Mrs. Holt said to me when I entered, Emily, your roses are prettier than mine replied that nothing could be more beautiful than her roses, as nature made them. She said.

 Another connoisseur in growing flowers was old Mrs. Go1dthwaite. the mother of so many distinguished sons. Her garden, at the extreme southern end of Perry Street, was very exten- sive. She planted both flowers and vegetables. I have gone many day out to the old lady's to beg flowers. as all children love to do.

John Duncan's gardener at his famous place in Autauga county, Violet HILL broken up and deserted after Mrs. Har- riss death, That old place is now Grand View, in Fillmore county, on the Prattville branch of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad. The old Duncan house was large and commo- dious, having six rooms down, and four upstairs, with large piazza ex- tending across the front.
 ''On the side entrance and rear were two porches. In front of the house was a large heart ped, Dordered Dy an evergreen hedge, around which tho children played catcher. on moon light nights while the girls and wis itors sang love songs with the guitar accompaniment on the piazza.
 The back porch led to the flower garden, laid off in geometrfcal shapes on each side of a wide walk leading to the green house. Dwarfed box he'd ges bordered the flower beds. An osage hedge enclosed the whole garden. The greenhouse was a gem, filled with rare and tender plants requiring protection in winter. The Japonicas grew to such size that the top of the green house had to be extended.
 My bridal flowers were joponicas and violets from Violet HILL sent to me in Clarke county by my dearest of friends, Kate Duncan, afterwards wife of the distinguished Dr. Thomas Ad- dis Emmet, of New York eity.

Flower Growers Hold MeetHnk.
 One of the most interesting meetings held since the organization of the Montgomery Flower Growers Associa- tion was that of Friday morning at s'Green Acres" the home of the Pres ident. Mrs. W. A Gayle. The program for the meeting was a continuation of the program of the last meeting which included several papers on Roses ana the Culture of Roses" by members or the Association.
 Mrs. Lewis Cobbs read an interesting paper on the "Classification of Roses" In the discussion which followed the reading of the paper. Miss E. x. An drews. the author of Botany all the Year Around" talked interestingly, giving from the rich storehouse Of her knowledge onAthe subject much valu- able information to the members or the Association who are specially interested in the cultivation of the rose. Miss Andrews said there are now in cultiva- tion more than 4,000 varieties of roses.
 A paper on the Ante Bellum Flower Gardens of Montgomery" was read be- fore the Association by one of the mem bers. and was one of the most pleasing features of the meeting. Following is the paper in full:
 Ante-BelIum Gardens.

F1orida,s Tobacco industry.

uS TAPtQ 0CNOAOPAAcAb OA eAAS oSSSA0h Of the State as tobacco growing country is of the greatest industrial importance. The growth of tobacco in Florida is no. new thing in so far as knowledge of the soils adaptability for the plant is concerned. But the extensive growth of 1t for markets is of very recent action.
 The result of the industry is that lands known to be tobacco lands have advanced in value astoundingly. and I am told that lands formerly worth no more tban ten dollars an acre ten miles removed from point of shipment command easily one hundred dollars the acre. And 1t is not all of tobacco culture to buy the land. It is neces- sary to shed 1t to get the best results, and this calls for an expenditure of at least five hundred dollars the acre. Gadsden county. of which Quincy is the capitol. is the leading county in grow ing tobacco. So prosperous have the people in that section become that banks of the usual capital of country banks have upwards of a million in deposits and not a few negroes have succeeded to opulence. Leon county of which Tallahassee is the seat. and Pasco county, are also tobacco crazy, and Deatur county. Georgia, of which Bainbridge is the chief city and county seat. is also possessed with the tobac- co habit
 It Is impossible to visit these coun- ties without being inoculated with the get-rich-q quick microbee Several mill lions of northern capital will be in- vested in this section the present year, and 1t is confidently asserted by those who have knowledge of the in- dustry that the market is unlimited in it's demand the production of any quantity of the sun grown and shedded sumatra will not glut the market. In Gadsden there are some four thou sand acres of Sumatra leaf grown and also a large acreage of Havana seed leaf grown in the open air. The qual- ity of this tobacco, both filler and wrapper, is equal to the best Imported and commands as high price as the best Cuban tobacco.
 Five millions is a conservative figure to estimate the amount already inves- ted in the three Florida counties mem tioned, and the industry has just be- gun. State Chemist Rose stated to a representative of this paper that ev- cry county in the State was adapted to the growth of tobacco, and that with the use of proper fertilizing, and that if the whole State turned Its attention to tobacco farming no | over production need be feared. The | average price of tobacco grown in ! Florida during the past season was ! upwards of sixty cents pound, and l 1t may be realized what this means l when our Maryland friends are satis- fled with fifteen cents.

Charre. Against Van Horn.

Charges of a serious character have been made against First Mate Edward Van Horn of the American bark Helen A. wyman. by members of the crew of that vessel.
 Two of the crew, a Scotchman and a West Indian negro cabin boy, made complaint to the United States Com missioner as soon as the vessel reached port yesterday that they had been beat en, mistreated and abused while at sea by the mate, and made afhdavits charging corporal punishment. x The mate was arrested and this morning he was given a preliminary hearing. when the members of the crew of the big bark were summoned to tes- tify. They told of seeing the mate fog members of the crew, strike them with brass knucks. place them in irons and con- flne them in the hatches of the vessel When the trial had progressed short time two other complaints were made by Hungariaus, who alleged that they, too, had been subjected to similar treatment
 It appeared that the bark sailed from Boston to Rosario, and there discharged cargo, an lthat the seamen become dis- satisfied before that port was reached. On the voyage from Rosario to Swapop- mund, South Africa, several of the men claimed that they were beaten and when the latter port was reached the West Indian claims to have been se- verely punished.
 To controvert the evidence of the boy the log of the ship was produced and also statement signed by him. which stated that he was guilty of number of brooches of rules and laws by abusing and attempting to assault the officers. The boy was then recall ed and testified that in order to se- cure his release from irons and the hold of the ship, he had agreed to sign a paper; that the paper he signed was only blank and that he placed his name on line instructed, but that there was no writing.
 When his testimony was concluded the Court Commissioner held the mate upon two charges of infiicting corporal punishment. It also developed during the hearing that to secure seamen at Rosario the master paid large sum to a boarding master and that the amount had been deducted from the wages of the seamen shipped at that port. This is contrary to law, and the commissioner will hear this case against the master later.

If they were put on the public roads the State and the counties would be de- prived of this revenue.

The Commissioner says there is no competition with free labor in this respect, because there is such demand for labor on these farms that it cannot be supplied. and he thinks the convicts and the State infinitely better off under the present system than they would be if they were put to building roads.
