The Apple as an Ornamental Tree.

The Apple as an Ornamental Tree.
The idea of setting out Cor of using
those already out), fruit trees for or
namental purposes is not so common
as it should be. The editor of Green's
Fruit Grower says:
1t SO happened that an acre lot
which | improved six years ago con-
tanned about twenty apple trees. They
were hopeless looking community
mere bramble-tops of sprouts and
dead limbs set upon decayed boles.
But | undertook to do what I could
tor them, gave the sod a shallow
plowing, employed fertilizers, pruned
carefully, painting over the stumps
OF the limbs which were sawed off,
and have since used the shears upon
the sprouts two or three times each
summer. The transformation is en-
tire. They produce large crops of
apples, and there are more pears
than can be used. But it is not as an
orchard that I would speak of it, but
as a park. The lot is regarded as
the handsomest in the suburb, and I
doubt if it has its equal, in a plain
sort OF way, in any village. I notice
strangers, as they pass, pausing to
admire it. There is almost no ex-
pense in caring for it; I do it myself
OF evenings. If those apple trees were
removed, it would depreciate the SELL
ing value of the property very serious
ly. Those old, dying apple trees have
now made it too fine a place for a
printer-man like myse1f-but then
shall have to leave it soon anyway,

Cannas from Seed.

Cannas may be very easily and sat
isfactori1y grown from seeds and
plants grown in this way have all the
stateiness and fine foliage and flower
effects of the named varieties. The
seed requires boiling hot water pour
ed on it and to be allowed to soak for
something over twenty-four hours be-
fore planting.

Snapdragons.

The popularity of the snapdragon
seems to be increasing. 1t is we'll to
note it, for the plant is deserving of
all attention. Snapdragons are really
perennials, but they do best and pro-
duce better results when treated as
ANIMALS. Without doubt they form
grand material for cut flower purpos-
es for their colors are so bright and
varied. They also make most effec-
tive displays in the flower garden.

Abutilon From Seeds.

From the shape of the leaves, these
plants have been frequently called
Towering maple. They will live out
of doors, where there is but little
frost, being, perhaps, a little more
hardy than a lemon tree. They are
easily grown from seed, as will be
seen from the following from Parks
Floral Magazine:
It is not generally known that the
Abutilon is easily propagated from
seeds, and the plants are thrifty and
free-blooming. The new dwarf or
compact varieties are especially val
liable to propagate in this way, as
they bloom early, and are not so Wig
orous in growth as the older varie-
ties. A lady of Illinois has been CIV
ing some attention to this work, and
is delighted with her success. She
writes.
Mr.. Editor:-I want to tell you
about my plants of Compact Abutilon
raised from a packet of seeds costing
but three cents. I sowed the seeds
in May and raised six plants. One is
six inches high, and the first blossom
appeared yesterday-a golden yellow,
veined with red The little plant is
full Of buds. I counted twenty on it
this morning. When the plants are
all in bloom | shall have fine display
Of flowers.
Abutilon seeds are as large as those
Of the garden Balsam, and as easily
started, though not quite SO prompt
The young plants naturally assume
bushy form when given free access
to light, and when they begin to
bloom they remain in bloom for sew
eral months. For winter blooming
sow the seeds in the spring, and shift
the plants as they grow until they
occupy five inch pots, in which they
may be allowed to bloom. They will
bloom more freely as the roots begin
to crowd in the pot. See that drain
age is good, and water as needed.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-03-06

The seed was planted about three
years ago, and the bushes are now
about two and one-half feet high, in
foliage. The picking is to be done by
negroes, the only help available, and
the expert in charge, Mr.. Clark, be-
lieves that they can be trained to do
the work as we'll as they pick cot
ton.

Zephyranthes Rosea.

in Florida gardens, but is by no means
SO common as it deserves to be-
According to the Cyclopedia of
American Horticulture, this is not
I. rosea but Z. Carniata, but the
name L. rosea has become so familiar
that it is likely to remain Z. rosea
to the end of the chapter. A CORES
pondent of Parks Floral Magazine
recommends it very highly, but does
not speak any too strongly AS the
bulbs are prefectly hardy in all parts
Of Florida, they will not need to be
taken up, but may be left in the
ground year after year. They will
be the better for being thinned out
occasionally. Parks Floral Magazine
says:
One Of the dantiest and lovliest of
the summer Towering bulbs which is
all too seldom seen growing in the
open grounds Zephyranthes Ros-
ca, member of the Amaryllis family.
1t is usually and very appropriately
called pink Fairy Lily. You have
never realized it's possibilities for gar
den decoration if you have grown
only few of these bulbs, and those
perhaps in flower pot. Bed them
out, to have the best results with the
least care. The bulbs are as easily
wlntered as the Gladio1i, and in the
same way, dried off in the fall and
kept IN somewhat warm place until
spring. Then plant them out in the
garden as soon as the ground becomes
sufficiently warm, placing them fully
two inches below the surface of the
soil, as they will then get more mois-
ture. Covering the tops does no
harm. When they bloom you will
feel well repaid for the slight trouble
OF bedding and lifting, which is all
the care they will require aside from
being kept free from weeds. The same
bulbs bloom year after year, improv-
ing with age. For bordering flower
beds, | know of nothing really pref
tier, or more desirable than these
bulbs planted in a double row. The
foliage alone makes a neat and pleas
ing edging, even when there are no
lilies. And as they blossom at inter
walls all through the summer, the ef-
feet is very lovely. In fact, I find
that in no way do they show to better
advantage, besides taking up so little
available space, as there always seems
room to tuck in such bulbs outside
of everything else. The flowers are
beautiful, such real rose pink, and
very large in proportion to the size Of
the bulbs-being fully three inches
across, while the largest bulbs I have
even seen of this variety were about
three and one-half inches in circum-
terence. The lilies are admirable for
cutting, as the stems are just long
enough to allow of their being ar
ranged gracefully; and with some
delicate green interming1ed they
make as charming a bouquet as you
could wish. One should be very care
ful never to cut them until the second
day after they first open, else they will
close and not open again.

"CHANGE ROOM" ONCE MORE.
Cripple Creek Mines Will Make An
other Attempt to Prevent
High Grading"

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Dec.
PA special from Cripple Greek to
the Telegraph says:
The change room" in the larger
of the mines of the Cripple Creek
district will again be adopted, the
new rule to go into effect the first day
of January. This decision has been
reached by number of the larger
mines, and it is expected that the sys-
TEN will be placed in effect in all
of the mines where high grade ore
is found. The readoption of the
change room, say mine owners. is
directly due to high grading which
has recently become more pronounc-
ed than ever in the Cripple Creek dis
trict.
The initiative was taken Ey the
Golden Cycle company.
BY the change room" is meant the
compelling of miners to change their
clothes after working their shift in
the mines. BY so doing it will be
impossible for much high grade ore
to be stolen.

Beyond doubt this section is very
lucky to be situated as it is, off the
main line of transcontinental traffic,
if story published in Reno paper
is to be fully credited. Hoboes, ac-
cording to this tale, took possession
of Hazen, New, small town short
distance out of Reno on the Southern
Pacific, and terrorized all of the in
habitants. rendering it unsafe for
them to appear on the streets. The
article in question runs as follows:
According to Fred Smith, San
Francisco Chronicle circulation agent,
who arrived in the city last evening
from Goldfeld, AZ tramps last night
about $50 o'clock raided two eating
houses in Hazen and forced the pro-
prietors Of the places tC give them
their evening meal He also stated
that he was warned by the station
agent at HaZen not to stay in the
town, as the thieves and tramps were
thick, and it would be unsafe for a
man, well dressed and showing signs
of prosperity, to remain there over
night.
Smith had been in Goldfield in the
interest OF his paper, and intended to
stop at Hazen until this morning, and
to then catch a train for Lovelock.
He came on to Reno, however, and

city. last night, tod the story of the

that the agent had informed him
that earlier in the evening AS tramps,
who had been thrown from train,
raided two eating houses at Hazen,
forcing the manager of both places
to feed them, and that they then took
in all the saloons. soliciting drinks.

properties that Ely represents and of
the opportunities there are here.
None of us will be able to overdo
the thing" said Mr.. Binford yester-
day morning. Ely is what | have
been looking for all my life in the
way of a town that has merit in re-
sources to make it get up in the
world in a great big way. 1t is to
certainty going to do that. There
is no way for other result to come
about. Another year will see a uni
versaL change. | think that without
doubt the turning point, with refer
ence to late strenuous times in finan-
cial circles, is close at hand. The
first of the year is likely to see the
