"A Jessamine may be almost
any flower in existence, especi-
ally as applied by some people, if
it be sWeet-scented. In literature
it has become almost as popular
and as general as Myrtle and Ivy.
Even then florists catalogues,
which should be public instrllc-
tors, in many cases hopelessely
smuddle Jessamines, Gardenias,
Cestrums and other plants First
there are the Gardenias, popu-
uarly known as Cape Jessamine,
though the name is a misnonner
the common species. Gardenia
florida, having been introduced,
it is said, from China in 1854 and
named in honor of DR.. Alexander
Garden of Charleston, s. c. This
species is well known every
where. In the South it has been
popular for years as it is per-
fectly hardy throughout the
lower southern states
/ DR.. Henry Nehrling. noted bot
anist and plant breeder, wrote of
Gardenias as follows:
THE real Gardenia or Cape
Jasmine is now called Gardenia
jasminoides, though the old name
Gardenia florida is still much in
use. The Cestrums are all very
interesting and dense plants and
very floriferous. Orlando gar
dens were replete with the
Night Blooming Jasmine lCes-
trum nocturnum) when / first
saw the place in 1886. At that
time it was a home town. The
many Englishmen living there
had all planted fine gardens full
of rare plants. During many a
night, summer and winter, the
soft balmy air was heavy with
the strong delicious perfume of
the Night Blooming Jasmine.
The flowers are light green and
are produced four or five times
during the year. This is valu-
BILE species for tropical gardens.
1t seems to be hardy all over the
state, and though often frozen to
the ground it soon sprouts again
from the rootstalk.
"The Carolina or Yellow Jas
mine (Gelsemium sempervirens),
our most beautiful native climb
er and one of the most exquisite
plants in existence, is real aris-
;tocrat among our woodland
plants. 1t has only good quail
ties-a noble, dense, but not an
aggressive growth, masses of de-
liciously fragrant yellow flower
trumpets and dainty, rather
small, but finely formed leaves.
LAS it flowers in February land
March it is of particular value
sThe true Jessamines are not
as often seen in our Florida gar
dens as their beauty, fragrance
and fine dense growth entities
them to be. This is a large genus
of plants. According to Bailey's
Cyciopedia of Horticulture, prob
ably upward of 200 species are
widely distributed in the warm
parts of Europe. Asia, Africa and
the Pacific region; nearly absent
from America. They belong to
the Oleaceae or Olive family"

DR.. Weizmann said that Jews

but a progressive development,
"since not one but many millions
are imperative for the survival

Jews In Sports
BY Haskell COHEN

The big news of the moment is
the trading of Sid Gordon to the
Boston Braves by the New York
Giants. All New York was
amazed at the deal and perhaps
the most surprised individual was
Sid Gordon himself who thought
he was destined to finish out his
playing days under the manage
ment of Leo Durocher. Gordon
was Durocher's type player from
a temperamental viewpoint. pos
sessing fire and fight. However.
Sid is lacking in speed of foot
and consequently. was shuffled
off to Bean City.
The trade was made by New
York in order to get the Giants
'speedier men in return for Mar
shall and Gordon, both heavy
hitters but not too fast on the
pathways and in the field.
A quick survey among Giant
fans after the deal was consum-
mated indicated that the follow
ers of the National League New
York nine were not satisfied.
Over sixty percent of the fans
queried indicated displeasure
with Leo Durocher's latest brain
storm. Undoubtedly the Giants
will suffer at the gate. inasmuch
as so much of their patronage was
from Jewish fans. Unless they
come up with another Jewish star
in the near future. you can look
for still further reductions at the
gate this coming summer.
There is no boubt that Durocher
was very sorry to let Gordon 60.
Sid was one of the few men on
the team who backed Leo's poll
cies and never gave him any
trouble. AS a matter of fact, the
Lip tried to talk Boston out
of Gordon, but Manager Billy
Southworth was adamant con-
corning the Jewish slugger. Du-
rocher called Sid to break the
news to him and explained that
