A PRO-BOER LILY. 

 Mr. James Morton, Clarksville, Tenn., 

 sends us a page from the London Black 

 and White Budget of Nov. 30 last, con- 

 taining a picture of the "Pio-Boer Lily," 

 which is accompanied by two descriptions 

 tliat are very amusing. We print them 

 lielow: 



BP.ITISH VERSION. 



With the cunning of his race, a Hollander en- 

 deavored to hoodwink the British authorities 

 into naming a flower after Louis Botha, the 

 greatest enemy to British prestige In South 

 Africa. A spurious tale, together with the hulb 

 of a Illy, was sent to the curator at Kcw Gar- 

 dens to the effect that this was a lily grown by 

 Louis Botha and blossoming blood red; as this 

 was a specimen hitherto unknown to the bot- 

 anist the giver hoped that It would be named 

 after its grower. General Botha. The author- 

 ities at Kcw, however, wisely waited for the 

 flower to blossom, with the result, only to be 

 expected, that the Illy turned out to, be or a 

 species already named and by no means rare. 

 It is white with a pink rim. and though by no 

 means an unwelcome present hardly deserves 

 a separate appellation. 



PRO-BOEK VERSION. 



Even the flowers of the field protest against 

 the tyranny of this infamous Jingo govern- 

 ment. Field Marshal Louis Botha, the greatest 

 patriot the world has ever known, spends his 

 days during time of peace In growing beauti- 

 ful lilies. He has succeeded in creatmg a 

 specimen with a magnificent blood-red blossom, 

 and with his characteristic generosity present- 

 ed through the medium of a friend, a speci- 

 men to Kew Gardens. It would have been only 

 courteous to name this specimen after Field 

 Marshal Botha, but at the Jealous Instigation 

 of that tyrannous orchid grower, Joseph Cham- 

 berlain, the Kew authorities kept the flower 

 and refused to name it at all for the present. 

 Treachery, however, always meets with due le- 

 ward. and the lily, out of pure disgust, grew 

 up not red but a common pink and whit*>. 



EPIPHYLLUM TRUNCATUM. 

 (Lobster Cactus.) 



Nearly every retail greenhouse estab- 

 lishment is sure to have a few of these 

 old favorites and those who have resur- 

 rected them and brought them to the 

 front are getting good returns for their 

 trouble. A well grown and evenly flow- 

 ered plant at Christmas or New Year's 

 sells well and by many they are much 

 prized on account of their adaptability to 

 house culture. 



Though the pereskia stock is good to 

 graft on, they do well on any tall grow- 

 ing, long lived member of the cactus fam- 

 ily, the cereus section being most useful, 

 especially C. grandiflora. 



For early flowering they should do 

 their growing in the early springand be- 

 come well ripened out of doors in sum- 

 mer, after which we can soon tell how to 

 treat them by the formation of flowering 

 buds on the tips of the growths.
