California Palms.
Editor Floral Department:

Almost every tourist who has come
to Los Angeles, through the old Ar
cade depot, has beheld the famous
palm which stands just outside the
entrance, where one goes to take the
street cars. 1t is quite an old patr1-
arch of palm, having been moved
from it's original position on San Pc
dro Street, to its present home, after
it was over one hundred years old.
The art of moving such enormous
trees is considerable, and there are
regular contractors in Our city who do
it, at something like one hundred dol
lars tree, depending upon the dis
tance it must be moved, and the price
raised accordingly. Not long since the
famous Twin Palms, two trees grow
ing side by side, and known to have
been there since the first memory Of
any one in this locality, were to be
moved from what is now a wretched
part Of town, but the contractors fail
ed in their work, and broke off both
trees. A sigh went up from all over
the city, as these twin palms were old
watch guards over us from Our infan-
cy. When new tracts are laid out, or
man wishes to fill his new place
with grown trees, palms of many
years growth are transplanted to the
new situation. 1t is generally done in
the dry season, too, and huge basin
is dug, into which the tree is placed,
and then this basin receives liberal
irrigation regularly all summer. AS
difficult as it may seem, to move an
immense tree from forty to eighty
feet high, it is seldom Or never, that
one dies if it is successfully moved
The only difficulty is in the danger Of
one topping when being lifted, and
breaking as did the Twins. These
palms are native to California They
are the Washingtonia Filifera. Their
native habitat is in a canyon up in the
mountains, just west of the California
desert, and this canyon is fed with
warm springs. The trees make a
great growth there. When by some
chance they are overturned, they will
go On growing with half their roots
out of the ground. The Indians make
quite little money, collecting the
seeds for commerce.

coloring is richer blue. AS whole,
it is a more desirable and manageable
garden plant Clumps on the Rural
Grounds were not in the least affected
by the severe winter and late, cold
spring, blooming with the greatest
profusion at about the usual time.
Japanese Ally-The nearest old
world ally of Iris hexagona appears to
be l. albo-purpurea, recently imported
from Japan This uncommon species
has certain structural peculiarities that
place it very close to Hexagona, but
it has erect stems, bearing heads Of
flowers rival in showiness and size
large, snowy blooms, bright purple,
marb1ed with white The flowers hiva1
in showiness and size those Of the
those of the familiar Japan Iris, /.
1aevigata or Kaempferi, but the plant,
though undoubtedly hardy, is a COM
parative1y weak and slow grower, re-
quiring abundance of moisture The
foliage is tall, light green and SO weak
that many leaves fall over. A1bo-pur-
purea is not in commerce and can only
be obtained from collections for botan-
ic gardens.

Oxydendron Arboreum.

Mr.. Joseph Meehan describes an
other native of this state, in the
Florists Exchange:
A rare tree in collections, yet one
that is abundant in it's native wilds, is
the Oxydendron arboreum. In many
catalogues this tree is still carried un-
der its very old name, Andromeda
arborea, but Oxydendron is the cor
rect one. Many native trees are
scarce in collections for the simple
reason that nurserymen have made no
efforts to obtain a supply. When
asked why, they say they have no call
for such things. They have not, but
it is only because they have put forth
no endeavor to make them known.
This was the case in the past with
the Oxydendron It is not so now,
for it has been brought to the front
prominently within late years, and
now that specimens are growing up
to Towering size, there is better
knowledge of it's merits.
Ihe Illustration accompanying these
notes is Of tree in Germantown,
Philadelphia, one of several hundred
which were distributed from Phi1ade1-
phla nurseries many years ago It is
now tree of about 30 feet in height,
and one Of the very best in this vicini-
ty. 1t is very attractive when in flow
er, as our specimen was when it was
photographed The numerous panic1es
made the tree most attractive.
The tree is quite hardy in the Middle
States. In fact, it is native of Ohio
as well as farther South, growing
along the Allegheny Mountains from
Ohio through Pennsylvania, Virginia
and through the South as far as Flo
rida. The one pictured came origin
ally from the mountains of Virginia,
where the tree is very abundant, and
where the cold is as intense as it is
where the tree now grows.

is of a velvety purple butterfly set

In eleven years this Miltonia had
multiplied in value thirteen times. Its
history is almost sensational in the
light it throws on orchid culture as
a speculation.

ceived one very small plant among

sold it for one hundred and five
pounds to Sir Frederick Wigan In
the course of time Sir Frederick
divided the plant into three, and the
sequel was the 1875 pounds and 10

shillings obtained for the three por-
tons.
1t is a curious fact that Messrs.

the original for los pounds bought

A. Lovely Native Iris.

Under this title the Rural New
Yorker describes a plant which is
common in some parts of this state.
1t requires a stranger to appreciate
beauty in wild flowers.
A little cultivated, but most decora-
tive native plant is Iris hexagona,
growing wild in moist lands from
Florida to Texas and Missouri. It is
one of the more vigorous species Of
the genus, attaining three feet or more
in height in congenial situations. The
leaves are broad and graceful, light
cool green in color, while the blooms,
which are freely produced in late June,
are usually five inches in diameter and
singularly harmonious in their color
ing of sky blue, orange and pale green
The flower stems are long, rather tor
tuous in form and dropping or pros
trate in habit, SO that the richly color
ed blooms nestle amid the foliage in
stead Of overtopping it, as in many
other Irises.
The fruits or seed capsules hang by
flexible stems and are conspicuOusly
six-angled, giving the plant it's speci-
flc name. Though a moisture-loving
species, Iris hexagona grows we'll in
ordinary garden soil and may be suc-
cessfully cultivated in any bed or bor-
der of sufficient fertility for common
herbaceous Towering plants, but free
watering at blooming time and an
after-mulch of COW manure will be
we'll repaid in increased vigor Of
the clump. In the South it is called
blue flag, name indifferent1y applied
to all the blue. or purple Towering
wild Irises. A pure white variety of
much beauty is known and offered, to-
gether with the type, by a Florida
nursery that describes the latter as
"the loveliest flower of the whole
South, comparing it to the rarest
orchids. In truth, there is as great
beauty and greater refinement in Iris
hexagOna flowers as in the finest Catt-
leyas, but the Iris blooms are short
lived, not enduring more than 48
hours, while the orchid flowers, when
properly handled, remain effective for
nearly a month. The extreme south
ern forms Of Hexagona are of doubt
ful hardness in the North and are
generally considered tender in Europe
but Missouri form distributed some
years ago by J. N. Gerard, Elizabeth,
N. j., under the varieta1 name of La
Mancei, appears entirely reliable. It
is somewhat more dwarfsh in growth
than the southern plants and the
blooms range smaller in size, but the

A Work-Box on Everv Floor.

Every woman and mother knows
how frequently a stitch is required
somewhere, perhaps just at the last
moment. AS many keep their work
box in their bedroom, there is often
frantic rush for needle and cotton,
or else the stitch in time is left un-
done, to require more than "nine" lat
er on.
The proverbial "stitch in time"
would often have more chance if
needle, cotton and thread were handy
when wanted for the buttons, hooks,
tapes and the dozen and one little
things that so often want a stitch at
the last moment. Then keep a con-
venient "hous ewife" on each floor of
the house.

In addition to the beauty of its flow
ers a great deal of it's fame comes
from its foliage, which changes to a
bright crimson in Autumn, somewhat
as does the sour gum, but not as deep
a crimson.
When young, the tree is apt to be-
come of bushy habit, failing to make
a leader, especially if pruned hard on
transplanting. Usually the tree shape
is preferred, that the tree may grow
up as the one illustrated has done.
When this is desired it can often be
brought about by cutting down nearly
to the ground one that is bushy,
which will cause it to make one or
more strong shoots, when all but the
strongest should be cut away. 1t has
been noticed that the tree has habit
Of making a strong leader at times,
even when growing as a bush, so that
with a little assistance, as suggested,
it is not difficult to get tree shape.

before repairs could be made another flood might take out the coffer dam and the project would be delayed again for many months. It is pleasing news to know that this is now a groundless fear, though it is to be regretted that there should be any interference with the work at all.
 The big cable which fell into the can yon was in itself uninjured but the fire which destroyed the hoisting house and scorched the machinery. parted the cable that ran from the end of the big cable to the dead man" in the rocky hillside and held it in place. When this shorter cable parted, the big one fell pulling over the tower that suspended it across the canyon. When the cable fell it broke off a DOT ton of the road graded along the hill side and lower down hit and injured a part of the mixing plant. where the concrete is prepared for use in the dam.
 It did not all go in one crash and thereby the workmen below had an op- portunity to get out of the way. Each of the big cables is really three ca bles. Below the big one is suspended what is called the button line. device for regulating what is known as the fall line that hangs still below that and which line is the one that hangs down with the rock or material or whatever is being handled, on the end of it. The button line which is a comparatively small one gave way first and served as a warning to the men. A little later the fall line dropped and finally the big cable. but by that time the work men had all got out of the pit or off the wall and no person was injured.
