fancy price, does not by any means
indicate that it is new A lot OF
undesirable junk is being patented
as we'll as some very fine new var
ieties I would not pay a fancy
price for any rose that l had never
seen in blossom.
Within the next few months a
good many of the readers of this
column will be enjoying vacations
along the coast. Why not spend
little of that vaction in horti-
cultural exploration among the
parks and the nurseries you will
have access to? You will find it
very much worth while. To those
who will be in the Los Angeles
area I can suggest a few places
you should see. The rose gardens
in Exposition Park, the conserva-
tories in Lincoln Park, the Cool
idge Rare Plant Gardens in Alta
dena, the Japaense Gardens IN
Hollywood, Forest Lawn Memorial
Park in Glendale, and some of the
larger commercial nurseries. And
OF course if you are in San Fran
cisco you will visit Golden Gate
Park, or if in San Diego, Balboa
! Park.
But if you are staying at home
this summer there is still oppor-
tunity for exploration. I'll bet
there are a good many varieties Of
plants growing right here in FL
Centro that you have never seen.
When you are walking or driving
along the street. make a practice
OF noticing the paintings around
the homes you pass, and if you
see garden which interests you
don't hesitate TO go in and look
il over. Mighty few amateur gar
deners would consider it an in
trusion TO have a stranger stop 10
admire his garden. Most of US
would feel highly flattered One OF
the most diversified paintings l
have seen in the valley is on the

While this is a very poor time
for planting most varieties OF
trees and shrubs, it is an excel
lent time TO decide just which
Varieties you wish 10 plant next
winter The fresh, new foliage OF
the deciduous plants is at its best
now, and many of the Towering
trees and shrubs are in blossom.
Sc let's keep our eyes open as We
go about this summer and take a
few horticultural notes for future
reference. II is especially desirable
TO make your selections of roses
for next seasons planting from OBJ
serYations made while the roses
are in bloom. Selections made
from nursery catalogue descrip-
tions are apt TO prove disappoint-
ing. Advertising men are notori-
ously optimistic about the wares
they are trying to sell, and those
who write the descriptions in nur-
sery catalogues are no exception
to the rule. 1t is not unusual to
see all the superlatives in the die
tionary used in describing a really
mediocre variety of plant.
A word of warning should also
be given about the patented var
ieties of plants which are being
sold for fancy prices now. Under
the comparatively new federal
plant patent law, anyone discov-
ering or propagating hitherto un
known variety Of plant may secure
federal patent which will give
him the exclusive right to propa-
gate and sell that plant. Many
such patented plant varieties are
now appearing upon the market,
especially roses, and the usually
sell for prices three or four times
as high as the unpatented Varie-
ties. II is a good law which Sc
cures TO the plant propogator the
fruit Of his labor, and some OF
the new patented plants are very
good. To those who are able to pay
premium for something new they
are no doubt worth the money
But the fact that a variety has
been patented and sells for q

BUILDING
ACTIVITY
IMPROVES

Building activity in California
continued to show Improvement
during April, according to the bus
mess review for that month just
published by Bank of America.
Permits issued in 80 representa-
tive cities of the state were valued
at $15,911, ,223, q gain of SO per cent
over March, although still 6.9 per
cent below the high level of April,
1887.
Residential building in California
during April was at its best level
since May, 1887, according TO the
review. Eleven principal cities re-
ported permits valued at $6,433 900
an increase of 3 per cent over
March. On the basis Of new FILA
loan applications it is indicated
that residential building operations
will not experience the same sharp
contraction in tne next month or

FOR COOLEY SEAT
Louisburg Report Is Frank
lin Man Might Seek
Congress Office

Information reaching here today
was that Willie Lee Lumplxin, veteran
of several sessions of the General AS.
sembly, and who managed the guber.
Material campaign of DR.. Ralph w
Mcdonald in 1886, is seriously con
sidering entering the congressional
campaign in the fourth district a.
gainst Congressman Harold D. Cooley,
of Nashville.
The story is that Lumpkin's ''many
friends in the fourth district" are
urging him to run against Mr.. Cooley
It is argued in his favor that he is
we'll equipped for the place, and that
the reputation he made in manage
ment of the Mcdonald campaign and
contacts he established during that
fight would stand him in well as a
campaigner. It is claimed that III
could go a long way if able to pro-
duce results in his own behalf of pro
portions as those coming from the Nc
Donald campaign. 1t is pointed out
further, that the fourth district was
carried by a large margin for Nc
Donald.
Lumpkin is quoted as making the
statement only this week that he is
giving the request of his friends seri-
Gus consideration and may make for
NAL announcement soon"
The fourth district extends over a
wide sweep of the central part of the
State, embracing the counties OF
Vance, Franklin Pumpkins home)
Nash (Cooleys home) Wake, John
ston, Chatham and Randolph.
Information received here this week
was the first of a definite nature that
Lumpkin was seriously considering
opposing Congressman Cooley. The
reports refer to 'the split Mr.. Cooley
has in his home county," but the latter
is not elaborated upon. Judge Walter
Bone, of Nashville, named last year
to judgeship by Governor Hoey, and
