Convict Road Makers.

The idea of using convict labor for
road making is spreading. 1t has
reached the Pacific coast, the last
number OF the California Cultivator
contained the following item:
A suggestion has been made that
our criminals be used as road makers.
Instead Of housing them in jails and
feeding them until their sentences are
served, put them on the public high
way and let them work Out their fines
There are some reasons why this
idea might be followed to advantage
The average criminal would be better
off if he were put to work than he
would be if allowed to lay in jail. 1t
would cost a little more to guard him,
but he would be paying for his keep
ing in a substantial manner. Several

I would advise my friends to not omit
seeds of them when making Out their
orders, unless they already have a sup
ply. The flowers are as rich and well
marked as Colceo1arias, and always ex-
cite enthusiastic praise Here is
report ON these flowers by Kansas
sister:
Mr.. Editor:-A year ago last spring
I got three-cent paper OF Giant Snap
dragon seeds and made two sowings.
Not one came. Then I sowed the
third time and every seed came, but
something ate all of them but three
plants. Those grew and two OF them
bloomed, but did not seed; so | winter
ed the plants, and last season they
grew and bloomed and were Giants,
indeed! One plant was as tall as my
self, and the flowers were the largest
Snapdragons I ever saw, with very
odd markings on two The other was
a canary yellow. Everyone noticed the
flowers. I hope to have some next
year.
Just here let me call attention to
this sisters experience in starting
seeds. The first and second sowings
were failures, while the third was an
entire success. This serves to illustrate
what I have always advised need
OF making three sowings of packet
of seeds before condemning them. 1t
serves, also, to show the reward Of
patience in gardening, and the wisdom
OF the oft-repeated adage-''Try, try

The Lemon Lily.

Not long ago this paper said the
lemon lily (Hemerocallis fava) will
grow anywhere if the soil is not too
wet. I can go one better having found
it will do well right in the water, in
fact neither H. fava or H. fulva is
afraid OF wet soil. Both are marsh
plants in their South European home
The lemon lily bears great round
black shiny seeds with me and have
tried over and over to grow them, not
that I wanted more plants-as | could
divide roots to any extent, but such
big nice seed had to be sown. | never
started seed, but / think now that
if they could fall into shallow water
they would grow.
