Beautiful FLAG Flower.

Among the stateliest and proudest
of the members of Americas flower
family none excels the larger blue
flag, which also wears the names OF
blue iris and feur-de-lis. Ruskin calls
1t the Flower of Chivalry, which has
a sword for its leaf and lily for it's
heart. Longfellow pronounces it "a
fiower born in the purple, to Joy ana
pleasance." 1t blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow, from May to
July, and finds its home from New
foundlald and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
its propagation, par cularjy 70 the

Trick of the Lemon Growers.

By an interesting yet simple method
two crops of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year, though the sec
ond is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit is known as the Yer
deli lemon and is marketed during the
summer months. The Verdelli lemon,
green in color, grows contemporaneous-
ly on the same trees with the ordinary
or yellow lemon of commerce and is
obtained by the following method: The
lemon tree, which flowers in April, is
kept without water from that period
until July, when the roots are heavily
flooded for a time. This results in a
second set of blossoms, from which
will come the Verdelli lemons. The
ordinary lemon crop is picked in the
months beginning with October, but
the Verdelli lemons do not mature
until the next May.-Argonaut.
