Sub -Tropical Gardening. —01 late
yeah a great deal of attention lobo been
grid to this style of decorating lawns,
1t is justly gaining favor among
people of taste and refinement, Instead
of being dependent on the quantity of
bloom produced, plants ot a very diff-
erent charauter are brought into use,
such as the tanyah or caladium esoale
tum, cerins, bronze and silver-1'sve�
geraniums, coleus, oentaureaa althan-
thertas, fie, all of which are grows for
the beauty of their foliage. A oirculer
bad of about 16 feet in diameter, arrang-
ed with the following planta has a rich
and tropical appearance from the time
they are set out uutil killed by frost:
Fur the outside row centaur's candidis-
sims, a silvery -leaved plant of compact
habit and a foot high, backed by two
rows of dark leaved coleus, height, lift.
At the back of these put a row of calad-
ium esculoutum, which, with its large
dark green drooping leaves makes a fine
contrast with the dark -leaved coleus;
then fill up the centre with canna',
which will grow from four to seveu feet
high, thus forming a gradual slope from
the centre to the outside edge_ With
the exception of the canna, these plants
should not be allowed to bloom. There
are many varieties of planta not here
mentioned well worthy of attention,
bat it would be useless to attempt to
name them all, the foregoing being the
most suitable for general bedding pur-
poses.
The Stratford Beaeoa of last week in
de report of the Stratford Horticultural
Society meeting, had the following on
11DDllte PLASM,
about which Mr. W. H. Burnham gave
the following ideas:
Verbenas. —If I were confined to a
single class of planta for summer decor-
ation out of doors, the verbena would
be my choice, for in it we have • greater
range of aolor than in any other plant,
with the exception, perhaps, of the ger-
anium. In addition to this it is a plant
of trailing habit that is seldom injured
by heavy rains or strong winds, and one
of the most floriferous of the floral king-
dom It begins to bloom when only a
few inches high, and never ceases until
destroyed by frost. Most people err in
not putting this plant nut before they
do, as it will stand quite a sharp frost
uninjured, and by getting the benefit of
the cooler days and nights in the latter
part of 11*, the roots take hold of the
soil, thus enabling it to better withstand
the scorching sun during the early part
of Jane. It is also necessary, in order
to have a continuation of good bhom
throughout the summer, that the ver-
bena, in common with all other planta,
should have fresh and rich soil. It is
not particular whether it is of a clayey
or sandy nature, providing it is fresh
and well drained.
Geraniums.. -The geranium is justly
entitled to be called the queen of flow-
ers, for no plant can compare with it for
general utility. It is one of the few
planta that c in be made to bloom the
entire year. It is useful alike for the
window, the conservatory or the flower
garden. When bedded out, young
plants that are not rot -bound are much
preferable to those that have done ser-
vice in the window or greenhouse dur-
ing the winter, as it is too murk to ex-
pect a plant that has bloomed all winter
to continue to bloom freely during the
summer. The treatment recommended
for the vorbens will also spply to the
geranium, both in regard to soil and
early planting. As soon as the trusses
of bloom begin to decay they should be
cut off, for one true only, if allowed to
sed, is said to tax the recuperative
powers of a plant as much as half a doz-
en trusses of bloom will do. A plant as
usually grown in a 2i or 3 -inch pot for
bedding purposes is apt to become root -
bound. If the sane sized plant were
grown in a 4 -inch pot it would give bet-
ter mtisfaetion when bedded out, as
the roots would then be in good work-
ing order, in which state they would
take kindly to the change by throwing
out new roots at once. Nor is this all
to be gained by having the roots in good
working order, for if you transplant a
plant that is pot-bound into the open
ground, the matted ball of earth and
roots will generally resist all the water
you can give it, thus leaving the plant
to perish for want of sufficient moisture.
This, combined with the fact that most
amateur gardeners defer planting out
their geraniums until they consider all
danger of frost to be over, is in my opin-
ion the chief cause of this plant not
doing as well s+ it otherwise would if
planted out from the 20th of the 24th of
May, for after this date there is not like-
ly to be frost sufficiently hard to mater-
ially injure the geranium. As a proof
of this I would say that I have this win-
ter Fad eight degrees of frost in my ger-
anium house, but saved them all by $
copious drenching of cold water. I can-
not leave this plant without referring to
some of the variegated -leaved varieties.
Notable among these are the bronze and
silver -leaved, the former being one of
the moat sittractive plants we have,
while the latter is equally useful to con-
trast with darkleaved ooleus, Sac

John B. Gough, in the course of his
lecturing life, has found himself in some
tight places, but his wit has never failed
to bring him out safely.
An amusing story is told of him when
he went to Oxford, England, to address
the students on temperance. The stud-
ents sent word to Mr. Gough that they
"would not have temperance," end ad-
vised him not to persist in lecturing,
but he went vo the hall. For twenty
minutes he spoke in pantomime amid
the deafening cat calls of the boys.
Finally he stepped forward, demanded
British fair play, and offered to whip
evory oue of the five hundred students
singly. This offer was loudly cheered,
and promptly accepted, and a big six
foot athlete was sent up on the stage.
Gough, who is a little man, backed off
as the big fellow approached him, and
explained.
"My friends, you evidently misunder-
stand me. This is to be an intellectual
contest, not r prize-fight."
The students cheered again at!! this
evidence of American shrewdness, and
ordered the debate to proceed. The
college lad was, therefore, obliged to
discus with the temperance champion.
He was at a disadvantage, but he quoted
Scripture, and reminded the plucky
leotnrer that it was one of the Apostles
who wrote to Timothy—a young man,
too, like themselves—to take a little
wine for the stomach's sake, and for
his other infirmities. The lads shouted
vociferously at this,
Gough slowly examined the six-footer
from top to toe, and then said, "My
friends, look at this athlete, this fellow
with muscles like steel, wlio can wield
the club of Hercules, who can bend an
Etlgliih yoeman's bow, who could knock
down an oz with a blow of a hammer.
He is the personification of health and
strength, but he thinks he needs a little
wine for hie stomach's sake !"
Gough's inimitable manner of saying
this had a tremendous effect. The stud-
ents fairly yelled with delight, and their
defeated champion retreated.
Another was sent up. He was the in-
tellectual giant ""f his class, in contrad-
istinction to the six-footer. He, with
mach self-confidence, made a finished
argument for liquor drinking, based on
Christ's changing the water il.to wine at
the wedding fest. His comrades
