
ture, and should never miss a chance
of checking eccentricities of the above
description"
No one can find fault with what
the Advertiser says. The last para
graph is particularly to the point. The
nurseryman has no end of trouble with
uncalled for names, and should not
miss a chance to try to correct it. Be
tween English names and new bOtani-
cal ones, i'm place of time-hOnOred ones,
they hardly know what a customer
wants when he departs from the old
established name. Weigelia Spiraea,
Forsythia, and like names, are good
nunciatiOn, as easy as any English
name would be. A few years ago,
when the CaryOpteris was sent out,
someone dubbed it blue Spiraea,'' and
another party, Verbena shrub. Cary
Opteris is good enough, and with this
name anyone knows what is meant
But with the two English names no
one knows what is referred to.
Neither name is wanted; but if one
were wanted, "Verbena shrub" is far
better than blue Spiraea." CaryOp-
teris has no affinity to spiraea
while it does belong to the natural

We find an article in the Florists
Exchange which brings up the Old
subject of common or English names

So many are prejudiced against
botanical names. If you tell them the
name of some new plant, they ex-
claim: "Oh! l can never remember
that But they will go On talking
about Chrysanthemums, Thunbergia,
etc, names that are often longer and
more difficult to remember than those

plant, pot and all, can be placed inside
the bloom. Grown in ordinary soil in
an exposed position on the Rural
Grounds the plants have never been
broken down or blown over by our
widest gales, nor have they been in
any way injured by frost, though ell
tireIy without protection. They
blOOmed the first summer when three
inches high, and each successive year
have grown stronger, until the top
most buds now reach something over
two feet i'll height, the plants forming
well-balanced clumps. The flowers
open widely, and average four inches
in diameter, intense deep blue, very
rarely white or light blue, in color.
The foliage makes a neat tuft near the
ground, the flower stems shooting up
from eight inches to two feet accord
ing to age and size of plant. The
blooming season extends from June
until the last of August, the plants
being covered with flowers during the
whole interval. We consider the

baceOuS garden. This variety has been
offered under the misleading name of
1uberOus-rOOted Clematis and also as
PIatycOdOn Tom Thumb. Seeds may
be had for 10 to % cents the packet
and should be SOwn early in spring
either in pots or in the garden. In
either case the plants will bloom by
midsummer. The tuberOuS roots may
be transplanted any time when dor

inches apart.
Dianthus Laciniatus Mirabilis.-The
Miracle pink from Japan. Fig. III,
in The X. n. Y. for April 8, 1905, was
engraved from a dried specimen of
this remarkable novelty. Our garden
plants, however, produced flowers
twice as large, exceeding five inches in
diameter, in color ranging from pure
white to very deep crimson, some with
beautifully contrasting white and pink
zones. The long thread-like fringes
add much to the beauty of these great
blooms. The plants are very thrifty,
growing over a foot high and bloom
ing the whole season.
Sweet-scented Diadem Pink.-These
are beautiful hybrids of the border
or Scotch pink, Dianthus plumarius,
possessing much of the delightful Glove
fragrance of the species, combined
with beauty of color and varied mark
ings of the Chinese pink. We can
well remember when the diadem-fOw
cred strain of Heddewig's pink was
introduced, considerably more than so
years ago. The price was 10 cents the
packet, containing scarcely 20 seeds.
They were all but una attainable at the
time, but packet was finally securel,
which, it is needless to say, was grown
with extraordinary care. The lovely
shades and markings were a revelation
of beauty that has since never palled,
though the strain quickly became cheap
and common, as it is an excellent seed
er. Here we have these marvellous
cOlOrings transferred to the long-lived
Scotch pink and enriched with its ap-
pealing fragrance. These sweet-scent-
ed diadem pinks bloom freely the first
year from seed, if started as early rs
March, and form beautiful tufts, grow
ing larger and more f1Oriferous for
several seasons. Seeds cost % cents
the packet, and are easily grown.

LITTLEFIELD REELECTED
Despite Bitter Opposition the Con
gressman From the Second
District Gets 1000 Majority

Portland, Me-, Sept l0.-Governor
William r. Cobb, of Rockland. repub-
hcan, standing on a platform de-
voted almost exclusively to the con-
tinuance of the prohibitory law Of
the state, was reelected today by a
plurality of less than 5000, with but
few exceptions, the smallest margin
of votes ever given a republican gov
ernor in the state Of Maine.
Cyrus W. Davis, Of Waterville,
democratic candidate for governor,
polled one of the largest votes in
the history of the party in this state,
His issue in the campaign was re-
submission of the liquor question,
which was incorporated in the con-
stitution four years ago. More in
teresting from a certain stand point
was the reelection of Congressman
Charles Il. Littlefeld, republican,
from the Second district, by a greatly
reduced plurality.
Littlefeld's candidacy was the sub
ject of bitter opposition on the part
of Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
asked for his defeat on the grounds
that he had voted against certain la
Dor measures at the last session of
congress.
The issue between Gompers and
Littlefeld was taken up by the re-
publican congressional commit
tee and for three weeks the district
has been the scene of hard fight in
which Secretary of War William II.
Taft, Senator Lodge, Senator Bever-
idge and several congressman were
pitted against the head of the Fed
Grafton of Labor.

ed tonight at about 1000 Congress

THE ISLAND GOVERNMENT
WANTED PALMA TO QUIT
Insurrectionists Had the Nerve to
Ask Him to Quit Fat Job
Like the Presidency.

Havana, Cuba, Sept. lO.-For a
while this evening the prospect for
peace looked decidedly more hope
full. This condition was the result of
the arrival here of one of the peace
commissions which had visited the
insurgent leader, Pine Geurra, in the
pinar Del Rio province, with the
news that Guerra had informally con-
sented to the suspension of hostilities
pending negotiations.
Clouds which apperaed to be break
ing with announcement of this news
gathered again within an hour when
it became known that at a special
meeting of the cabinet this evening,
which was attended by President
Palma, Vice-President Mendez Ca
pote and all the members of the min
istry. it had been decided to declare
all peace projects off. 1t was agreed
at this meeting that the government
could not consider the propositions
of the liberals, the main features of
which are that President Palma shall
resign and that the vice president
and members of cabinet shall do like
wise or that a new and general elec-
tion shall be held. Immediately after
close of cabinet meeting Vice-presi-
dent Mpndpz Capotp declared that
the government never would consent
to such terms, but that 1t would fight
to the end. Members of the veterans
peace commission, when informed of
cabinets action, expressed great dis
annointment and said they would
hold meeting tonight or tomorrow
and that if nothing was agreed upon
then they would give up their efforts.

death of Mile. Semenova, a girl of
% ars,and a young and enthusias-
tic social Democrat who was shot and
killed instantly by sentry when
she showed herself at the window Of
her cell overlooking the court yard.
Furious prisoners expelled warders,
barricaded the prison and laid the
corpse of Mile. Semenova on an i'm
promptu bier in a central cell, re-
fusing to deliver it to authorities and
swearing that they would rather die
than surrender it. Troops were sum-
moned, but the authorities fearing
blood-shed temporized and sent for
a brother of Mile. Semenova, to
whom the insurgents delivered her
body.
Grand Duke Nicholas, after an in
vestigation of the affair, personally
ordered the dismissal of the officer of
guard which was drawn from an un-
popular Semenovsky regiment.
Mile. Semenova was medical stu
dent and was seeking to divide with
the prisoners some sugar which she
had surreptitously obtained when she

the candidacy Of Ashton c. Shelton
berger, fusion nominee for governor,
Bryan said;
He is not only in favor of the

railroads before ! did" "
Bryan continued: "We are enter
ing upon a great fight for the exter-
mination of the trusts and for pro-
lection of the public from eXploita-
tion at the hands of the railroads.
The republican party has shown its
inability to deal effectively with these
and kindred subjects. Wherever the
president has attempted to do any
thing, he has been compelled to fol-
low the democratic rather than the
republican platform, and the republi-
cans in the house and senate have
not supported him. The republican
senate emasculated his rate bill and
the republican congress opposed his
meat inspection bill.
"The best way to stand by the
president is to elect a democratic
congress, for the democrats have
stood by him better than the repub-
licans on the most important ques-
tions."
