WOULD MAKE ST.
MARY THE TERMINUS

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 90,-Commis-
siorer of Commerce and Labor H. M.
Stanley is in favor of making st. Ma
rvs a prospective terminus of the Wes-
tern & Atlantic railroad, if it is eX-
fenced to the sea. Georgia now owns
four or five thousand acres Of land
opposite Marsh Point" he says, and
Marsh Point is an almost perfect pen
insula. Point Peter is now owned by
the government and it would be an
easy matter for the state to acquire
it, giving terminal facilities that would
be unequalled in the South. Georgia
already owns more than five miles of
water front opposite st. Mary's making
that place exceedingly desirable as a
terminus for the states road, or at the
very least, a point to which a branch
should be extended

LATE SUMMER WORK AMONG
THE FLOWERS
BY HELEN WATTS M'VEY.

For the window garden get only
plants adapted to such conditions, or
that have been especially prepared for
winter blooming
Keep them growing, shifting into
larger pots as they grow, and do not
allow them to blossom during the fall.
Old geraniums that have bloomed all
summer will not bloom in the window
garden. Root young plants, or get
them of the florist and get the sorts
that take kindly to house conditions.
Keep them in pots with not too
rich soil and plunge the pots in some
shady place with a good light. Pinch
out all buds.
Cutting of hard-wooded plants
should be started to roofing il. mid
summer, when the new growth begins
plant can be propagated by slippiEgs
or cuttings with proper treatment
The cuttings should be four or five
inches long and inserted three inches
in sand and kept wet and partly shad-
ed and out of the way of the wind I'M
til the roots are formed.
They are slower to start than soft
wood plants, but seldom fail IL cut
tings are given the proper treatment.
In planting window garden, decide
what you want-fiowers or foliage;
then work out your plans
Many plants will not bloom for an
amateur, no matter what care is given.
while others will bloom in spite Of

ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties some Of them may be
kept blooming nearly the entire sum-
mer. The daisy is really not domes-
ticated flower, as great many low
growing wild flowers are called daisies.
Many varieties are classed as weeds.
In fact, the ox-eyed daisy, which is
plentiful all through New England and
some of the northern states. is called
white-weed.
The chrysanthemums and wild as
ters are called daisies and really be-
long to the same family.
While it would not be possible per-
haps to have daisy hedge in bloom
all the year, still by planting the vari-

be had from April to November.

DAISIES EVERY MONTH IN
YEAR

In the mild climate Of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around
In California these flowers grow
very much larger than those Of the
East, as do all Pacific coast flowers
but they seem to lack brilliancy, and
to many persons are not as satisfac-
tory.
Luther Burbank developed the Shas-
ia daisy to very large and beautiful
flower and this is largely taking the
place of the Marguerite or Paris daisy
which has long been a favorite with
Californians
In the colder climates, of course, ii
is impossible to keep daisies bloom.

hardships. Some plants will not
bloom for anyone, under the condi-
tons offered indoors.
Begin with holding water from your
Gala lilies now, and by the middle OF
August the plant should be dry. Put
it away in the cellar until the begin
ming of September, when it may be
given rich soil, watered, gradually in
creasing the amount, using water
hand hot, and when we'll started in
growth give it the lightest place you
can.
If mildew attacks your plants, dust
with sulphur while the dew is on; do
this at the first sign of it. Digging
sulphur in about the roots is said to
prevent the disease. 1t is an ugly
thing to handle.
