flowers Juanita is a new bronze
leaved Gamma, of rich chrome yellow
with flesh pink throat"
Now we come to a batch of seed
lings; one has foliage almost as dark
as that of Black Beauty; it is OF me-
dunn height, with pink flowers. DO
YOU like the color of this fOliageT
Yes Mr.. Winter said, my ambi-
ton is to breed along this line, prOduc-
ing foliage on the Black Beauty type
with large, bright segments. The
drawback has been the difficulty In
obtaining true Black Beauty. 1 have
some now, obtained after many trials,
and intend to keep it pure.
Among the seedlings are many eros
ses of Mount Blanc and several OF
these look promising. No. LOSS has
a pink flower with cream edge, and
grows four feet in height. David
Harum, another good dwarf variety,
has bright vermilliOn flowers; but, as
MIR. Winter said, we must try to do
better; there is too long lapse be-
tween flowers The Gamma of the
future must be a perpetual blOOmer.
Triumph is a dwarf, with notified
scarlet flowers. Buttercup, a cream
flower, with green foliage. California,
an Odd-lOOking variety, but Mr.. Whit
ger says it has a place in every col
lection of cannaS. 1t has green foliage
and orange salmon flowers. In a mass
it is effective. Gladiator is variety
worthy of being kept in remembrance

large, the effect produced is grand; es-
pecially as an edging around bed.

Niagara, dwarf, very strong, red flow

Beauty, tiesh-cOlor, with dark foliage.
ChautauQua is a light scarlet-a very
desirable variety.
Does not this hot sun shorten the
towering period of cannas? was ask
ed. No. said Mr.. Winter; these
cannas have new flowers every morn
ing l have watched them closely;
the flowers do not open during the day,
but you find new ones every morning."
The Shrubbery.-In going from one
Gamma field to another we pass thou
sands of plants of young shrubbery-
Hydrangea paniculata, $4,000 in one
batch, = and One-half feet high, now in
full bloom; Viburnum plicatum,
very large batch; then a large lot of
platycodon in full flower. Also large
blocks of spiraeas, berberis, althaeas,
loniceras, etc. Speaking of the prOpa
CATION of this stock, Mr.. Winter said
that in spite of what some might say,
the propagation of shrubbery and nur-
sery stock has not advanced in the
past five years.

interesting place without taking look
at the roses. Here are 30 odd houses
filled with healthy, growing plants,
all planted out in benches for stock.
These plants are prOpagated from two
year-old field grown stock, the aim be-
ing to maintain. vitality in the young
roses. Mr. Winter said that in this
way he was able to build up a rose.
He had clearly demonstrated this in
the case of Perle DIES Jardins, and in
another year would have this stock
as strong as it ever was. Another
strong point, he does not approve of
chopping down a plant when taking
cuttings; rather go over the benches
three or four times, and thin out the
plants; say, take out two shoots at
time and leave the remainder, so

Cannas and Other Plants at West
Grove, Pa.

GrOVe, ia.
A correspondent of the Florists Elk
change has been visiting an establish
ment at West Grove, Pa, and gives
an account of what he saw. We copy
it that you may see what is being
done in new Cannas and Roses. 1t
also gives an insight into florists
methods.
The Company establish
ment is worth going miles to see just
now. The work of the past two
years among cannaS has been to get
ark-leaved varieties, with large flow
ers. Some of the seedlings look very
promising. This season there are over
| $4,000 plants in the field. The firm
catalogues 65 varieties; i'm addition to
these there are about 30 sorts under
probation.
A wonderful Improvement is noticed
here in the second generation of the
Orchid-fOwered cannas; all these are
stronger plants, with better foliage and
flowers than the old varieties. Among
these new kinds we notice Uncle Sam,
a large scarlet flower with orange
throat; Wyoming, dark foliage, orange
flower; Louisiana, an exceptionally
good one, having bright green foliage
with brilliant red flowers. Another
feature of these new cannas is, they
flower earlier than the old sorts.
Now we come to row of Gamma
Maidens Blush, a pink of delicate
| shade, but not a desirable flower.
This, Mr. Winter said, he raised from
seed ten years ago, and ever since that
time he has been working to obtain
the same shade of pink i'm more de-
sirable and larger flower. This year
his persistent work has been rewar-
ded; he has obtained the desired result
from cross of the nearly white
Mount Blanc and West Grove. Black
Warrior, the dwarfest of all cannaS,
has flowers of deep maroon; very
interesting plant. Chameleon, new
one, having the popularity of changing
its color, which at first is rich golden
orange, Overlaid with stripes of Indian
red, later turning to self yellow and
rose pink The foliage is green.
What cOlors are most i'm demand?''
was asked Mr. Winter. Red and
yellow was his answer, because the
public have been more educated to
these. We have other shades of Amer
lean origin that are just as desirable
and will be in demand as the people
get acquainted with them. Here is
Martha Washington, a dwarf pink;
and here is the best all round Gamma
yet introduced, Brandywine. We sent
it out in 1904. 1t has dark foliage
with bright scarlet flowers and is

Good Night to the Flowers.
W. c. STEELE,

Good Night to the Flowers.
O where are the flowers, the beautiful
flowers,
That answered so quickly the call of
the showers,
That smiled with the sunbeam and
wept with the dew,
And danced with each dallying
zephyr that blew!
While scattering perfume so lavish
and free,
Gave food to the hummingbird-
sweets to the bee?
| look on the garden where erstwhile
they blOOmed,
And shedding their fragrance the
breezes perfumed.
| see them not there, who hath lured
them away, . ..
And hidden their lOvelinesS from me,
pray?
Dame Nature is speaking. List!
What does she say?
Il have hidden your darlings from
sorrow away.
The long day of Summer was faded
and gone.
The years evening twilight was fast
coming on,
The twilight was here, the night flown
apace.
o what could they do with no warm
dwelling place?
So | found for your darlings a cosy
retreat,
Securely protected from tempest and
Sleet
My servant, Jack Frost, has for eacL
built Il home
OF the purest of crystal, from base
ment to dome,
Evehy pinnacle, turret and translucent
Spire
In sunlight is cleaning like opaline
fire.
There I've gathered them safely to
Mother Earth's breast,
She has cuddled and fOndled and
sOOthed them to rest.
In dreams they are wandering through
Fairyland green,
With the Fairies they dance-hail
with homage their queen,
Yet they'll hear the first call of the
unfettered brook,
And meet the first robin in each sun
ny nook.
They will come when the soft pussies
cover the willow,
And dot the brown earth with their
red, blue and yellow.
Dame Nature thus SOOthingly speaks
to my heart,
Bids it sorrow to ceaSe-itS doubts
to depart,
L will mourn them no more, for |
know it is well
With my pets. In their winter home
safely they dwell,
No more will | weep. Little darlings,
goodnight!
Sleep sweetly till Springtime shall
bring you the light.

 There is a rsaSou for disappointment that the president is not more emphatic iu his recommendation as to Alaska. It was hoped that 8 president of the sturdy democratic Americanism of President Roosevelt would recognize and condemn in an ourSpoken way con- ditions under which 6O0O0 white American cjtizensot the finest type are deprived of every vestige of self government; aud that be would have recommended the immediate establish ment in Alaska at least of such terri torial governments as were granted to small isolated groups of pioneer b ok wOodsmen seventy-6ge and eighty v ars ago iu what are HOW eastern states.

 Frank Brayton was one of those char acters that In the wild and woolly west are considered semlrespectable. but in the east soon land in state prison. It Ia A question whether the western man who lives by bis wits, his cards and his revolver is painted better or the east ern man who lives by his jimmy, his drills and his niToglycerin is painted worse than the originals. Be this as lt may, Braytou was pretty bad. He never came up before Judge Lynch, for he was not a horse stealer or common murderer, yet he had taken many peoples money as card sharper and killed many more in disputes.
 One evening Brayton, who had at the time come to be a middle aged man, rode Into hamlet in South Dakota anL noticed a young girl standing In the door of q cabin. There was something ln her face that arrested his attention, something that reminded him of the wife be had loved twenty years before, when he was an honest and industrious young man, and whom he had later de- serted. Though a hardened sinner, a pang shot through him as a ray of sun light will penetrate some dark and musty corner, and a desire came to him, a desire that vaguely united his wife with this girl Could he through the one atone for his cruelty to the other?

This brings out the interesting fact
that BY reason OF the circumstances un-

though In Nermcnt'S casr independence

Prior to the Revolutions both New
York and New Hampshire laid claim to
the, territory now comprising the State
Iof Vermont. In 1871, however, The
Green Mountain boys declared Vermont
nm independent State, and framing a
constitution. asked admission into the

upheld Vermont In this action, and in
