Odds and Ends Horticultural.

Under this title a correspondent of
the Citrograph talks on a variety of
subj Jects relating to flowers, etc.
The question of the pronunciation
OF botanical name is important only
to the extent of the convenience it
affords in discussing plants.
The supplement to NichOlSOn's Die
tiOnary to Gardening contains a most
interesting article on the subject But
the pedantic temperament should have
no place in general intercourse Let
the meek and lowly take courage.
Grammarians and Rhetoricians are a
self-constituted authority, and their
tendency is not to make language, but
to spoil it. The rules promulgated
with such a superior air of severe
authority are merely more or less i'm
system the language which the people
make and which they would spoil. The
ultimate criterion of good language
is the use OF it by people of good
taste. Grammar, Dictionary or Rhe-
tOric, cannot be final.
In the article in Nicho1son's, refer
ence is made to the fact that Camellia
and Fuchs1a, as special examples, are
almost always improperly pronounced
as the hrst was named for a man by
the name Of Kamel, and the other
for Mr.. Fuch, and the proper pronun-
citation should be suggestive of these
names. 1t is my opinion that those
pronunclations which have become
common usage are the right of the
people, and should take precedence
over the conclusions reached by the
narrow path of pedantic Investigations.

that the way I have heard Gladiolus
pronounced in Europe and America
from childhood up, is incorrect My
impression is that it is traditiona1ly
correct and superior to a mere sup
posed rule of Latin pronunciation.

Cyclamen From Seed.

Every one who loves flowers at all
admires the Cyclamen. The Farm
Stock Journal tells how to grow the
bulbs from seed. Seeds may be sown
yet, and the bulbs ought to bloom be-
fore next spring:
Seed of the cyclamen should be sown
in shallow pots or pans. Sow thinly
and cover with light of glass. Then
place on a shelf near the window in
a moderately warm place. Remove
the light of glass as soon as the young
plants appear. AS soon as they are
large enough to handle, say in their
third leaf, prick out into pots or boxes
an inch apart. When they are we'll
rooted, pot off singly in three-inch
pots. The soil should be loan, with
ar abundance Of leaf mold and sharp
sand. In pOtting let two-thirds of the
bulbs be above the soil, so that the
leaves can start free and clear from
dirt. In the summer they can be plant
ed in a north border where they will
get two or three hours sun day.
and where they can be can be con-
veniently syringed This should be
done every two or three days to keep
the red spider down. By the middle
of September they should be repotted
and brought into the house
They dislike much fire heat, doing
much better in cool, airy place. While
in the house the tops of the plants
should be frequently dipped in water,
as they are subject to attacks of the
red spider, which soon destroys the
beauty of the foliage.
The main point is to keep the plants
growing all the time Formerly the
practice was to let them rest through

Sollya is not as common as it should
be. 1t is one of the bluest Of the
flowers cultivated in this region, a
woody climber, suitable for walls and
banks, resembling somewhat the Po
tato Vine, Solanum Jasminoides. Our
knowledge of the Pittosporaceae is
likely to be limited to the genus Pltto-
sporum, and it is surprise to find that
Sollya is of the same family.
Everybody loves the Honeysuckles.
This family furnishes us some hand
some shrubs, such as the Laurestinus
Viburnum Tinus, and other Viburnums
much more admired, but less known.
One of the most delightful of these
is in England Park, opposite the Pansy
bed. 1t is probably Viburnum adora-
tissimum. The fruit drops off, making
positive identification difficult. The
fruit should turn red and then purple
or black If this could be verified the
agreement with the description would
seem to be good. A very handsome
shrub now in bloom is a member of
this same family; it is Diervilla gran
diflOra A most charming color effect
is added by the spreading calyx-lobes.
Abelia is close to Diervilla, and it is
more than likely that these are some
times confused.
On Cypress avenue, south side, west
Of the school house, there stands in
the middle of the front yard a shrub
which is seldom seen in Southern Cali
forllia, the Smoke-Tree, Rhus Cotina.

Ludwigia Virgata.

We have for some time intended to
recommend this plant for more gen
eral cultivation. 1t is native of the
flat woods country but like many SIM
liar plants, can be naturalized in gar
dens by using little care. 1t is an
herbaceous perennial, the stems grow
to a height of from one to three feet.
Each clump sends up from two to a
dozen stems. The stems are four an
gled and the seed pods are distinctly
four sided The flowers are bright
yellow, with four petals, which make
a beautiful display in the morning, but,
like Morning Glories, fade by or be-
fore noon. The season is long one,
as they bloom in succession from the
base of the stalk upward, lasting for
several weeks. This description gives
a very poor idea of the beauty Of the
plant. 1t is at home among the grass
of the woods, and therefore will stand
more neglect than many of our cult
waited plants.

They all get flowers as long as [ have

grow flowers in Florida, but how few
there are who do so, compared with
the whole number who might do it.
There is nothing which does so much
to please the eye, and lends so much
grace to the home, as flowers and
vines. So many stop to look at my

dahlia, a Grape myrtle or some other
of my floral pets, and they never ask
in vain, SO long as there is a bloom

I remember reading a verse like this !:
"As ye have done it unto one of the

done it unto me-"
Why do not more of the people
raise few flowers, and have them
to give away to those who do not
know how, or lack the inclination to
do SO? Try it. There is still time
enough yet. Start the seeds in a box
or shady place, and grow them for

way. He says:
One Of the surprises of the season

ness OF goat raising. We confess that
talk about ''the poor mans cow did

is that in many places near large critics

stock. Large prices are paid for the
milk, and the male kids are greatly
priced as food by Italians and Poles

out the roots, removing the young
tubers, and repot the old plant in
fresh soil. After this, stand it out on

ACADEMIC COSTUMES.
Square Cap or Berretta Hood Survival
of the Ancient Cope.

Academic costume was originally the
ordinary dress of the period in which
It was prescribed. Medieval statutes
were directed not to the wearing of
any particular robe, but against ex-
travagant taste in or deficiencies Of
dress. AT Heidelberg, for instance, stu
dents were forbidden to go out without
boots "unless clad In garment reach
ing to the heels" The most purely
academic part of the costume was the
square cap or berretta, with tuft on
tasseD, which was the distinctive
badge of the mastership. Its posses
sion was much coveted and, according
to one authority, 'it is only in post
medieval times that the berretta, first
without, then with, the sacred apex
has been usurped, first by bachelors,
then by undergraduates and now (out-
side the universities) by mere choris-
ters or school boys" The gown, or
toga, on the other hand, was an un-
official robe or cassock of various col
ors, the favorite at Oxford being
"green, blue or blood color"
The hood is a survival of the ancient
cappa, or cope, which is still to be seen
in the official robes of the chancellor of
Cambridge. 1t formed part of the gar
ment, like the cowl of monks robe,
and was not restricted to graduates,
being the ordinary clerical dress, and
not even exclusively clerical. "It is
only the material of the hood which
was characteristic of degree or office"
the use of minever for instance, being
confined to masters. "Silk hoods came
in perhaps toward the end of the four
teenth century as summer alterna-
tive for masters, whose winter fur
hoods were something more than an
honorary appendage in the unwarmed
schools and churches of medieval
tines" At Oxford undergraduates lost
their hoods in 1880, but it was not till
"about the beginning of Queen Eliza
beth's reign" that the masters and
stewards of Incorporated societies, who
also wore them, "cast them off their
heads and hung them on their shoul-
