FEAR DAMAGE
TO OYSTER BEDS

The construction of a new light
house three miles North of Ledge
Light. in the Delaware Bay, has
caused much anxiety among the
oystermen who frequent the bay.
The new light IS being placed near
the center of the natural oyster
grounds. and oystermen say that ma
terial for the foundation is belnS
thrown from barges and carried over
the beds by the strong current. They
figure that the damage will amount to
thousands OF dollars.
A caisson that is to form the
foundation for the new lighthouse has
been constructed at the mouth of the
Christiana river and VIII be towed to
the Lodge Light down the bay.

NOTES FROM THE RURAL
GROUNDS.
A "Chop-Suey" Lily.

Under this heading the Rural New
Yorker tells of some experience with
bulb offered at Chinese market
stand, for food. Also gives some
directions for growing Lilies from
seed. This last item, if the directions
were carefully followed, would furnish
some interesting employment for a

result in growing some Lily bulb which
would thrive better in Our soil and
climate than those which are imported
from Northern florists.
1t is we'll known that the Chinese
make free use of lily bulbs as a vege-
table, cooking them in a variety Of
ways. They are seldom offered to for
e1gners, but travellers who have tried
them say lily bulbs as served resemble
onions in flavor, but are INFERIOR
There would appear little necessity for
their use, as the Chinese cultivate an
excellent little onion somewhat like

Breeding Flowers.

Some one writing to the Farmers
Tribune, relates some experience IN
improving Towering plants. Nothing
is said Of saving seed, or growing
seedlings, SO that we may suppose that
none were grown. In that case the
setting Of the tuber or bulb near others
Of the desired color, had no effect,
whatever. Such close proximity might
affect the seed, producing hybrids, but
it would have no effect upon the color
Of the original plant. Care, cultivation
and different soil and fertilizer will
affect the shade Of coloring, and he Or
she may in this way have produced the
desired change. The Tribune item
is as follows:
l have for some years endeavored
to procure a double quilted purple
Gahlia and some four years ago found
among my harlequin dahlias one that
seemed to me would answer the pur-
pose. 1t was separated from other
dahlias Of it's own kind and placed
among the darkest shades procurable.
1t responded magnihcently SO that [
have had for three years a double quill
led purple dahlia in which every quill
is perfect, each one rolling back on the
stem making a perfect ball.
By practically the same method with
gladiolus, by taking a light canary
color and placing it among lighter
colors as far as possible and especially
among those having a tendency toward
green, | now have in my collection a
giadiolus that closely resembles the
calla lily in color, the flower being a
light green on the outside shading
down on the inside from almost a
white to a golden throat
These little experiences are not ex-
pensive and prove highly gratifying
to me as [ think they would to others
who may be willing to take pains to
watch the development of their va
rious flowers and bulbs.

C1ianthus and Novelties.

Editor Floral Department.
In the last issue Of your journal,
Mrs: Avery asks for information re-
garding Clianthus, or Glory Pea. I
Will quote from the Cyc1opedia of Hor-
t1culture, and possibly this information
may help to make success in grow
ing it, and hope she will report later.
"Clianthus Dampieri'' is anything
but easy to grow in the latitude of
Washington. Red spider is its great
est enemy, but too much moisture in
the soil, followed by hot sun, is equal
ly fatal to it. In sandy soil when
the seeds are sown early in spring,
the plants during ordinary summers,
make very fine display. The plants
will not bear transp1anting. Even
when they are grown in pots, it is a
risky piece of work, to shift from
small pots into larger ones"
This information may be of value,

Magnolia G1auca.
/ Department.:

Editor Floral Department:
AS I read Of the Magnolia glauca,
in the Ornamental Department OF the
Florida Agriculturist Of August TWEEN
ty-hrst, my mind reverted to a time
in the long ago, when in a paper that
chanced my way, | read a description
of the Magnolia glauca; [ was SO
charmed with this description Of the
shrub, that longed to possess one.
[ could not find it listed in any Of the
Floral Catalogues that reached me,
and it seemed that Of all my cores
pondents, at that time, not one OF
them was acquainted with it. So [
folded my hands and waited patiently
hoping and trusting that at last |
could get one Many and many time
have wanted certain plants, but l
never wanted anything with the same
intensity that | wanted the "Sweet
Bay" | was certainly charmed beyond
all reason with the writer's description
of it. 1t seems, indeed, that all things
come to the one who waits; now,
did not want all things, my one domi-
nant want was for Magnolia glauca.
Meantime [ had received from a
Southern friend two Magnolias, one of
these was NJ. Fripetela, the other was
simply marked 'Bush Magnolia" l
planted them with little hope of their
growing; or adapting themselves to
the vagaries OF this changeable eli
mate; however, they lived and grew
and urished-hourished in spite Of
severely cold winters, and late spring
frosts, and cold, terrible Aoods-they
grew and hourished; and in time
bloomed in sp1endor, to my supreme
delight
My "Bush Magnolia" answers, I
think, the description of the Chinese
variety, Magnolia Sou1angeana The
flowers are large, cup-shaped and
sweet-scented, the petals are thick, of
deep, dense white within, and of a
brownish-pink, or pinkish- brown out
side. 1t commenced to bloom in the
early spring and blooms continuously
until some time in June, and on and
off through the summer and fall.
There are expanding flowers on the
bush at this present writing, September
10th. Fortunately, had 1ayered several
branches Of this bush which promptly
. rooted.
Now, after this long prelude to my
story, | will tell you that in a recent
number of Parks Floral Magazine"-
Chow dear to Our hearts it's pages are),
| read in the Exchange column, an
offer of Magnolia glauca for M. Pur-
purea, right glad1v 7 avai1ed mvse1f
of the offer. I did not have NJ pur-
purea, but I offered a good rooted
plant Of M. bou1angeana in exchange
for one Of M. glauca My offer was
accepted, [ am happy to say, and now
l am waiting for the fu1f1ment of my
wish. To have the shrub so ardently
desired, is one thing, to plant it and
encourage it to grow is another, and
to wait years for it to bloom-is still
another-Ah, we'll.

The seeds ripen 1ate-many green
capsules are caught by the t1rst hard
frosts-but this matters little, as the
stems may be cut and the seeds slowly
ripened in light room. When the
pods or capsules dry and open the
flat seeds may be shaken out and plant
ed in pots or boxes, sowing them

Of soil surface We use condensed
milk boxes, six inches deep and ap-
proximate1y II by 20 inches in outside
measurement. These boxes are usual
ly strong enough to give two or more

Drainage is effected through nine or
more inch holes bored in bottom. The
holes are partially covered with cin-
derS or broken pots, over which an
inch or two of rotted sods are placed.
Then comes three inches of good rich
garden soil and woods earth coarseIy

of wire netting under the shade Of
trees until hard freezing, when they
are removed to an unheated green
house-any light shed might answer
as well-and stored for the winter,
watering occasionally when the frost
is out or the soil begins to dry. They
must be placed next summer in some
secure place in nearly full sunlight, and
thoroughly watered every day. Many
seeds should germinate by midsummer,
the leaf growth appears quite sparse
and feeble, but many terminating lily
seeds make no leaf growth the first
year. They merely form an under
ground bulb scale or two and wait
another season before sending up
foliage. Beyond careful wedding the
soil in the boxes must not be disturbed
lOr two years, but, when the feeble
first years leaf growth dies down in

Sifted ashes that should be kept moist

occasionally eat stored lily bulbs it is
we'll to tack old wire mosquito net

| Next years treatment is similar to
the first, but many seedlings will
probably grow stems a foot or more
nigh, and much foliage should appear
where the surface was vacant the pre-
ceding season.
Watering should be carefully attend
ed to the second summer, as the
foliage rapidly exhausts the soil.
When the leaves yellow in October
the soil should be carefully turned out
and the bulbs, some of which may be
as large as a walnut, planted out in
Wel1-prepared beds, placing them about
10 inches apart and covering at least
six inches deep. If seeds are sown in
deep roomy pots and the plants given
greenhouse treatment blooms may
often be had the second season, but by
the crowded box method without glass
protection flowers should not be ex-
pected until the third and fourth years.
1t is little use to plant lily and other
slOWgaited seeds in the garden. The
difficulties Of wedding and culture for
so long an interval, and the danger of
moles, mice and other vermin is so
great that the outcome is seldom worth
the trouble.

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
IS it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it ROth2

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right?
Is 1t more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed.
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case OF catarrh, remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a.
trio of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state Of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS. COR
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from everv
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms well-grounded the
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.
