IN SEARCH OF BLUE ROSE
Modern Hortlculturlst Has Very High
Ambitions, Says England's Pre-
mler Gardener.

To find a blue rosel That is the
great ambition of the modern garden
er, according to Sir Harry Veitch,
England's premier gardener, who was
recently knighte6 by the king, and the
honor was well deserved, for no
one in the world has worked more in
defatigably for the development Of
horticulture, and no one has made
more important discoveries. Indeed,
in the course of his fifty years of
business the gardening knight has in
troduced into this country many hun
dreds Of plants.
For four generations his family has
been associated with the romance Of
flowers-the late Mr.. James Veitch
was described as 'the first nursery
man of his day'-and it was the
Veitchs who began the policy of ran
sacking the world, especially the
Equatorial world, for orchids and
studied the reproduction and cross fer
tilization Of foliage plants. Early in
life Sir Harry made it his aim to be-
come a sort of universal provider in
the gardening world, and for years he
has had travellers in all parts of the
globe searching for rare plants.
Curiously enough, he considers that
China is one Of the most wonderful
fields for work of this sort, and he
mentions the fact that one of his trav-
elers has lately come back from the
celestial land after three years trip,
In the course Of which he got as far as
Thibet and had to struggle for life
with four bandits to preserve his spe.
cimens. The risk these travellers run
for unknown flowers are often very
great, and sometimes expeditions
prove very disappointing. ut is fas-
cinating work, however," says Sir
Harry, land has often led flower
searchers into corners Of the world
which have never been trodden before
by white men,"

WHERE SEDAN CHAIR IS USED
The 3-Century-OId Vehicle Is Still Seen
ON May Day in knutsford,
England.

The news that there is woman still
living who rode in Sedan chair is a
reminder of the fact that there is one
town in England where a Sedan chair
is still used. 1t Is at Knutsford, in
Cheshire-the Crawford" of Mrs.
GaskeA Every May day Knutsford
arrays itself in gala attire. Sports are
held on the village green, the May
queen is elected and crowned, and
in order that no. aspect of antiquity
should be missing-the Sedan chair is
produced.
Whatever may have been absolutely
the latest date at which Sedan chair
was used, the chair, at any rate, had
longer life than most forms of public
conveyance. For 1t appeared in Eng
land as early as 1881, and in London
fifty years later, when Sir Francis Dun.

High School Hike

The Greater Vermont Association
has received many letters from
school masters who heartily approve
of the proposed vacation Greater
Vermont Pilgrimage for High, School
pupils. A circular letter to the
SchoOlmasters of Vermont contained
this inquiry: Twill it be possible to
supplement the High School Wash
ington trips by summer vacation
trips through Vernon by auto, by
train, or on foot?" The following
selections from letters show that the
High School men of Vermont en-
Enthusiastically endorse the proposal
of the Association:
Il believe that such trips in our
own State would do our young
people more good than any trip to
Boston OF Washington"
Martin G. Benedict st. Johnsbury.
Il shall be glad to cooperate with
the Association in any way that
seems feasible and desirable"

a Vermont vacation tour has won

Wnat Was happening 50
Years Ago

Messrs. Gonya and Bigelow have
sold the steamer Magic" to Capt.
Averiil Of Westmorc; price $500. VI e
are sorry thqt his boat should leave
our beautiful little lake, but when
we consider the amour. of patron
age the proprietors received, we
cannot blame them for thus dispos-
ing of it.
A number of the members of the
NJ. E. Society assembled at the par
sonage last Friday evening and pre-
scented their pastor, Rev. w. |. Todd,
with a handsome scrap cabinet case,
procured from Illinois. The present
alton was made by Mr.. M. Mansur
and feelihgly acknowledged by the
recipient. Music and other pleasant
exercises followed, all present heart

Certain of our citizens delight in
hunting and fishing on the Sabbath,

Memorial Day will be more extens-
lively observed in the Department of
Vermont this year than ever before.
The large increase in Grand Army

growth of public sentiment of late
years in favor of more general OBJ

tributed to make the memorial
anniversary more notable than form

Prehistoric Dinosaurs Found,


What is believed to be an important
find Of hitherto undiscovered species
and genera Of prehistoric land reptiles
has just been made Twelve fossils
or skeletons Of dinosaurs, among them
two complete brontosaurs-the largest
animals that have ever lived-were
unearthed from the side of a cliff nine
miles north Of Jansen, Utah, in what
was, in distant ages, a river; as the
cobbles, mussel shells, and sand en-
vironing the bones showed. Besides
these specimens Of the extinct bronto-
saurus fossil, remains Of several stego-
saurus specimens were also brought
to light. These, Mr.. Hartley NJ. Phelps
tells us, are very rare. The stegosau-
rus was the most grotesqque animal
that ever existed. The brontosaurus
often attained a length C 80 feet, but
1t had small head. Its neck and tail
were short. Like the stegosaurus, it
lived by eating succulent herbs. 1t
had powerful legs, 10 feet or so in
length. The diplodocus measured 70
feet long, had an immense body, pow.
erful legs, and an enormously long tail
and long neck, but a small head. 1t
lived in swamps and ate waterweeds.
Its remains have only been found on
the slopes Of the Rocky mountains.
