CT Ass FLOWERS

LOT marine forms in glass which have
treasured in museums.
In 1854 Leopold made models of
plants in flower. In 1862 he had COM
pleted collection Of about sixty
specimens Of orchids, modelled in
glass.
In 1886 the Blaschkas were induced
to resume the construction of plants
in flower They also constructed mod
els for zoology. Since 1890 all their
time has been given to flowers. They
used only fresh material; SO had to
obtain it close at hand from the neigh
boring greenhouses and gardens, draw
ing from the royal gardens of Saxony
and Dresden. America was drawn
upon, plants being sent to be cultivated
in the garden of the Blaschka studio.
In 1892 Rudolph Blaschka came to
America to study the fora. He made
most thorough study of plants as to
color, also made microscopic drawings
of details and of species, and took
back specimens preserved in alcohol
and dried for study. He made col
lections from all parts of our coun-
try, even the Pacific Coast. During
a second journey in 1895 he was called
home by the death of his father. The
son is still living; but so far has not
disclosed the secret of making glass
models from plants, and if he does not
before his death the art will pass
away. -Salena Sheets Martin.

In the University Museum of Har
ward is a collection of plants modelled
IN glass. It is a wonderful collection
both In size and in the beauty and &C
curacy Of the work. It includes flower
lug plants, from the simplest to the
most elaborate and complex, being
done in the natural color of the parti
GUAR flower modelled, with buds, leaves
and stems.
This is known as the Ware collec.
Leopold Blaschka, founder Of the art
was born May n, 1922, in Aloha, a
town in Northern Bohemia. His
father was mechanician in electrical
apparatus and an artificer in glass.
Leopold began work as a goldsmith,
devoting himself to cutting and setting
precious stones; but later changed his
work to metal and glass work.
= In 1853 he made voyage to the
United States in a sailing vessel, max
ing drawings of marine Invertebrates
which be collected and from which he
constructed in 1853 the first glass
models for the Natural History Mus
cum Of Dresden. These created wide
notice, and were the beginning Of a
business that was limited only be-
cause he employed no assistant but
his son.
Rudolph, the son, born in 1857, was
educated to be naturalist, and readi-
~ entered into this work with his
father. They studied and made models

into conditions at the State Hospital
for Insane, and no one who has given
the matter any thought at all will
reach any other conclusion than that
it is absolutely imperative upon the
people of the State to relieve the con-
dition now existing. Of course, there
are other things needed, but there is
nothing demanding the attention of
the people so strongly as to relieve this
congested condition, and it would be
really waste of money to spend any
more upon permanent Improvements
upon the present property, especially
in view of the fact that a large tract
of land has been purchased and con-
siderable money already spent upon
the development OF new asylum.
AS we have before remarked, there
is only one of three things for the
people of the State to do:
l. Vote the bond issue, pledging the
present property in Columbia for its
payment.
2. Continue the work of development
by direct tax.
8. Discontinue the work at the new
asylum altogether.
In considering this, the people
should remember that over 1000 acres
of land have been purchased and sew
eral buildings already erected and
equipment installed for continuing the
work, and that altogether something
like s15O,OOO have been spent. The
State can not afford at this stage to
discontinue the work.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-11-01

at this time, as it will serve to spread
weed ard grass seed. The stand of peas
should be thick in order that the weeds
and grass will not get started. In the
fall cut the peas for hay and plow
the land shallow, or it is. a light sandy
loam, discing is all that is necessary.
Apply lime again at the rate of 1000
pounds per acre, and harrow it in,
Alfalfa should not be sown on loose
and dry seed bed. Sow the seed dur
ing some moist period between the
last Of September and the middle of
October, at the rate Of % pounds per
acre broadcast, and harrow them IN
lightly. Inoculating will be necessary
and can be done either by inoculating
the seed with Farmogerm before SOW
ing, or by applying two hundred
sounds of soil from an old alfalfa field
broadcast per acre. Farmogerm will
give good results is used properly. Use
as fertilizer at the time of planting
about 200 pounds of complete fertiliz-
er. narrowing it in with the seed.
If one wishes to plant alfalfa with
out going to the trouble of starting one
year early and getting the land in
good condition, we would suggest that
land which has been in cowpeas, or
some clean cultivated crop, be used.
Break the land deep and thoroughly,
and apply lime at the rate of zoo
pounds or more per acre. Do not ap-
ply any stable manure unless it Is
thoroughly decomposed and free from
weed and grass seed. Otherwise the
sowing of the seed should be done in
the fall, the same as in the above de-
'scribed method.
In the spring, if weed and grass get
started in the field, it should be moved
AS often as necessary in order that
they do not get ahead of the alfalfa
Under no circumstances should weeds
and grass be allowed to mature seed
in the field. Where there are no weeds
and grass to give trouble, cuttings
should be made as often as the plants
are in full bloom or little before.
