Some Old Trees.


A correspondent of Parks Floral
Magazine furnishes the following in
teresting information about some
very old trees:
A statement recently made that
there are Views in Finland that are the
Oldest living things on this earth, is
not correct These Views are old,
very, very old; there is no doubt about
that; some Of them were stalwart
these shores. There is one now
ingal, in Perthshire, which Decandolle.
nearl y century ago, proved to the
satisfaction Of botanists, to be over
Is centuries old, and another at He'd
soc, in Buclas, which is $40 years
old. How Decandolle arrived at ap-
parently a correct estimate of the
enormous age of these living trees is
doubtless well-known today to ALL
The Yew, like most other trees, adds
one line (about 10 Of an lnch) to it's
circumference each year He proved
this after an investigation extending
over several years, and we know now
100 years later, that his deductions
were correct The. old Yew at He'd
soc has a trunk Fl feet in diameter,
proving. its great age, and it is in a
Aourishing, healthy condition now,
like its brother at Portugal.
Their years are few, though, COM
pared with some others. In one
chapter of his writings, Humboldt re-
fers to a gigantic Baobab tree in Cen
trail Africa, as the ''oldest organic
monument" in the world This tree
has trunk 20 feet in diameter, and
Adanson, by series Of careful meas
urements, demonstrated that it had
lived for no less than $50 years.
Still it is not the oldest organic
monument In the world, as Humboldt
declared, for now Mexican scientists
have proved that huge Cypress tree,
standing in Chepultepec. with trunk
II8 feet in circumference, is older than
it-older, too, by more than a thou
sand years-for it has been shown as
conclusively as these things can be
shown, that it's age is about 6,26o
years. To become impressed with
wonder over this, one has only to
dwell on that duration for a little
while in thought.
Yet it is not SO remarkable when
one stops for a moment to remember
that, given favorable conditions for
it's growth and sustenance, the aver
age tree will never die Of old age-its
death is merely an accident. Other
younger and more vigorous trees may
spring up near it, and perhaps rob its
roots of their proper nourishment:
insects may kill it, floods or winds
may sweep it away, or its roots may
come in contact with rocks and be-
come SO gnarled and twisted because
they have not room to expand in their
growth, that they literally throttle
the avenues Of it's sustenance: but
these are accidents. If such things
do not happen a tree may live Oh
for century, or century after cen
tury, still robust. still hourishing,
sheltering with it's wide-spreading
branches the men and women of age
after age.

Resurrection Begonia.

Our contributor, Mrs. Gist, wrote
to Parks Floral Magazine an account
Of a plant which was sent to her as
Beefsteak Geranium, it is another in
stance Of the uncertainty of common
names. Years ago, when we lived in
Indiana, there was plant quite com
mon in cultivation as house plant,
which was also called by the above
name. But it was not the same that
Mrs Gist had, it was Saxifraga sar-
mentos, it was also called Strawberry
Geranium. If the Begonia, which
Mrs. Gist describes, is hardy in w.
Va, it would certainly be so here,
and that would be recommendation
as it is difficult to keep Begonias
through the winter. The article of
Mrs. Gist is as follows:
Years upon years ago, a plant was
sent me marked "Beefsteak Gerani-
um,' and remember pondered over
1t long, trying to find out wherein it
resembled beefsteak. Some how or
other the name "Beefsteak" rather
set me against the plant I could
not even see why it was called
''Geranium," and I could not tell
whether the resemblance referred to
raw beefsteak, or to fried, Or broiled
beefsteak. Anyhow, l could not be-
come reconciled to the plant with its
homogeneous name. 1t was contrary
to all my preconceived ideas Of the
eternal fitness of things for, in my
estimation flowers and beefsteak don't
go we'll together.
However, as the plant had been
kindly sent me, thought it behooved
me to take care Of it. So. it was
carefully planted, and cared for as
we'll as were my other plants. 1t re-
sponded and grew apace, and In time
was transferred to a IO-lnch pot. The
branches grew three feet tall, then
there was wonderful shower of pink
bloom, panicle after panicle of bloom.
It was, most undoubtedly, fine specl-
men of the plant, and was greatly
admired by almost all beholders.
In the fall it became unjointed, and
| had it thrown away. Not any Of
your beefsteak Geraniums for me!
But, alas, like the Wandering Jew

in hundred years, but every year:
