Manetti Stock for Roses.

Editor Floral Department:
Our editor asks us to write Of Our
failures.
l hate to acknowledge a failure,
which is the reason [ have sent moth
ing in to our Floral Page.
Owing to extremes OF wet and
drouth, and recent cold, many fine
flowers have persisted. In all my ex-
perience as floral amateur, never
had such poor show Of plants. Thlr-
ty years ago l had the loveliest roses,
climbing into the very tops Of large
orange trees. That was at my old
home in Marion county, where we
had a soil and clay in the soil to hold
the moisture and manure.
Here in Tampa we have the poor
est of sandy soil. have to prepare
a soil for every flower grow, yet
with patience and perseverance, fair
degree Of success may be attained.
The only thing that has withstood
all adverse conditions is the old stand
by, the Manett1 Rose, OF which l have
several lagre bushes, (plenty of cut
tings to spare to any friend who will
send postage). The fine roses have
budded on this stock, are doing well,
while Northern roses ON their own
roots have died out.
The lessons to learn from expert
ence are: Plant Manetti cuttings. They
will all grow, if kept moist. Then
as soon as possible, bud with the fine
roses, and you have something that
will endure.
Fertilize persistently, about 3 times
a year, with we'll rotted cow Or sta
Bic manure, water often, and you will
have something to show for your
labor in very few months.

Mad'elle Cecile Drummer.

This rose, which belongs to the Pol
yantha section Of the rose family, has
long been favorite with us. All the
Polyantha varieties which we have
tried, with the exception of this one,
bear their blossoms in large clusters
from which it is impossible to take
a single bud with a long stem. In
fact none of the others of which we
have any knowledge. give good buds.
Cecile Drummer buds are as perfect
as those of any large variety, but
so small that they are perfection for a
buttonho1e boquet Mrs. Townsend
speaks thus of this rose in Parks
Floral Magazine:
Nothing is sweeter than this Polyan-
tina Rose It's buds are perfect, and
priced for personal use. But perfect
as is the bud, love the open flower
for a vase. It is so crisp and fiat and
pink. AS the Polyanthus are hardy,
every one should have Cecile Brun-
ner, if none of the others. The true

Linaria Cyrnbalaria.

Parks Floral Magazine describes
the Linaria Cymbalaria (Kenilworth
IVY as follows;
There is no basket plant that excels
the kenilworth Ivy for a densely
shaded window, and it seems strange
that it is not more popular. 1t is
easily raised from seeds, and every
little plant will become dense, grace
ful mass Of dropping foliage sprays,
set off with delicate little flowers. A
sister in Arkansas is pleased with it,
and writes under date of December 4,
as follows:
A year ago last spring | sowed a
little packet Of seeds of Kenilworth
Ivy, and had plants to divide with
friends, keeping basketful for my
self. Such a beauty as that basket
was! All summer it decorated the
front porch, and all winter it hung
in the north window. The past sum-
mer it again hung on the porch. 1t
bloomed all the time, and was beau
tiful."
Inquiry is often made for a basket
vine that will thrive in a dense shade,
and the Kenilworth Ivy just meets
that want. Simply keep it we'll water

no lack of dropping vines for shady
windows Or porches, when three
cents will buy seeds enough for a

also quite free forming bulblets about
the stem near the surface of the soil,
SO that it may be regarded as easy to
propagate. The Washington Depart
ment of Agriculture has also crossed
this species with various forms Of
Longihorum, and we understand is
about to experiment with its outdoor
culture in California and the South.
Those of our readers who would care
to grow belated Easter lily of uni
que and elegant type might test this
Philippine acquisition in their window
gardens and greenhouses. The main
requirement, besides light and cool
growing temperature, seems to be
thorough drainage, but plenty of wa
ter and weak soluble fertilizer until
the blooms are perfected, then grad
ual tapering off to complete dryness.
Plant the bulbs near the center of
five or six-inch pot of garden soil.
Space above the bulb is needed for
the fbrous stem roots that have so
much to do with the development of
good flowers. The earth should be
we'll moistened after planting, and the
pots are best kept in moist and cool
dark place until growth starts.
The Bermuda Easter Li1y.-The
most popular lily forced for Easter

disastrous inroads into the cultivated
stock, was undoubtedly L. Harrisi,

d. 1t is little more than twenty

Lilies.

Each week the Rural New Yorker
contains about two columns of notes
from the Rural grounds. They tell
the results of various experiments, not
only with flowers, but novelties of all
kinds. A few weeks ago the space
was devoted to Lilies, from which we
quote:
The New Philippine Lily-One of
the very few good things brought here
from the Philippine Islands is the
| Benguet or white trumpet lily of Luz
on, L1lium Phillppense. 1t was first
collected in 1874, and introduced in a
small way to the European trade,
but though recognized as very de-
slrable it did not attain commercial
Importance until the American occu-
patton of the Philippine Archipelago.
Since then it has been imported in in
creasing numbers, and finds favor
wherever tried, among professional as
we'll as amateur growers. If bulbs
can be procured in sufficient quantity
this elegant species will go far to
replace, for Easter blooming, the 9TH
er white trumpet kinds so extensively
grown. The Benguet lily is in real
lty very distinct form of the varia-
bic, longtubed Lilium longihorum,
the type of which grows naturally in
China and Japan, and is therefore
closely related to L. Harrisi, the very
free-howering variety popularity
known as the Bermuda Easter lily 1t
has longer and more perfectly pro-
portioned blooms, at times fully nine
inches in length, borne on stiff but
slender stems two feet high clothed
with very narrow glasslike foliage.
Notwithstanding it's almost tropical
origin this lovely lily grows we'll un-
der ordinary greenhouse conditions,
blooming with great certainty in
about 90 days after starting into
growth. The flowers are not as num-
erous as with the best strains of Lon
giforum and Harrisi, the largest OBJ
tainable bulbs seldom producing more

than four blooms, but they are so re-
fined in their elegant tapering form,
their waxen purity Of color and rich
ness of perfume, as fairly to outclass
other white lowered forcing varieties.
Of Easy Culture.-Three ordinary
commercial bulbs, potted up last jan
uary, bloomed beautifully in the Ru-
raj Grounds glasshouse in early April,
and the bulbs, contrary to general ex-
perience with potted lilies, doubled in
size by the time growth ceased in
September. They were grown sing
ly in six-inch pots of rather poor
loamy soil, but were provided with
good drainage and fertilized with
weak liquid manure every week after
six inches of growth had been made
until midsummer After the stems
died down in October the pots were
allowed to dry out and in fact to lie
outside, but protected from rain, until
hard freezing weather in late Novem-
ber The bulbs under this treatment
came out firm and plump, and we ex-
pect them to bloom still better the
coming season. Thus far the bulbs
in commerce appear free from the
dreaded bacterial disease that plays
havoc with our regular Easter lilies.
The natural distribution of Lilium
Philippense appears to be pretty much
confined to the plateau Of Benguet
on the Island of Luzon, the most
northern of the Philippine islands,
where it grows abundantly on grassy
slopes in clay soil of very moderate
fertility. The Towering season is
August and September, the massive
fragrant trumpets being so numerous
in localities as to whiten the hillsides.
At this season there is much rain and
humidity, but afterward a prolonged
drought sets in, the tops die down
and the bulbs become entirely DOR
mant-a cultural hint that should be
carefully followed by the grower. We
found little difficulty in hybridizing
the Benguet lily with good specimens
of Harrisi and Longihorum, and hope
to bloom the results in due time 1t

ordinary cultural conditions, and is

STATEMENT BY CALHOUN

In the following authorized state
ments the different parties to the con-
troversy recite the story as it appears
to them:
The committee OF the carmen, accompanied by
Father Yorke. met the officials OF the United
Railroads by appointment this afternoon at 3
o'clock At the last meeting with the commit
tee Mr. Cornelius on it's behalf insisted that the
Oakland scale was better for the employees Of
the United Railroads than that 6xed by the re-
cent board OF arbftrators, of which Chief Justice
Beatty was chairman. We told him that in
this he was in error and that tho scale fixed
by the board OF arbitration was the highest rate
paid by any street railroad company ia this
country except that Of Butte. Mont. At that
time the committee insisted that the members
Of the union would favor the Oakland scale. and
we told the committee that. if they. offered the
company the Oakland. scale we would accept It,.
The committee now realizes that the Oakland
scale would reduce the hrst, second and third
year men employed by the United Kailyoads one
cent an hour and that under the Oakland scale
65h per cent Of our employees w5uld receive
a less rate OF wages than that fixed for
them by the hoard of arbitration; and which
the company is willing to pay for the ensuing
