To Destroy Plant Lice.

Besides the direct injury which they
inhict, plant lice, aphides, detract from
the appearance of plants simply by
their presence. How to get rid OF
them is a problem, which many garden
erS have not solved The following
recipes, from the Rural Californian,
will be of interest and value to you:
Every spring agricultural and gar
denlng papers are beseiged with ques-
tons regarding the control or eradi-
cation Of plant lice. 1t would be we'll
tor everyone interested in the garden
to clip out all recipes connected with
the subject and preserve them for
future reference.
Prof. c. P. Gillette of the Colorado
Agriculture College, who has carefully
experimental with various remedies,
gives the following list of things which
will easily kill plant lice or aphides
without injury to plants:
I. Dissolve one pound of whale-oil
soap Cor any good fsh-oil soap), in
eight gallons of water. Spray the lice
thoroughly or dip the parts containing
the lice into the liquid.

allow to cool and apply as in preced-
ing case.
3. Dissolve one pound of soap in
one gallon of boiling water; while boil
ing hot add two gallons of kerosene
(away from the fire. and emulsify the
whole by pumping it violently, through
a spraying nozzle, back into the vessel
containing it, for few minutes This
will make a stock solution sufficient for
80 gallons of spray material. Apply
as in No. I above.
A. House plants may be busted free
ly several times, two or three days
apart, with Pyrethrum, commonly sold
as Buhach or insect powder.

The Queen of the Palms.

The planting OF palms has been very
much neglected in this state. Nothing
adds more to the tropical appearance
OF a landscape than palms scattered
through the trees and shrubs. The
Rural Californian, recommends CocOs
plumosa for that state. In their cata-
logue, Reasoner Bros. say that it will
stand cold down to IS degrees. That
will allow it to be planted over the
entire orange belt The Rural Cali
fOrrian says:
The chief glory of the California
garden lies in its palms, for to the
tourist coming from less-favored
chimes they present the most pleasing
and welcome sight. People come to
California for its unexcelled semi
tropical climate and expect to see a
characteristic vegetation. In this they
are not disappointed, for on every hand
may be seen the graceful droop Of
palms, bananas, tree ferns and other
tropic plants.
On account Of their dignihed, ma
jestic appearance, coupled with a grace
and elegance that might we'll be termed
Kings and Princes of the Vegetable
truth of this appellation in general
there certainly should be queens where
there are princes and the title of
Queen Of the Palms is an honor to
which COcOs plumOsa is undisputabIy
entitled
Throughout a trial extending over
more than score of years, COcOs plu-
mOsa has proven peculiarly adapted
to Our soils and climate In luxuriance
of growth and grace Of habit this palm
is unsurpassed and adds more of
tropical touch to our gardens than any
single plant we grow and on this
point is only surpassed by a huge
clump of growing well-cared-fOr
bananas. COCOs plumOsa halls from
central Brazil and is sometimes con-
founded with C. Romanzofiana from
the more southerly parts, a palm sitter
in habit, slower in growth and with
smaller parts. In general appearance
it has not that bold, rampant growth
which is the chief landscape charm Of
the COcos plumOsa. Our palm is pc
culiarly easy of cultivation and thrives
marvelously we'll in all the more favor
ed parts Of our state. In San Diego
there is a truly royal group surround
ing the small plaza in' the central part
of the city and many fine specimens in
private grounds In and about Los
Angeles they may be found in pro-
fusion and nowhere do they grow with
greater rapidity or more luxurious
foliage. Scores of fine large specimens
might be listed that are worthy of
visit by all plant lovers. Up in Santa
Barbara, both in city and country, they
have been planted everywhere; much
more universally than elsewhere in the
state. Many city blocks may be found
where they are used as street trees
and nothing used for the purpose has
such sOftening influence upon the
harsh, monotonous lines of curb and
sidewalk as has the foliage of this
truly royal palm.

If one wishes to train a plant III
tree form it can easily be done in the
plant in the desired place in the gar
following way: Set out a strong young
den and let not more than two shoots
start After a few weeks growth re-
move the weaker one and tie the re-
naming one to a strong stake to keep
all the stem straight Rub off all side
branches as they appear, fertilize the
plant we'll to promote rapid growth,
tying often to the stake as growth adj
vances. Three or four feet of growth
should be made this season, and the
following spring the top should be
pinched out to cause branching All
side branches must be removed except
those at the top, and pinching off the
ends of the branches should be kept
up until large, bushy head is formed.
After this, nothing will be needed ex-
cept the regular pruning required to
produce large blossom heads. The
stake will be needed for two or three
seasons, after which the plant will be
able to support itself.
These plants can be grown TO eight
or ten feet high if desired, and when
grown on the lawn away from other
plants the effect is striking
Florists often grow them in tubs for
decorative purposes or to exhibit at
fairs, but such plants are not as
strong growing nor SO handsome as
when grown directly in the ground.
Standard plants Of this kind can be
purchased from nurserymen if wanted
for immediate effect, though most gar
deners prefer to watch the develop
ment Of such plants.

any time during summer, while the
branches are yet green and tull OF
SAP. The test Of a suitable cutting is
in the way it breaks when bent sharp
ly, perfect cutting breaking off short,
leaving only strip of bark on the
farther side They should be treated
as recommended for cuttings taken
early in the season, a stone jar filled
with sand placed in sunny position
and covered with glass being a good
substitute for the hOtbed Cuttings
must not be allowed to wilt even in
the slightest degree before being plant
ed, as after that they seldom root.
When plants are rooted late in the
season they need protection during
the first winter as they lack sufficient
root system to stand any great ex-
tremes of temperature A small frame
can be placed over them, being filled
with leaves or litter, or the plants may
be buried under mound Of earth.
Growing several of these shrubs
gives one chance to plant them in
masses, under which conditions they
make much better display than when
planted sing1y. I have, however, seen
many beautiful single specimens, some
grown in bush form while others were
like trees, grown to a single stem with
large bushy top. AS with chrysanthe-
NUNS, the grower cantake his choice
Of large number of clusters of BIOS
SONS, or reasonable number Of extra
large ones. The difference is caused
by pruning early in the season before
active growth begins The amateur
seldom prunes enough to make per-
feet plant, and safe rule to follow
as to prune all one thinks is needed,
then go over the bush again and do
as much more.
The result gives an immense pan1cle
Of blossoms on every branch, which
certainly makes much finer appear
ance than multitude of small ones.
The rule followed by those who have
the best success with these plants is to
cut away at least one-half Of the wood
grown the previous season. usually
leaving only one or two eyes on each
branch, and removing all small or
weak branches entirely. A successful
florist living near me says when he
prunes his hydrangea he has a larger
bush on the ground where his clip
pings fall than he leaves on the root
This close pruning also tends to make
the branches which start out all strong
ones, and they can hold up the i'm
mense clusters of blossoms instead OF
allowing them to fall over to the
ground as they must when the branch
es are weak and slender

The Hardy Hydrangea.

When Hydrangeas are mentioned,
most people think of the tender varie-
ties, Otaksa, HOrtense, ETC., but few
remember, if they ever knew, that
there is shrubby species, which is
hardy at the North and of course
stands more cold than is ever known
in this state. We are not sure that 1t
can be successfully grown in Florida,
but believe that it can. Have any Of
our readers ever tried it here? If So,
we should be very glad to hear from
them. The following account of the
hardy Hydrangea is taken from the
Ohio Farmer:
This is perhaps the most popular Of
our hardy shrubs, and justly SO, as its
beauty when in bloom, the great length
Of it's blOssOming season, it's hardness,
freedom from disease and insect pests,
all unite to make it an ideal plant for
the amateur as we'll as the professional
gardener Few shrubs have attained
such popularity in so short a time, it
now being seen in all situations, and
growing under all sorts of circum-
stances.
The blossoms are especially attract
i've on account of the variation in COL
or, opening creamy white, changing
to a greenish color and nna1Iy to dull
pink with a coppery tinge, in which
condition they remain perfect all Win
ter if carefully dried in the shade. The
clusters are composed of both perfect
and imperfect blossoms, which give
them an odd yet beautiful appearance,
the staminate flowers having a feathery
appearance while the others are almost
severe in their plainness.
These shrubs are very easy to prop
agate, either from cuttings of by lay
ering. | have rooted them in the hot
bed early in the season, taking new
branches when from four to six inches
long, removing all but the two enu
leaves and planting them two-thirds of
their length in coarse sand. They are
kept we'll aired during the day, but are
carefully protected from the cold night
air and they make roots in a short
time The plants are ready to set out
in the garden in a few weeks and
should be cultivated or mulched during
their first season. The following
spring they should be of suitable size
to plant in their permanent places.
Many Of the plants SO grown will
bear one immense cluster of blossoms
the following season, and the great
size of the panicles on young plants
gives people an impression that they
always bear larger ones than older
plants do. This is not true, the differ
ence being in the number of branches
according to the size and strength Of
the plant.
Cuttings can also be easily rooted at

Section 1. At al elections wrere ma

ficers are elected, the polls shall be
opened at 8 o'clock a. m. and closed at
s O'Clock p. m. Provided, that in pre-
cincts outside of Incorporated towns
and cities the hour of opening said
polls shall be nine o'clock a. m., the
hour of closing Z o'clock p. m.
Passed tie house March IA, 1907.
Passed the senate March IA, 1907.
Approved by the governor March l6,
1907.
Section 1885 Of Ballinger's Annotated
codes and statutes, which was amended
by this act, prio- to amendment reads
as follows:
Sec. 1885, "At al elections held u"-
der the provisions Of this title, the polls
shall be opened at nine o'clock a. m.
and closed at O'Clock p. m.
The provisions of the new law are
mandatory and positive. The city has
no authority to varv or depart from
them. 1t will be seen that the eVl
dent intention OF the law was to give
the voters in city precincts two addl-
tional hours in which to vote. Tno
new law leaves the voter in country
precincts the same hours as before. In
the city election, the polls were opened
an hour later, and closed an hour earl
ier, than the law prescribed, making a
difference of two hours in all. AS the
law is mandatory, this shortening OIL
the voting hours was clearly unlawful.
