HORTICULTURE!

Referring to the roses again, it is 

 interesting to note that many varie- 

 ties in Standards flourish as well as 

 in England and France. The free 

 flowering Hybrid Teas are planted in 

 ro\\s between trees, and between the 

 sidewalk and curbstone, producing 

 large bushy specimens i to 5 feet high 

 and of same diameter, and were in full 

 bloom at middle September. Retiuo- 

 sporas grow in perfect symmetrical 

 specimens twenty feet high, the box 

 elder — thirty feet high, and in perfect 

 foliage. 



The Puget Sound country has every 

 advantage for the development of 

 plants, flowers, and seeds; while its 

 location would lead one to think it 

 was of the Alaskan climate, lying 

 north of Quebec and Duluth, yet it is 

 four degrees south of London, and os 

 the British Isles are tempered by the 

 (3ulf Stream, this north-west country Is 

 influenced by the Japan current which 

 is 400 miles wide. There is neither 

 extreme heat nor cold, nor disastrous 

 lightning and storms. The wild flora 

 of this belt of country is very exten- 

 sive; it is interesting to botanists be- 

 cause of the thorough development of 

 all plants and flowers.
