VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Americas Foremost Woman.

-
Julia Ward Howe, whose ninetieth
birthday was lovingly remembered by
her children and friends Thursday, is
undoubtedly the first woman of Amer
lea today. If in all her long life she
had done nothing but write the mighty
Battle Hymn of the Republic" she
would deserve lasting honor and rev.
crence. But Mrs. Howe has not been
content to rest upon this achievement
Up to within the last decade she has
been actively engaged in forwarding
reform movements, and her pen has
seldom been idle. Her life should re-
MAIN an inspiration to all Americans
Already middle aged woman when
she wrote the battle hymn, Mrs. Howe
had long been engaged advancing the
anti-slavery movement in New Eng
land. After the Civil war she turned
her energies to other activities. and
took a special interest in prison re-
form, and i'll sane advocacy of suffrage
for women. Mrs. Howe has always
been, in a good sense. an agitator. She
has striven for things the realization
of which were apparently beyond her
day and generation. And now, in OK
treme Oil age, she is loved and hon
ored by all the people as a brave and
noble and unselfsh soldier in the
cause of civilization

Petunia.

Because of the ease and facility with
which all Of the straightforward vari-
cites of the petunia can be grown from
seed this plant commands attention as
a worthy candidate for the summer
flower garden. The young plants grow
rapidly and come into bloom early, and
in addition to this they furnish a con-
tinuous wealth of blossoms until de-
stroyed by frost. The large lowered
strains are very beautiful and Of great
variety. While the single sorts are
common and inexpensive the double
giant Powered varieties are rendered
expensive because they must be re-
produced from seed which sets, only
after careful hand pollination of the
flowers, which is in itself an expensive
operation, or from cuttings, of which
an Individual plant can supply but a
limited number.
For best results the seeds Of all
sorts should be sOwn in a gentle hot
BED, cold frame, or in fine soil in a
box placed in a sunny window early
in April. When the soil has warmed
sufficiently and the danger Of frost has
passed, the seeding plants should be
transplanted to a rich garden loan
and placed about a foot apart each
way. The seed of the double varieties
is less vigorous than that of the sin
gle sorts, and. therefore, requires more
attention to prevent extremes of tenn
perature and of moisture to insure
good termination. If the seeds are
sown in boxes in the living room, a
pane of glass may with advantage be
kept over the top to maintain a close
atmosphere, and thus prevent the loss
of moisture until the young plants are
we'll out of the ground. In planting.
the seeds should be scattered over the
surface of the soil and brought in con-
tact with it by firming They should
not. like most other seeds, be covered.
Pertunias are attractive in beds and
masses, serve we'll for broad borders
or bands, and thrive well in window
boxes. They are not exacting as re-
CARDS soil conditions, thriving well in
almost any arabic soil, and they en-
dure drought well and bloom profuse-
