The Farm Home.

The Rural Californian has some
thing to say about the ornamentation
Of the farm home 1t makes some ex-
travagant claims for the climate of
that state. 1t is true that they do
grow some Towering plants more sue
cessfully than we can, yet it is also
true that we have some which they
cannot grow, so honors are about
even. However, it is quite true, here
as we'll as in California, that home
adornment is very much neglected.
The Californian says
In California the farm home should
be the most ornate, cosy and comfort
able at all seasons of the year of any
to be found on the continent.
With the vegetation of the whole
world to draw upon, with no blighting
frost or shrouding snow to spoil the
rustic beauty Of leaf and blossom, with
palm and banana nodding to each
other when all other sections are ice
bound we may here have floral pro-
cession that marshals it's hosts every
month in the year and gives to us
distinctive beauty impossible to the
less favored states east of the Rockies.
In the city we have death-dealing
gasses, sitting smoke and choking
dusts until it is almost wonder that
in some city sections vegetation will
endure at ALL Add to this the paucity
of water except at a considerable ex-
pense the restricted space for plant
ing, the small amount of sunshine and
pure air possible and we have we'll
nigh discouraged the most robust
plant.
But out in the country how differ
ent. Everything is favorable. All ma
ture conspires to produce the best both
in animal and vegetable life. If one
but chooses wisely when buying plants
he may easily build a garden that will
flourish in our rural districts with an
almost tropical luxuriance. No Gar
den of the Gods" or garden fit for the
gods was ever builded in city. Only
close to the heart Of nature without
too much of mans interference and
arti6ciality is it possible to properly
garden either for profit Or pleasure.

The Camphor Tree in California.

At different times, in the past, we
have recommended the setting of cam
phor trees for ornamental purposes
1t is one of the handsomest of the
broad leaved evergreens that we have
A late number Of the Florists Ex-
change contained letter from a Cali
forn1a correspondent, describing the
camphOr as an ornamental tree in that
state. 1t was accompanied by a cut
showing a tree, said to be about ten
years old, which looks like a half of
an immense ball laid out upon the
ground. 1t shows what this tree can
do when allowed free space untrim-
med. Try it.
est the accounts which have recently
appeared in the various horticultural
journals that come to me, of the eff
forts the United States Department Of
Agriculture is making to determine
whether camphor trees can be sue
cessfully grown in commercial quanti-
ties for the gum they may produce.
It seems strange that the authorities
at Washington have not learned ere
this time that in Southern California
there are trees now growing with
trunks two feet in diameter at the
base. The accompanying photograph
shows ten-year old tree which is
growing in Fullerton; others on the
same avenue are quite as large. But
this is the only one that has not been
trimmed, which shows the great beau
ty of the tree when left to it's own
natural growth.
The camphor tree is not particular
as to soil, growing equally we'll in
light sandy loan or heavy clay, and
does not require as much water for its

and produces much larger blossoms.
It's native home is South Africa.
Sandersonia aurantiaca, also a climb
ing species, has very snowy, nodding
orange-colored flowers. 1t grows about
3 or 4 feet high, and comes from Natal,
South Africa. They all have the same
f1eshy, tooth-like, often forked tubers
as the Gloriosas.
It is to be hoped that in due time
these fine plants of the lily family will
be grown in profusion in all the better

The genus is divided into two sec

color Of which is brownish-red, each
segment having a margin Of colder
yellow.
Gloriosa minor from North Eastern
Equatorial Africa is singular plant
the Towering specimens of which are
only Or 4 inches high.
With regard to the stability Of the
characters, "climbing'' and "dwarf' or
non-climbing," it is very probable
that under certain circumstances the
climbing plants may become dwarf, as
do many climbing plants under cult
walton when the means Of climbing are
lacking By the same rule the non
climbing,I am inclined to think, might
assume a climbing habit if growing in
woody districts, or in places where the
use of the prehensi1e, tendri1-1ike con-
tlnuation Of the leaves would enable
them to rise to a situation more ia
vorable to the production of their flow
ers if crowded by a strong growing
vegetation. All the species, dwarf and
climbing, have in a greater or less de-
gree these tendril-llke combinations
Of the leaves except the very small c..
minor from which perhaps ages Of
existence in open situations, and prob
ably in very shallow soil, have almost
if not entirely eliminated this feature.
There are few plants allied to the
Gloriosas which do very we'll in Flori-

DEATH IN A SAW DUST PILE
Negro Boy i'm a Peculiar and Ho Ff-
bic Way.

Az the Scott Lumber Company's
plant at Marlboro, a very large pile
of saw dust had accumulated, fifty
feet high and covering quite a large
area. Wednesday two small colored
boys were playing on the saw dust
pile; jumping off of the frame of the
saw dust conveyor, Is n OF the boys
leaped on the pile below he noticed
smoke coming up through the saw
dust and told his companion, who
was about to leap. However he made
the leap, falling where the smoke
was coming through. The Saw dust
gave way and the boy wen through
the hole falling forty feet down into
the excavation which had been made
by fire, which had burned the saw
dust. AS soon as an opening was
made and air let in, the entire mass
on the inside became a blaze. The
large saw dust pile had been for a
long time burning and had burned all
the interior of the pile, there being but

fell he went on through tot he bot

AURORA
HOP CROP
IS GOOD
No Price Yet Made and Many Growers
viii Not Pick Until II Is

Aurora, Orr, Aug. 21.--IThe hop
growers in this section are between
the devil and the deep sea this year,
as far as prices for their hops go,
for there are no prices, and the grow
ers have no means of knowing when
price will be made, or what It will
be. In the Aurora, Butteville and
Hubbard districts the hop crop Is as
large. IL not larger, than last year.
The yield is so heavy In many yards
that the hops are breaking down the
wires and pulling down the posts.
The big bulk of the crop will grade
good, but with all these favorable
conditions there are many growers
who say they will not pick a pound
of hops until they see a price In
sight that will insure their coming
out even on the crop, and IL the price
does not warrant their picking they
will plow up their yards and go in
to some other branch of agriculture.
About 80 per cent of the growers
who have decided to pick will pick
by weight instead OF box measure,
! as in former years. Nearly every
grower is in favor of the weight sys-
TEN, but in the past have had to be
governed by the wishes of the pick
ers, but this year the growers think
they can force the pickers TO the
weight system, and are going to use
1t. The growers have had no diff
Guilty in securing all the pickers they
need. Many of the pickers have
worked in the same yards for years,
and the growers depend upon them
each year. Picking will begin in
some OF the early yards the 26th, but
will not become general before Sep
tember I'd Some yards will not be-
gin their harvest before September
9th or 18th. Very few contracts
have been made in the above districts
this year.

appearance in several places. Dur
ing the week prices have remained
firm, several smaller parcels having
sold from 75s. whilst one good-sised
lot changed hands at SOS. The
quantity of hops In the hands OF fac
tors is exceedingly small, and In view
OF the fact that II Is computed that
between 1000 and 1000 acres OF
hops have been grubbed this year,
and that the general crop is certain
to be much below the average, It Is
probable that the demand will very
much more than exceed the supply
