Wild Geranium.


Over the swales and meadows and
beneath the trees now richly leafing
out, the wild geranium is spangling
the grass under foot. Ankle deep
and knee high, these pretty plants
grow thickly in lush places, 50 thick
ly that the passer cannot avoid
crushing some of their frail, pale
blossoms.
The special charm of the wild
geranium is its symmetry, the
flve-rounded petals of lilac purple or
magenta pink, and the ten anthers
OF delicate blue. When picked, the
wild geranium has a somewhat sick
ly appearance in the house-it is in
clined to droop sadly, and the colors
are not sufficiently vivacious to make
pleasing bouquet. But in the woods
the translucent flowers have the
ephemeral charm of the light dews
that cover them of a bright May
morning.
The wild geraniums, 1t must be con-
fessed, does not much resemble the
cultivated one. But, to be exact, our
wild species Is the true geranium;
the cultivated plants, so gay and
aromatic. are really pelargoniums,
cousins in the same family. They
come, for the most part, from Africa.
The wild geranium takes it's other
name of Cranesbill from it's long,
bill-lfke fruits, that, when the seeds
are ripe, split open from the bottom
upward, the valves curling back in a
curious and fanciful way. Before the
seeds can ripen, however, the wild
geranium must be fertiliZed by bees,
butterflies or bee-like flies. 1t is i'm
possible for the geranium to fertilize
itself, as do some plants, as the pol
len ripens and the anthers fall away
before the female parts of the flower
have matured. So arbitrary are Ma
lures laws.

I was glad to be in the water and
forgot about its color in my anxiety
to rid myself of the barbero's bar
berousness. We disported ourselves
in the muddy river much to the
amusement of the natives who lined
the shore, and to whom, evidently
water was strange and foreign thing
| TO be avoided at all cost. / have begun
to think that they call this river "El
Tigre" because they are afraid of it.
/ know that we were the only folks

degrees.
We returned to Buenos Aires after
a delightful day. We were hot and
hungry. We stopped first at a cafe
the Spanish speaking people 'Higgy
called the High Life-pronounced by
Leafy." We paid our respects to the
dear departed Father of his Country
San Martin, by ordering a San Martin
Secco and then decided to dine at the
Restaurant Conte.
But Maggie said no. ."Why?" ]
asked.
"I would be pleased to dine with
you, but you must remember That
b. A. is not the Bronx. If L should
stay out to take dinner with you folks
tonight l would be compelled to move
from my home in the morning by the
strict Argentine family l am living

Fiftieth Day.

Ell TIGRE, Argentina, March 10
In the Holy Land they were called
"apples of the eye" and everything
is peaches" down in Georgia, but in
Buenos Aires, if you wish to pay a
senorita a compliment, you will call
her sweet potato" Do not laugh.
"Patata'-meaning sweet potato"
is deservedly complimentary. Why
shouldn't it be? Consider the value
of the lowly potato. 1t has been worth
more to the world than all the gold
and silver Of it's mounainsideS, and
surely any maiden in any land would
prefer her swanking swain to call her
a patata instead of peach-which
blooms and fades so quickly.
We go to lei Tigre' today. The
Rio Tigre is the fashionable boating
resort of B. A. 1t is dotted with
islands covered with trees, gardens
and green meadows, and along the
shore are pretty hotels and restau-
rants with music and -other attrac-
tionS.

Scenting the Dahlia.

IT think the dahlia might well be
called responsive, SO much and so
easily does it vary" I said.
Yes" answered Mr.. Burbank. Its
variation has been caused not only
by being transplanted, but by repeated
crossings of the different species with
each other.
MY own experiments have been
chiefly with the cactus dahlia and l
have raised hundreds of thousands of
them and have produced some beauti-
full varieties by crossing the cult
waited forms with the Mexican wild
species. especially dahlia Maximiliana.
"Is il ever possible to have dahlias
come true from seed?'
They seldom do said Mr.. Bur
bank, 'as like all specialized and long
cultivated flowers they have been
moved about so much and have been
crossed so often that our cultivated
seedlings always show wide range
of variation. Darwin mentions a
case where there were eighteen
varieties produced from the seed of
one plant alone, and only last season
more than a hundred distinct varieties
were produced from my Oakland

But the dahlia has no fragrance, 2"

No" said Mr.. Burbank, com
posite flowers such as the dahlia
seldom have need of perfume to at
tract insects; they depend on the
bright fringe of petals around the tiny
blossoms in the center; these are their
more common form of advertising.
Il have tried to remedy this lack
said Mr.. Burbank, "and have sue
ceeded in producing a fragrant
dahlia, but at the expense of form
and color. However, further expert
ments will overcome this difficulty"
How did you do this, Mr.. Bur-
bank?"
Just as with the fragrant Gala.
First search was made among many
seedlings for a dahlia having a faint
trace of perfume. and finally one was
