THE HOLLY AN EMBLEM

A State flower is still discussed
by the press of Virginia, and
many are the blossoms brought
to the front in the search of a fit
emblem of the pride of the Old
Commonwealth. Honey-s uekle,
daisy, butter-cups, what not
all are mentioned, all to find OBJ
iectors. Some mention the dan
delion, but it is said that Okla
homa has appropriated that, and
the Virginia creeper has many
friends, but that is objected to
on theground thatit is Suggestive
of the alleged creeping ways OF
our people. However, il we do
creep, which is denied, we can
blame it on, not our indisposition
but the hookworm, for science
has just furnished us this capital
excuse, albeit we feel that the
worm would turn and object did
it read all that is blamed on it.
VI course it will be impossible
to find tree or flower that is
solely Virginian. What is found
here is found in many adjacent
States. So we shall be Obliged
to take such as we can. We snp.
gest the holly, which il indigenous
to Eastern Virginia, and which
t1ourishes luxuriantly in our
forests as a tree, may come near
to fulfilling the demands for a
beautiful ornamental tree. and
while it is not in q strict sense a
fower-bearing tree, it is decorated
with the most ornamental berries
Speaking of holly, most who
have tried to transplant it know
the difficulty ofdoing this. Most
OF them die. 1t is stated that the
best method Ia to select a small
tree and in the spring dig n
trench about it about a foot
from the trunk. This will ampu-
tate many small roots, and these
during the summer will start
afresh and fill the soil left about
the trunk with small pootlets
The pextwinter, when the ground
is hard frozen, take up the whole
mass OF earth about the roots
carefully, trying not to disturb
the mass, and set this out, The
chances are that it will grow

SOMETHING DOING IN OYSTERS.

Christmas orders for oysters are flow
ing in and there is great activity among
the oyster dealers. Mr.. Hurley says
there is plenty market for oysters here.
and while the prices are not SO high,
the catch is good and tongers are max
ing good money. Sentinel, Urbanna. .
For the past few weeks there has
been quite squirt in the demand for
oysters. Norfolk packers say they hav %
done better than for years. This is dus
to the fact that the great abundane.
and fairness of oysters on the public
rocks permit them to buy at low prices

them to easily compete with the north.
