Gloire de Dijon and Marechal Niel Roses 
Can you tell me anything about two 
roses, Gloire tie Dijon and Marechal Niel, 
their origin anti age? Both Teas, prob¬ 
ably P. 6. w. 
Meredith, N. Y. 
Gloire tie Dijon is a climbing Tea. It 
was introduced by Jacotot, a French am¬ 
ateur, In 1S53. We do not know any¬ 
thing of Jacotot, and this is the only 
rose credited to him. It is a beautiful 
rose, and is said to be the hardiest of the 
Teas. It is a useful climbing rose in a 
milder climate than our Northern States. 
Marechal Niel is a Noisette rose. The 
Noisette or Champaey family of roses is 
of American origin. John L'bampney of 
Charleston, S. C„ fertilized the White 
Musk rose with the Blush China or Ben¬ 
gal. From this cross he raised a variety 
called Cbnmpney’s Pink Cluster. Philippe 
Noisette, a Charleston florist, raised a 
blush variety from Champney’s Pink 
Cluster, and sent this to his brother, 
Louis Noisette of Paris, about. 1817. No 
credit was given to Mr. Chnmpney, the 
originator of the family, and those roses 
have thus been wrongfully credited to 
Noisette. Later varieties were crossed 
with Teas, and are thus less hardy, and 
have also lost their habit of blooming in 
clusters. Marechal Niel was sent out by 
a French grower. Pradel. in 1864. It is 
the only rose with which he is credited, 
but it is widely considered the best 
Noisette and one of the most beautiful 
roses ever sent out. It is believed to 
have been raised from Isabella Gray, 
which was sent out by Andrew Gray in 
1854. 
Useful Shoulder Yoke 
For the information of II. L. II.. page 
1065, I would say that while shoulder 
yokes have always been used in this sec¬ 
tion, they were always homemade, to fit 
the man who used them. The picture 
Carrying Sap iciih Shoulder Yoke 
shows an old subscriber gathering sap in 
a rough sugar orchard, taken March, 
1022. The yoke was made with draw- 
shave and gouge on I lie job. o. E. w. 
Connecticut. 
The Cornel or Cornelian Cherry 
Will you find out for me about an old- 
time flower called cornel or some name 
like that? g. u. i». 
Sag Harbor, N. A. 
The name cornel is loosely applied to 
a number of shrubs and plants belonging 
to the dogwood family, botanieally Por¬ 
tal*. The common cornel or cornelian 
cherry is Corn ns mas, a shrub or small 
tree native to the Orient and Southern 
Europe. It is very ornamental, with yellow 
flowers in Spring and conspicuous scarlet 
fruits in Autumn. The native dwarf 
cornel or bunCliberry, Cornus Canadensis, 
is a dainty little plant, having its group 
of tiny flowers in the center of four large 
white bracts, the whole set in a circle of 
light green leaves. The flowers are suc¬ 
ceeded by n bunch of vivid scarlet berries. 
This plant grows on wooded hilltops, es¬ 
pecially in the White Mountains and 
Adirondacks, but has a wide natural 
range, extending from Maine to Califor¬ 
nia. It is one of our most charming 
woodland plants. 
"I am introducing.” a peddler began, 
"an automatic electric hairbrush-” 
"Can't you see Pm bald?” growled the 
man addressed. "Your wife, perhaps-” 
"She’s bald, too, except when she’s 
dressed up,” "Perhaps your son. sir?” 
“lie’s one month old and quite bald.” 
“Quite so.” said the peddler. “Have you 
a dog?” "Yes. a Chinese hairless poodle.” 
The peddler dived into another pocket. 
"Allow me,” lie said, "to show you the 
latest tbiug iu flypaper.”—Credit Lost. 
The Child 
is a charming story of a child taken 
from the poorhouse and reared and 
laved in a lonely farm home. The 
story was written by the "Hope Farm 
Man.” It is a book of 192 pages, in 
clear readable type, on book paper 
and handsomely bound in cloth. Simi¬ 
lar books sell now for from $1.00 
to $1.50 each. We have a stock on 
hand and wish to close them out. We 
will mail them, as long as they last, 
postpaid for 25 cents. The stock must ] 
be closed out, and we prefer to let |

Will Your Child Be Next? 
Here are some startling facts: 
“The New York State Health Depart¬ 
ment,” says a leading national farm journal, 
“has found that twenty-one percent of the 
country school children have defective vision 
as compared with five percent of city chil¬ 
dren.” 
Four times MORE eye trouble in the 
country than in the city— WHY? 
The farm journal gives its own conclusion:
