 To make America one great gar den as England is every home a gar den.
 To create an American style of gardening, instead of copying Europe literally.
 To have American plants dominant , in every landscape, instead of foreign ones
 To use permanent materials every where. instead of temporary ones. To propagate all kinds of plants here instead of wasting millions on evergrecns. etc. propagated in the in compatible climate of England.
 TO develop a passion for privacy and art and kill our passion for show.

LEAVE CUBA ALONE.

I do not myself regard the experi-
 ment of an autonomous republic in Cuba, hazardous as it is and must be,
 as necessarily doomed to failure. Every year that it continues to exist adds something to its chance of longevity and makes the Cubans realize more clearly the conditions that must be observed if it's life is to be prolonged The one thing that will infallibly bring about it's collapse is the adoption by the American peo- pie and the American government of too rigid and censOriOus attitude toward the republic they have creat- ed If they judge the Cuban govern ment without reference to the Cuban past, if they dwell consistently on it's defects and fail to acknowledge it's
