"A BRIGHT LITTLE PAPER." 



The Floral World (December 

 number, 1902) comes to us bright and 

 interesting in pen-pictures, actual experi- 

 ences of its numerous subscribers. So 

 real are they that we can see the snow- 

 drop, the violet, and the frail wind flower, 

 and hear the zephyrs whisper as they play 

 among the leaves and branches in the 

 numerous gardens. We see the tall rubber 

 plant, the woody palms ; we almost help 



at the fall planting of roses. We are there 

 with the oleanders on Sullivan's Island, 

 and help at planting carnations and in the 

 decorating of the log-cabin in the church. 

 The pelargoniums, cacti, day-lily, and 

 calla and numerous others, we see them 

 all. We stand beneath the lilies and gaze 

 in rapt, wondering admiration into the 

 deep corolla of the lilium auratum vatta- 

 tum rubrum. As we look long into the 

 heart of those clear, waxy, white bells, 

 spotted and striped with crimson, our 

 admiration turns from idle curiosity and 

 our hearts fill with prayer and praise of 

 the great Creator, who hath given us so 

 bountifully of all things good ; and we 

 stoop in our worshipping to caress the 

 deep-eyed, pleading pansy, modestly 

 groping at our feet. Long live The 

 Floral World. It will ever be a wel- 

 come visitor in our home.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS AND POMPONS. 



May I tell how I succeeded with chrys- 

 anthemums? In one bed six feet by 

 three, made on the south side of the 

 porch, I planted a background of tall- 

 growing white chrysanthemums and bor- 

 dered them with very dark and red pom- 

 pons. 



On the east side of the porch steps I 

 made a bed which curved past the end of 

 the porch, taking in the angle between 

 the house and the porch. In this I 

 planted one pink cosmos and two white 

 ones, with tall yellow, white and pale 

 pink chrysanthemums in the foreground. 

 I bordered this bed with pale pink pom- 

 pons fading into white. Across the porch 

 ran a vine of cobea scandens which I 

 raised from seed. 



The soil is clay, to which I added leaf 

 mold and old decayed manure from the 

 cow stable. I plant my tall-growing bed-
