oURious PIONEERING PLANT

Supt. Charles E. Whitaker of the Eantic cemetery has discovered curi- osity at the cemetery in shape of a large palm which seems to be flower ing, and has so far not been identified by any of the florists to whom he has shown it. It is upon the Wareham Will Hams lot and has been in the possess sion of the family for a number of years. past, being cared for in the win Ter by Geduldig.
 This spring there is rising from the central core from which the leaves radiate something that looks like the flower of the plant. It is about twenty four inches in circumference and com posed of a great number of light buff colored leaves, which separate into points and are downy or fuzzy. When separated they disclose a central cham Der in which is enclosed a great num- Der of kernels, about the size of and appearing much like corn. At the base of the flower there are a number of spines of a dull orange color He would be glad to have some one tell him what species of plant it is.

HELPING GROWERS.
American Paternalism as Applied to the
 Aid of HorticuIturnIfsts.

A writer in the London Times in
 urging that the British colonies be
 drawn closer to the mother country
 b means of organized assistance in
 their agricultural activities thus de-
 scrlbes some of the work done by the
 United States department of agricul-
 ture: When the government of the
 United States took over Porto Rico the
 heads of the department determined
 that 1t was the province of the central
 government to find some commodity suitable for cultivation in that island.
 An expert was sent to find that com modity. After visiting the island and studying its conditions, he travelled to find a plant suited to it's soil and cli- Innate. He returned with the mango and mangosteen, and during one of Imy recent visits to Washington I saw glass houses full of plants of the man. go and mangosteen, to be given to any properly qualified person who would settle and cultivate those plants in the
 island. the ripe fruit to be shipped to New York and other fruit markets.
 Shipment of fruit from California to the eastern states and England, journey where sometimes the fruit is subjected to extreme cold, at other times to extreme heat or damp, is a very difficult one. The department of agriculture has inspectors in Califor- nia who give advice as to how the cars should be packed, how long the fruit should remain before being put into boxes, and has reports sent to them as to the condition in which the fruit arrives at its journeys end. By this means knowledge is gradually built up as to the proper method of packing and shipping fruit for transportation.
 officials of the department of agri- culture are cooperating with various interested persons in importing from China various fruits, which they con sider as suitable for growth in certain special localities in California and other states, and during the last year I supplied them, at their request with information as to the culture of field beans in England. These at the pres ent time are not grown in the United States,
 "A friend of mine, a tobacco manu- facturer in the southern states, recent ly bought tract of land in Georgia, with view to planting apples. He applied to the Washington experts for their advice. They sent down an in- spector, who examined the land, and, told him the best varieties of apples to grow and how to plant them.
 T need not do more than mention the terrible havoc to the orange trees in California caused some ten years since by the eottony cushion scale. This was entirely got rid of by the im- portation of another insect, the veda- lia vastatrix, that preyed on this form of scale pest.
 Obtaining nitrogen from the air by means of leguminous plants has been made q special study by the depart mentof agriculture, This has resulted in much benefit to horticulturists."
