The Florida agriculturist., 1907-08-07

a letter from friend engaged in the
nursery business in Florida. He had
read the article and, although he had
raised Cal1as for years, he had never
realized that their roots possessed
such high economic value. He de-
termined to dig up some Of his plants,
which had bloomed, and have their
roots cooked up for Sunday feast
He also invited a friend to dinner
and told him of the prospective treat
The cook was instructed how to pre-
pare the dish AS she brought it in
steaming hot, it was noted that her
mouth bore a peculiar pucker. The
de1icacy was placed upon the table
and both friends fell to, partaklng
simultaneously of Gala root. But
both simultaneously gave great gasps,
emitting the ~"delicacy' as though it
we're molten lead, and made dash
for the water pitcher. The Gala is
one of the most acrid and caustic of
roots-try biting small piece of the
leaf ometime-impossible for use as
a food And so no further news
paper articles appeared reporting the
results Of the Government expert
ments with the Gala lily as an econo-
mic food

Climbers for the Porch.

Have any Of Our readers had any
success with the large lowered vari-
eties Of Clematis, that is, Jackmanni,
etc? The small lowered species, such
as c. paniculata, C.. Virginia, etc., with
small white flowers in dense clusters,
and c. reticulata, c. cocinnea, etc.,
with somewhat large though still small
blossoms, do thrive exceedingly we'll,
but we do not remember to have ever
seen or heard of any Of the large
lowered species blooming in this
state.
We have found an article, in the
Rural New Yorker, recommending
the Clematis. We feel sure that they
are worth testing. The Rural article
is as follows:
There is no cheaper, easier and
prettier way to decorate the exterior
Of a house than to have a variety Of
climbing vines around the porch. They
not only provide a beautiful screen,
with the green of the leaves painted
by flowers of varying hue, but ex-
clude the hot sun and enable one to
enjoy an easy chair in the open air
when otherwise the suns hot rays
would render it impossible The OBJ
lection is sometimes heard that veg
citation rots the woodwork which it
shades, but this damage, if any, is
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-08-07

not worth mentioning and only calls
for an occasional extra coat OF paint.
Of all the climbers the family of Gle
mats are the most refined and deli
cate in their growth and beauty OF
flower. They are true aristOcrats
among the climbers, but on account,
perhaps, of their usually high price
and the more than usual care some
times required to start them, they are
not seen as often as could be desired.
The purple Jackmanni is the best
known, and is we'll distributed, but
there are several other meritorious
varieties that are seldom seen. Ma
dame Andre is crimson variety that
[ prize very much. 1t is a constant
and prOfuse bloomer, and has only
one defect, and that is its dwarhsh
growth. After three years it is only
a little over four feet high. Instead
Of few separate vines that grow
several feet in a season, it forms
rather a mass of short vines that ex-
pend all their strength in blooming.
It's flowers are large, about 4 inches
in diameter, but never attain the size
of the full-grown Jackmanni Oc-
casionally there are situations where
a dwarhsh grower would be prefer
red, and there Madame Andre would
give perfect satisfaction. A third va
riety that is blooming this summer
for the first time is the white Henryi,
and I am very much pleased with
it. It is as rapid grower as the
Jackmanni and is also perfectly hardy
so far as tried. 1t begins to bloom
early, and it's flowers are immense
in size. They seem to continue to
grow after they open, until they at
tain a diameter Of full six inches.
This is no guesswork, but I actually
laid the rule across several of the
blossoms. They are fine, creamy
white. Henryi appears to be fully
equal to Jackmanni in every desirable
quality and may surpass it in vigor
Of growth.

A Monster Flower.

Under this title we find an item
in the Palm Beach News, about which
we are very doubtful. There is a
very large flower which has the name
of Raflesia, but it is our impression
that it is a native Of Africa, not of
the Philippines. We do not happen
to be able to-day to place Our hands
on a description of the plant. How
ever, we give the item as printed.
You must take it for what it is worth:
Can you imagine blossom as large
as a carriage wheel? Of the island
Of Mindano, one of the Philippine
group, was found by some explorers
such flower. Far up on the noun
tain of Parag, 1000 feet above the
sea level, some explorers were wan
dering when they came across great
buds, larger than a cabbage head.
Greatly astonished, they searched
farther and presently discovered a
full grown blossom, five petaled and
three feet in diameter. It was carried
on low lying, luxuriant vines. The
natives call it bolo. It was found
impossible to preserve it fresh, so they
photographed it and kept several pez
tails to press, and by improvised scales
found that a single flower weighed
twenty-five pounds. 1t was afterward
found to be species of rafflesia,
first found in Sumatra and named
after Sir Stamford Rafles. The new
flower was called Rafflesia shaden-

"reminiscences of the Roses.

Editor Floral Department.
Something like thirty-tlve years ago
I had my attention called to the sub
ject of budding choice roses on the
Manetti stock Judge Means, one Of
the pioneer settlers of Marion county,
found the Manetti growing near Lake
City. Being an enthusiastic amateur
rosarian, he experimental with it as
a stock, showing me the method Of
budding the fine roses into 1t. He
was informed that it was brought
from Italy BY an Italian Of that name.
Signor Manetti did a good thing for
the rose growers Of Florida when he
brought us this rose. It has SO many
points of excellence being entirely
clear Of insect enemies, strong, rapid
grower, and standing the extremes
of wet and dry seasons, SO fatal to
Northern grown roses. l know from
thirty-five years experience that it
is an ideal budding stock for use in
Florida. The severe drought Of the
past year has killed nearly every rose
| have except those budded on Ma
netti stock.
After the rainy season began, about
a month ago, l commenced budding
some old Manetti bushes, putting sew
eral varieties into one bush, thus max
ing tree roses. About one half the
buds have taken, some Of the buds
are two feet long, and will soon be
in bloom. It looks like magic to
convert a non-blooming rose into a
thing OF beauty, and so quickly, too;
much sooner than you can grow a
rose bush from cutting. The strong,
we'll established roots Of the stock
rose push the new rose into rapid
growth. You can almost see the
buds grow. Care must be taken to
rub off the sprouts of the stock rose,
and give the new rose chance.
At my old home in Marion county
we had fine hammock soil, with clay
mixed, to grow roses. My memory
reverts to the grand old roses La
Marque, Safrano and Marshal Neil,
all budded on this same stock, climb
ing to the second story veranda; some
Of them clambered to the tops of old
orange trees, making lovely contrast
to the snowy bloom or golden fruit,
for these old roses bloomed all the
year.
Yet, even in this poor sand of South
Florida fair results may be obtained.
Make compost of clay, stable man
ure and sand, equal parts, plant large
stock cuttings, leaving out only two
or three eyes. They will all grow
il kept wet When the rains begin
next summer, do the budding. Shade
the newly inserted buds from the hot
sun; give them constant attention, and
you will soon have some good rose
bushes that will stand the climate.

tanned an interesting article telling
how it was reported that Gala bulbs
were good for food. The bulbs from
which the story started, Taro, are
known in cultivation generally as
Caladium, though the true botanical
name is Colocasia. 1t used to be
grown, to some extent, in the South
ern states under the name Of Tanyah.
The Home Journal article is as fol-
lows:
How the roots of a Gala lily were
eaten by at least two men under the
supposition that they were palatable
and nutritious, like a potato, is an
interesting little story, illustrative OF
the reason why everything which ap-
pears in the newspapers should not
be implicitly believed. Some years
ago a Washington newspaper writer
was wandering about the office OF the
Department of Agriculture, looking
for a "story" He happened upon
some queer looking roots. ''What
are these?" he asked
They are the roots of the tarO," !"
was the reply, (which the Govern

And what is taro?" he asked. "Oh,

ooh yes, | know the Gala lily.
Well, what are you going to do with
these roots, send them out, you say,
for trial as a root crop? That is in

ing"
"Excellent! replied the root scien-
tist; IF I had some extra roots I
would let you take them home and
have them cooked. They are some
thing like the potato"
Shortly afterwards there appeared
an article in several Sunday papers
bearing the startling headlines that
Uncle Sam was about to send Gala
lilies all over the country to take the
place of potatoes with the farmers.
and while generally known only as
an ornamental plant, the Gala root
was highly nutritious and equally
toothsome. The article gave general
directions for preparing and cooking
the new agricultural product. The
root scientist shuddered as he recog-
nized his interview, SO badly twisted,
but breathed sigh of profound relief
when he observed that no reference
had been made to himself.
And SO the country learned about
the edible qualities of the Gala lily.
OF course, not everybody could afford
the delicacy, as up to that time the
lily had been grown only for its flow
ers; but there were some personal
tests made of it's edible qualities.
Shortly after the printing of the arti-
Gle, the scientist mentioned received
