when sown in summer the plants make
a grand show during the cool months
OF autumn. The following note is
from one who had a bed OF this charm
ing flower last year:
Last spring | conceived the notion
of planting couple OF three-cent pack
ages of mixed Portulaca in a bed of
sandy soil that was conferred around a
hardy Towering shrub that stands on
the south side of the house. On the
hot summer mornings it was thing OF
beauty-a carpet of cool, glistening
green, dotted all over with a charming
mixture Of single and double bloom, in
all shades OF red, pink, yellow and
bronze, and many flowers striped and
variegated.
The little plants should stand from
four to six inches apart. They begin
to bloom when quite small, branching
and blooming as they get older, until
the whole bed is mat OF lovely foliage
and flowers. Being of easy culture a
bed of them might we'll be found at
every house where flowers are grown.
They also do we'll in vases or window
boxes; they will endure much neglect,
and grow and bloom even under un-
favorable conditions.

Flowers on the Farm.

Too many farmers are so unitarian
in their ideas that they would rather
see a row of cabbage than a flower bed.
This is largely the fault Of their parents
in their education. Beautify your
homes as much as possible. A few
flower seeds and little time will make
a wonderful difference in the surround
ings Of the home The California
'Cultivator says:
During the past few years the best
thought Of many able men and women
has been given to the conditions Of
the farmer and the status of agricul-
ture. Many movements looking to the
betterment of rural affairs are now in
progress. It is probable that every
one Of them is productive of perma-
nently good results and the combined
effects much be most benefcent
However, the pecuniary side of the
agricultural question has been too
greatly emphasized in these schemes.
1t is, OF course, incontrovertible that
the greatest single problem is that OF
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-04-10

the earning power of the farm; but it
is not all.
Great numbers of farmers earn
enough as it is, but they may not have
the knack OF doing things with the
greatest economy of time and effort,
and consequently farm homes do not
always afford the greatest pleasure
and comfort OF living. Every person
should know the great fact that the
most successful life is the happiest one.
Like or dislike of the farm is often,
and probably generally, formed before
the child is old enough to be great
ly influenced by the proft-and-loss
side of farming. A pleasant and happy
home is the very first means of keep
ing the boy on the farm One means
of making the home attractive is to
brighten the place with flowers.

Portulacas for Beds.

The following from Parks Floral
Magazine is just as applicable to Flori-
da as at the North. Perhaps it is even
more so for our summers are longer
and many Towering plants will not
stand our summer sun.
For sunny bed of sandy soil the
varieties Of single and double Portu1aca
are hardly excelled for snowy ex-
hibition in the bright forenoons of
summer The little, silvery seeds start
readily when sown early, and the pref
ty, succulent, moss-like foliage makes
an admirable background for the rich
colored flowers. When sown in the
spring the plants bloom in summer;

Meehan's Mallow Marvels.

Mr.. Joseph Meehan writes as fol-
lows to the Florida Exchange regard
ing some new hybrid varieties of
hibiscus:
In Meehan's nurseries, Germantown,
Philadelphia, experiments have been
going on for some years looking to the
production of this hibiscus in various
colors other than its natural one,
which is a rose color, the chief idea in
mind being to obtain hardy crimson
lowered one by hybridizing it with the
crimson one of tropical cline. This
idea OF thus improving this flower was
first suggested by the late Thomas
Meehan, and his suggestion interested
one OF his employees, Ernest Hem
ming, and to him is due the credit for
obtaining the beautiful hybrids which
have resulted from the crossing, the
