Valued Morgan’s Acquaintance.
Pierpont Morgan’s direct, blunt
way overrides most people, but one
man, a Wall street broker, got de-
cidedly the better of him in a verbal
Encounter. P he broker had failed
in an exceedingly shady fashion,
and Mr. M .rgan had been “let in”
for something like $40,000. But
the broker continued to bow to his
victim ' 'ough nothing of the
kind had occurred. One morning
the millionaire said to him in his
very sternest tones: “See here, Mr.
Soandso, you owe me $40,000 and
you’re able to pay, but I’ll let you
off if you will cease to recognize
me when we meet.” “Why” my
dear Mr. Morgan,” was the suave
and smiling reply, “I would not
deny myself the pleasure you refer
to for twice the sum named.” It
is said to be a fact that since that
brief conversation Mr. Morgan ha?
warmly returned the broker’s salu-
tation, though he never did so pre-
viously.
A NEW SWEET CHERRY.
•The Tan, From the Same Source M
the Xo tv Well Known Bins.
So experienced a pomologist as H. E.
Van Deman presents the Yan in Rural
New Yorker as one of the latest and
best of many varieties of sweet cher-
ries originated by S. Lewelling, a de-
voted experimenter with fruits in Ore-
gon. It is from the same source as the
Bing, whicl is now quite well distrib-
uted and fast winning its way in+o
popular favor. The cherry is not small,
as may be seen by the two sectional
views that show the edge and side ef
the seed. In size the Yan may be
called a large cherry. The shape is de
A Dandy for Burns.
Dr. Bergin, Haoa. 111., writes:
“I have used Ballard’s Snow
Liniment; always recommended
it to my friends, as I am confi-
dent there is no better made. ‘It
is a dandy for b rns.’ Those
who live on farms are especially
liable to many accidental cuts,
bruises, burns, which heal rapid
ly when Ballard’s Snow Linir
ment is applied. It should al
ways be kept in the house for
cases of emergency.” 25c, 50c,

cldediy conical, and each fruit has a
distinct suture on one side only. Its
color is dark purplish red outside, flesh
being streaked and flecked with light
red, and it is very firm. Mr. Van De-
man finds no cherry known to him that
is better able to endure long shipment
than this seems to be. The flavor if#
very mild subacid, but not so much so
as properly to be called sweet. To his
taste it is excellent, having a very dis-
tinct cherry flavor. The stone is none
too large for so large a cherry.
Geraniums In the House.
Single and double geraniums are
among the best winter bloomers. But
do not expect geraniums to bloom in
winter without plenty of sunshine and
warmth. They will grow and make
thrifty plants in a cool room with very
little sunshine, but bloom under such
conditions? Oh, no!
A GOOjD GARDEN FLOWER.
The GaiJlarfiia a Handsome, Hardy
Annual, Fine For Catting.
Though the gaillardia is one of the
showiest of flowers and sure to attract
the attention and gain the admiration
of all who see it for the first time, it is
seldom found in gardens, undoubtedly
because it is so little known. It is a
native of our southern states and com-
monly called the blanket flower. Since
the florists have taken it in hand it has
been greatly improved, and there are
now numerous named varieties. The
flowers are large, oftenmeasuring
three and a half inches in diameter,
and gracefully poised on long stems,
which makes them very fine for cut-
ting. The colors are gorgeous, crim-
son, scarlet, orange and yellow blend-
ing to make a brilliant show.
The gaillardia is a strong grower
and constant bloomer, beginning to
flower in June and continuing until se-
vere frosts. The 1st of November last
year some blossoms still lingered. It
will grow in almost any soil and posi-
tion, but responds freely to liberal fer-
tilizing and endures the hot, dry sum-
mer better than most plants. There
are both double and single varieties.
The former are shoVvy and interesting,
but the latter are generally the most
admired.
For massing or planting in groups in
the hardy border tbe gaillardia is un-
surpassed for decorative effect. If one
does not wish to wait for seeds tq
grow, plants can be obtained of dea<
ers. If protected in the winter with
light litter, clumps will last for several
years.
If you have never cultivated the
gaillardia, be sure to try it the com-
ing season. It is truly worthy of high
praise and sure to please you.—Vick’s.
MUSKMELON VARIETIES.
Nortliern and Sonthern Kinds Thai
Are Well Likzed.
While the introduction of the now fa
mous Rocky Ford melon put the in-
dustry of cantaloupe growing on a
commercial basis in Georgia, this re-
gion.. like nearly every other, has also
a number of favorite varieties for local
market. Foremost among these, as il-
FOR FRUIT TREES.
How to Make the Popnlar Califov**
ilia Wash. Spray.
The “California wash” for spraying
fruit trees has undoubtedly made a
great leap into the favor of eastern
and southern horticultural authorities
and promises to be much used this sea-
son.
Formulas for the California wash
have varied considerably, and as it is
possible that conflicting statements
concerning its value may be due in
part to these variations in composi-
tion the following description of the
wash used by the Illinois experiment
station will have its value. The mix-
ture was made as follows: Fifteen
pounds of stone lime were slaked in a
kettle over a fire. Fifteen pounds Of
sulphur were sifted or stirred in as
the lime was slaking, these materials
being boiled vigorously until the lime
and sulphur were entirely dissolved,
usually something over an hour, and
fifteen pounds of salt were then put in,
and the whole was boiled a quarter of
an hour longer. Enough hot water
was added to make fifty gallons, and
the mixture was sprayed while warm
through a nozzle with a large cap for
a coarse spray. When the material
first dried on the tree, it gave the bark
a saffron yellow color, which changed
in twenty-four hours to a dull green
and then gradually faded to a green-
ish gray.
A PRETTY BASKET PLANT.
Tke Dainty Pink Oxalis—Easy ta
Grow and Flowers Profnsely.
A very pretty basket plant which is
almost hardy is Oxalis rosea floribun-
j da, one of the best of the sorrels, with
a profusion of flowers in bright pink,
which it produces for some weeks In
the early summer. This is a very easy
plant to manage and can be gnown
without heat, for it is almost dormant
during the winter, when it can be kept
in any place just free from frost. It

Whale Oil Soap.
For destroying scale insects whale oil
soap should be used at the rate of one
pound to five gallons of water. For
soft bodied insects a much weaker so-
lution gives excellent results. This
class of insects will yield readily to
a mixture of one pound to ten gallons
of water.
Fruit and Flower Notes.
The state entomologist of Massachu*
setts finds the San Jose scale scattered
so widely over the state of Massachu-
setts that he is doubtful about its ever
being eradicated.
The growing of edible nuts continues
to attract increased attention.
jWhen mulching berry bushes, small
fruit plants and the like, do it with a
generous hand.
Chrysanthemums are gross feeders.
Wire screens or strips of lathe will
protect the young trees from jack rab-
bits.
Plants of all kinds which require pro-
tection during winter should hava It
not later than December.

OXALIS ItOSEA FLORIBUNDA.
should not, however, be dried off en-
tirely at any time, although it needs
but little water during the colder part
of the year, and it should be divided
and repotted as soon as there are fresh
signs of growth in the spring. Plenty
of sunshine is desirable for it when it
blooms, when it will require an ample
supply of water, and after blooming
tbe oxalis should stand in the open air
for the autumn months. Any good or-
dinary compost of loam, leaf mold,
soot and sand will suit it, adding a
little old manure if the loam be poor.

Manuring Roses.
Plants growing in well prepared
quarters do not require the roots dis-
turbed annually by digging in large
quantities of manure among them, but
judiciously applied top dressings are of
the utmost advantage. Bone manure is
applied by taking a little of the sur-
face soil from around the stem and
shaking a handful or two over the
roots and then returning the soil. Very
fine rose growths and blooms may be
produced in this way. Many persons
think their roses will degenerate if the
whole of the surface near them is not
deeply forked or dug and much nat-
ural manure added every spring, but
nothing is gained by disturbing the
roots very much.
Sweet Scented Shrubs.
Most of our readers are acquainted
with that gem of our old fashioned
gardens, the “sweet shrub.” There is
another species known to common flow-
er lovers as Chinese spicebush. It is a
native of Japan and is most delightful-
ly scented. Though the plant is per-
fectly hardy in the Atlantic portion of
Our country, it will send forth its blos-
soms under the first warm winter’s
sun only to have them killed by the
next day’s cruel frost.
The knowing ones, however, cut the
twigs before the' buds open and place
them in water in a warm room, when
they seem to open as contentedly as if
on the bush in the open air. They fiC
the air with fragrance for a whole
week after opening.

The Gano is claimed to be a “preco-
cious” apple, coming into bearing very
early.
Cultivation is said to be the remedy
for the grape root worm in vineyards.
The Cornell authorities say many in-
fected vineyards need to be fed, and
they suggest a “balanced ration” for
that purpose.
Every kind of fruit and, in fact,
nearly every variety of the same kin<’
needs a different method of penning.

and plums should be grafted early.

Setting? Young? Grapevines.
The best time for setting young
grapevines is in April or May, says the
Boston Cultivator. Those who propa-
gate their own vines from cuttings
should take them from new wood in
the fall and either pack them in moist
sand or moss to remain during the
winter or heel them in as soon as cut,
leaving one or two buds below the sur-
face, from which roots will start, and
two buds above the surface. They will
be fit to transplant when those buds
show signs of life. The young vines
may be allowed small stakes to climb
od the first two years, and the trellis
need not he set until about the third
pear after She vines are cut,
Cunint Cutting*.
Currants are easy to propagate by
cuttings. These are mads five to eight
laches long from wood of the current
year’s growth up to the time the
ground frewes. They are tied in bun-
dles and burled until spring In a dry
place or where the water will not
Stand. As soon as the ground is in good
condition plant in a well prepared bed,
leaving about two buds above ground.
