Governor Hoke Smith.

We met last Tuesday prominent attorney
of Atlanta, who is bitterly opposed to the candi-
dacy of Hon Hoke Smith. He is spending the
week in South Georgia and expressed a keen in
terest in the gubernatorial race. He does not
favor Clark Howell and says candidate Howell
dost not stand ghost of show. After discus

Mr.. Smiths unprecedented hold on the people,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in elegant 1anguage-but
acknowledge frankly that he was bound to be
nominated at the primary, that he had already
more than sufficient strength and that he
was gaining every day. With evident dis
pleasure he said that it looked like it would be
governor Hoke Smith.

Desirable Shrubs.

In the Florists Exchange, Mr..
Joseph Meehan describes several
shrubs which would be desirable ad
dition to the list of Towering and or
namental shrubs for cultivation in
Florida The common Elder is an
evergreen and almost everbloomlng
shrub in this state. We consider it
highly ornamental, and the golden
leaved variety would no doubt be
much more beautiful.
The Lycium Chinese, called Matri-
mony-vine at the North, is almost un-
known here, though it is cultivated to
some extent in Louisiana.
The Spirea Anthony Waterer, has
been planted occasionally in this state,
but is not so common as it's great
merit deserves.
Sambucus Aurea- Golden-Leaved
Elder Golden-leaved trees and shrubs
are Of much use to planters. Of late
years there is more display made on
grounds by the massing of trees or
shrubs together This is done with
shrubs to a great extent; in the case
of some for their flowers, with others
for their ornamental fruit; or, as in the
case of the golden elder, for their beat
tiful foliage.
The leaves of the golden elder, Sam
bucus aurea, are very large. They
change from their deepest yellow color
to a lighter shade as the Summer de-
clines, but there is no time when they
are not of good yellow color.
This golden-leaved elder is variety
of the Sambucus nigra, a European

Altheas.

Under this name a species Of hardy
Towering shrub is quite common in
the Northern states, and should be
grown in Florida much more frequent
ly than it is. Years ago we used to
hear it called Rose Of Sharon" but
had entirely forgotten the fact until
we found it described under that name
in the Rural New Yorker
1t seems that the name Althea is not
its true botanical name, which is Hi
discus Syriacus However they have
been called Altheas so long that they
are likely to be known as such to the
end of time
They are not nearly so popular in
this state as they deserve. Although
there is not so great a range OF varied
coloring as in the Chinese Hibiscus,
yet there are many shades OF color and
as they are entirely hardy they can be

ithaca frutex, but it is now likely to be
discarded The plant is so widely dis
seminated in cultivation that it's origin
is lost, but it is supposed to be native
rather to China than Syria. AS there
are other Oriental and tropical shrub
berry species Of Hibiscus Of great beau
ty it is evident that Rose Of Sharon is
the best name popularity to distinguish
this hardy and desirable shrub. There
is really nothing better for ornamental
hedges where close clipping is not de-
sirable and reasonable height is not
objected to. While approaching good
soil it may be planted anywhere in
sun or partial shade. The habit is so
good that pruning is only needed at
long intervals. No insects appear to
trouble it, nor is it subject to disease
OF any kind. The foliage is at all
times attractive, but is particularly
glossy after rains. The large and con-
oplSUOu0 1lOWSlO, OO4hS 81 IdlS Ill LIN
season, and the numerous seed pods
that follow, give it most distinctive
character. Seedlings are often used
for hedges, and if a good proportion
Of white and light-colored forms is Sc
cured they give good satisfaction If
uniform effect seems desirable the
single pure white variety, Totus albus,
is one of the best. In general the pur-
pie and dark varieties should be avoid
ed, as the tints lack clearness. There
are some good red and violet kinds,
and one pretty fesh-colored double
variety with handsomely cut or lacini-
ated foliage, known as Leopoldii fore
pleno. The past rainy summer suited
the Rose of Sharon very we'll. The
plants were remarkably fresh and love-
ly throughout the whole growing sea-
son. There is likely to be revival OF
interest in this most worthy shrub, es-
peclally among those who are growing

ly keep fair stocks and offer named
and new kinds at from 25 to so cents
each. Seedlings and mixed lots for
hedging may often be had at very
moderate prices. Few shrubs Grams

Two Handsome Cupheas.

Cupheas have been very much ne
elected in Florida The old species c..
ignea, formerly c. platycentra, was
quite common as a house plant at the
North c. micropetala, usually called
C. eminens, is grown to some extent
in Florida, having been found to be
sufficiently hardy to stand our winters
as an herbaceous perenniel, though it
is really shrubby perennial if not
killed by cold. Possibly the other spe-
cies may prove capable of being treat
ed in the same way, the roots living
over winter with little protection to
the roots by covering.
Parks Floral Magazine gives brief
description Of two desirable species.
The one called c. tricolor is not known
by that name to botanists, probably c.
L1avea is the one referred to by that
name.
Two species of Cuphea Of superior
beauty and Of easy culture are c..
p1atycentra Ggnea) and c.. tricolor.
THs former is comparatively an old
plant, having been introduced from
Mexico in 1916. 1t is of a semi shrub
by nature, and will grow a foot high,
forming dense, globular plant cover
ed almost continuously with it's rich
scarlet bloom, tipped with black and
white as indicated in the sketch. Bed
ded out in a sunny place it grows and
blooms amazingly in summer, and
when grown in pots it blooms we'll in
the window in winter. The plant has
red stems, and bronzy green leaves. 1t
is valuable in any collection.
A fine species Of recent introduction
is Cuphea tricolor. It grows rapidly,
the stems being soft, and green in
color At the leaf-axils the large,
snowy flowers appear, developing reg
ularly as the stems develop, and at
tracing special attention on account Of
TIE IlCn Due, scarlet ana DIOWH COlO1S
which they strikingly display. This
species also does we'll either potted or
bedded
Both Of these Cupheas are easily
propagated from cuttings, and will
thrive in rich, porous, welldrained soil,
freely watered and in sunny expos
ure. They are among the desirable
exotic plants for window or garden
collection, being free from insect pests,
and generally satisfactory in growth
and bloom.

any tear OF winter killing.
The Rural New Yorker gives the
following account Of them:
The Best Late Blooming Shrub
Notwithstanding the immense popular
|lty OF the large panlcled Hydrangea,
liz asked to name the most desirable
late blooming hardy shrub, we should
unhesitatingly recommend the Rose of
Sharon, Hibiscus Syriacus, as it may
be had in great variety OF color, and
will grow and bloom we'll under the
most ordinary conditions. The very
distinct and snowy Hydrangea panicu
lata affords us only white blooms, and
appearance is to be maintained. There
is room for both in every farm door
yard, and while the Rose Of Sharon
is an old favorite there are charming
new varieties that we'll merit attention.
One OF the really good new kinds is
catalogued as Crested Beauty, and is
characteristic of a superior type OF
double lowered varieties, having the
supernumerary petals arranged in
crested forms in the middle of the
bloom. Crested Beauty is good
grower and a very profuse bloomer,
even when quite small. The large
flowers are pure white with rich Grim
son ''eye" or base and snow white
crest 1t blooms throughout August
and September, and being quite sterile
lis not exhausted by profuse Towering
like varieties that seed freely. There is
a companion variety, soft pink with
pink crest and crimson eye. It is
merltorlous, but not as snowy as Crest
ed Beauty
The Pure White Jeanne dare is an
other meritorious novelty, not too we'll
known, though in commerce nearly 10
years. It forms a compact, rather
dwarf shrub, covered, in season, with
a long succession Of snow-white double
blooms, quite full and rounded like
miniature double hollyhocks. Coming
at season when durable white flow
ers are particularly scarce, they have
value for florists design work, and
were readily bought for such. purposes
the past season, netting the grower
% cents the hundred. AS this va
rlety is particularly horiferous it is not
without possibilities of profit when
grown for this purpose.
