to the cultivation of Musa Ensete and 

 other large-leaved plants in the open 

 ground. Among the plants suitable for 

 this w ork are : Alocasia macrorhiza varie- 

 gata; Cyperus Papyrus, the Egyptian 

 paper plant, a very interesting plant and 

 one that should be in every water garden, 

 especially where the lotus is grown; Cy- 

 perus alternifolius, the umbrella plant, 

 which does well in shallow water or 

 planted in the borders ; Musa Ensete, the 

 Abyssinian banana, one of the best trop- 

 ical plants to use for this purpose, a noble 

 subject and of easy culture; Eatsiapapy- 

 rifera, the Japanese paper plant, a beau- 

 tiful plant, which will survive the win- 

 ters in this locality if planted in a shel- 

 tered location. 



Colocasia esculenta and Colocasia ar- 

 borea are also desirable subjects for the 

 tropical border. Some of the xanthoso- 

 mas are vei-y useful, such as violaceum, 

 with its beautiful colored stems, and 

 sagittifolium, which has a large leaf, 

 with a beautiful metallic luster that 

 makes it very attractive. All of the can- 

 nas work in well with the plants named, 

 especially Canna Eh^ianni, robusta and 

 musafolia. 



At the Water's Edge. 



It will add much to the beauty of the 

 natural or semi-natural pond or str^m 

 to plant the edges with some o^ fne 

 hardy herbaceous plants. These plants 

 should be set in colonies, several of one 

 variety together, whenever space is at 

 command to allow of this being done. 

 Many of them, such as acorus, typha, 

 juncus, peltandra, sagittaria and ponte- 

 deria, caii be placed on the edge of the 

 bank and allowed to extend out into the 

 pond in the shallow water.

A few of the many plants useful for 

 the edges are Arundo Donax, Acorus 

 Calamus variegatus, Bocconia cordata, 

 Buphthalmum speciosum. Digitalis pur- 

 purea (especially in the shade of the 

 trees), Helenium autumnale, Hemerocal- 

 lis fulva and flava. Hibiscus Moscheutos, 

 militaris and Crimson Eve; also the 

 splendid hybrids of Meehan's Iris aurea, 

 Caroliniana and especially the laevigata, 

 or, as they are better known, the 

 Ka?mpferi, which delight in such a loca- 

 tion ; there is nothing in hardy plants 

 that can rival them in the gorgeous col- 

 ors of the flowers. Lobelia cardinalis 

 and syphilitica should be planted freely. 

 Peltandra undulata, Pontederia cordata, 

 rudbeckias, sagittarias, scirpus, Spirea 

 Aruncus, and the typhas, rhododendrons, 

 kalmias, also the sarracenias, especially 

 purpurea and flava, should be planted. 

 Places will be found for many of our 

 beautiful native ferns, and they should 

 be used freely wherever suitable locations 

 can be got for them. The osmundas are 

 especially attractive at the water edge. 

 The hay-scented fern, Dennstaedtia punc- 

 tilobula, is a beautiful one and thrives

ERIE, PA. 



The Memorial day rush has come and 

 gone and the Erie florists and their em- 

 ployees have survived it. Trade was ex- 

 cellent and the work was heavy. Cut 

 flowers and bedding stock were at a pre- 

 mium towards the last of the week. Car- 

 nations were not equal to the demand. 

 Gladioli and Harrisii lilies were seen in 

 some of the stores, and with the ever 

 beautiful hydrangea blossoms in great 

 profusion, the stores never looked pret- 

 tier.
