Plant Canphor Trees.

A correspondent of the New Smyrna
Breeze advises the planting Of cant
phor trees as ornamental trees. We
certainly endorse the idea We have
repeatedly recommended it for this pur-
pose. We do not know Of any tree, out
side Of the magnolias, which is SO
ornamental or so we'll calculated to
add to the adornment of any grounds.
Speaking Of the camphor tree, I
would especially urge all lovers Of
beautiful homes to plant camphor
trees; and plant them p1entifu1ly either
for hedges or singly for shade trees.
They adapt themselves to nearly all
soils, and can be trimmed into any

Acalyphas.
Department.:

Editor Floral Department:
[ frequently see the question asked
by readers in our state journals, what
ornamental plants grow best and are
worth the planting. This question
worried me for long time, until expo
rience, much observation, and proving
on the highway, and into byways, gave
me the information [ wanted.
l could name a great number now,
which are worthy all the time and at
tention you can bestow on them, but in
this article I shall write Of but one
class of plants, and then find [ shall
not begin to tell all that might be told
about them. I shall confne myself to
the varieties which [ grow, and not
include others that may be. found in
catalogues and cyclopedias.
The name of this shrub is Acalypha,
and it belongs to the family Of Euphor-
biaceae, although you would not sus-
pect it, even if you were familiar with
this family. admire my Acalyphas as
much as most people do their finest
Towering shrubs. The latter have usu-
ally but one or at most, two periods in
a year, for blooming, and after that
present a very ordinary appearance,
but the Acalypha is "a thing Of beauty
and Joy forever" unless Jack Frost
gets in some of his work, and though
we have had a temperature as low as
28 degrees above zero, and that for
several hours at a stretch, that burst
our water-pipes, they always stood the
shock in a most admirable manner.
The leaves all dropped, but [ usually
cut back the branches for a foot or
more, and in months time, they were
loveler than ever. believe that the
loss of the leaves and the short period
Of rest, following, is positive benefit
to any tree or shrub, and this coming
winter I am going to try the expert
ment of making one Of my orange trees
shed it's leaves, just to note the result.
Remember this fact always, that the
better nourished a shrub or tree is,
the better it stands the vicissitudes Of
plant life, in the form Of frost, flood, or
drouth.
| shall use Reasoner's catalogue for
naming the varieties in my grounds,
for l bought all Of them from him, as
| find that no two dealers agree in
naming the different species.
"Musa1ca is great beauty, seven
feet high, in a well-rounded symmetrl-
cal form, five or six feet through, and
clothed to the very ground with leaves
that measured five by seven inches,
twisted and crimped in very odd and
charming manner. The coloring is al
most indescribable, being SO blotched
and mottled with green, white, and
shades of red, and orange. No two are
exactly alike.
The next variety, which closely rivals
the first, is 'tricolor." The shrub in
my yard is ten feet high, and seven
feet through. The leaves measure 6x8
inches, not being twisted, and standing
out from the branches in a very stiff

RUFFIAN KILLS GIRL.
Mystery Surrounds Attack in New
York by Man.

Amelia Charlotte Staffeldt. 15-year-
old girl, was shockingly attacked and
killed with a kIife in a field at Elmhurst
III Queens borodgh. New York. Borough
Inspector Flood personally has charge
OF the case and he has admitted that his
detective staff had nothing to show for
it's efforts. Every detail of the crime
has been gone over carefully, he explain
ed. and no love affairs of the girl, which
might possibly have led to the crime,
has come to light. Information gained
from an employing carpenter perhaps may
lead to something tangible. This car
penter told the police that he paid off
twenty men the day of the murder, who
had worked near Elmhurst for two
months past. Several of the men had
been drinking and at noon they started
for Manhattan. On in particular is said
70 have taken short cut across the old
farm in field of which Miss Staffeldt's
corpse was found. Several of Inspector
Floods detectives think the crime was
committed by an insane man. owing TO
the many revolving phases. Joseph En-
gle. farm hand. who saw man running
across the farm shortly before he found
the girls mutilated corpse. says that the
mans eyes wore a crazed look which star
tied him. He thinks that the man was a
foreigner. Adam Hummel. who was work
ing with Engle, also believes from his
cursory sight of the stranger that he was
q foreigner. Engle and Hummel were
able TO give police q fairly good de-
scription of t man they saw.

NEW YORK.

Crop and trade reports are irregular,
but there is slight improvement visible
as a whole. owing TO higher tempera-
lures. Relatively the best reports as to
retail and Wholesale trade come from
the Pacific Northwest. In the central
West, Southwest, Northwest, East and
South the volume of retail trade. is be-
hind a year ago almost without exception.
Foundry pig iron markets are firmer.
Business for 1905 is appearing in various
lines. Within the week $4,000 tons of
malleable Bessemer were sold in Cleve-
land for delivery in the first part of 1908,
the price basis being SD per ton, valley
furnaces. Some southern iron has also
been disposed of for first quarter ship
meii.. the quotation being $3.50 Bir-
mingham. Demand for basic pig for de-
livery in the last half of 1907 is quite
heavy.
