sefi-wtnil flower*. Guy-colored flowers nmy attract the eye, but it is tho swuet-soented kind which command .jur most sin cere love and admiration. Form mid size are also attractive proiierttes of plants, and we mav ad mire and enjoy tho graceful leaves of the delicate fern or those of the lofty palm of the tropics, somewhat as we do tho lovely cascades or magnificent landseaiie; hut the fragrance of flow ers ts tho soul of beauty, a tiling to lie felt, known and enjoyed, still re j mainTng hidden from human eyes; Itistruo that there are persons who either cannot or do not npnre- 1 I elate the delicious fragrance of flow- 1 ers; but they are rare exceptions to I the general rule. We have only to j ! glance over the pages of florieultural 1 history to learn how strong a liold plants with sweet-scented flowers nave upon the affections of mankind. Fashion may fora time popularize the gaudy-colored zinnia, the straight laced ana stately hollyhock, or geo metrical dahlia; but their superficial i merits never strike very dee] i in the' affections of the masses, hence the I t vacillations observed in their culture. I I Of course, we would not exclude gav- E colored flowers from the garden mil ; | more than wo would bright-colored I ■ garments froin children, for they n(- 1 tract tho eye, and in turn lend to a f closer acquaintance with both the! ' useful and beautiful in nature. For 270 years the suiull colorless but j sweet-scented tuberose ha= held an-' ! disputed swnv as one of tiie queens ! of tho floral kingdom, its popularity increasing with each succeeding gon • erption. Wonderful discoveries have been made in the lily family during the past few years. Sew species and varieties of large -ize and brilliant, colors have reached us from China and 1 Japan, besides those found in Cali fornia ; hut who would exchange t Hat ■ little gem known ns lily of the valley for the best or most guy-colored o ' them all. Rentes truthfully said : No flower aiuid the garden fairer grows, Thau the swept lily of the lowly vale. The qureu of flower#. ; It is neither large nor show y in col- I or, but its sweetness has ever made it : n universal favorite. The wall flow ers, ten weeks stocks, heliotrope and 1 [mignonette possess none of the, [showy kinds of beauty; still f,v, [plants cult claim ni ire friends or [genuine admiration. The eameliu is a showy and beautiful flower, tit to. [bedeck a queen : but the lift le orange 1 (blossom, with its lovely fragrance, [fittingly becomes the bride. | Spring will soon come again, and [then J would urge every one who eul ftivates flowers to remember the ■weet-soented kinds. In making out [lists of plants do not overlook the •fragrant sorts. We have gay and [showy cienuuis in abundance: hut [few are fragrant, the old C. Flnmumln Hoeing the best of all. S Among the climbing honeysuckles [the old Belgian monthly and the! ■Chinese evergreen are indispensable, lon account of their sweetly smelling >Powers. Talk as we will, or even ut- Itempt to despise the old-fashioned Eblants, few can forget the sweet rock jet or the bunches of grass pinks in j‘‘my mother’s garden.” If we would [have children carry with them pihrough life pleasant thoughts of [childhood days, surround them with, .fragrant flowers. Even the rose ishail “smell ns sweet by any other' limine.” — Cur. X. I‘. liahtpi'iuleiil. A SAFE INVESTMENT!
