CAPE POND FLOWERS.
These Bloom In Winter With Vs and Rest
In Sammer.
This is a delightful little water plant
from the Cape of Good Hope. It is often
called Cape Pond Weed, or, because of its
deliciously fragrant flowers, Winter Haw
thorn. Gardening tells that, like most
other plants from South Africa, its bloom
ing period is winter with us and its rest
ing period our summer. Providing its
roots are beyond the reach of ice in win-

ter, it is hardy in our outdoor ponds. As
it is a somewhat small and slender plant,
it should not be planted in deep water;
keep it near the side of the pond. It be
gins to grow and bloom in August and
continues to grow in bulk and profusion
till winter sets in and coats the water
with ice. Then it ceases till the opening
of spring, when it again starts to grow
and bloom, abating on the approach of
warm weather.
It also is a beautiful and grateful plant
for window or greenhouse shelter in
winter. It may be grown in any neat
vessel, as a crock or pulp pail set in a
sunny place in the garden, till there is
danger of frost, then transferred to the
piazza, then to the sunny window or
greenhouse. Fill the vessel one-third or
one-half full of fresh loam, with some
old cow manure added, and a layer of
sharp sand over all to keep the water
clean. Plant the tuberous root in this,
then fill up with water. The flowers are
white, with purple anthers. •
Heating Greenhouses.
There has been much discussion re
garding the merits of heating green
houses with steam or water. Professor
L. H. Bailey has been quoted as saying
that steam is superior for very large
houses whero the fall is slight, for most
forcing houses, and for all establishments
which are likely to be often modified and
extended. For conservatory purposes,
for straight runs and small houses it is
perhaps equaled, and possibly surpassed
in some instances, by hot water. Steam
overcomes obstacles, as elbows and ob
structions, better than hot water, travel
ing faster and farther. Crooked runs,
with little fall, are great difficulties in hot
water heating.
Steam can be varied more quickly than
hot water. On the other hand, steam is
as steady as hot water under proper
management and requires no more at
tention. Steam heat is not a dry heat,
and plants thrive as well with it as with
any other. Hot water heating requires
from a third to a half more piping than
steam heating, but each pipe being less
hot is less apt to injure plants growing
near to the pipes.

How to Preserve Root Cuttings.
It is quite common for those desiring
new plants from cuttings, says The Amer
ican Cultivator, to place them in a bottle
of water, keeping the whole cutting, ex
cept a bud, submerged until roots form.
The practice of gardeners is to place the
cutting in damp sand, and they claim
that the sharp particles of sand rubbing
against the smooth end of the cutting
hasten the callousing from which the
roots are started. No manure of any
any kind should be allowed to come in
contact with cuttings. The first roots
formed are very tender and sappy. They
will rot off as fast as they form if heat
ing manure is placed near them. After
the cutting has l>een well rooted it may
be planted in richer ground, but even
then the filling around the roots had

roads, bridges, canals and all sorts' of
permanent business plants, but occa
sions like the present make us doubt the
wisdom of permitting the vast accumu
lations to stand in the names of individ
uals or families or be consigned to the
care of trusts or ‘souUess corporations ’
“The accumulated wealth of which
we boast today represents the labor of
millions of men who have not enjoyed
a fair share of their product, and 20 per
cent of it is now found in the hands of
less than 1 per cent of our people—
though it would not have been possible
for them to produce it—simply because
they have been clever enough to manage
business under our system in a way to
have these vast accumulations booked
in their names as their property. Now
that they possess it, they use it to suit
themselves, and in the long run they
cannot use it profitably to themselves
without making employment for the
masses, but when a pinch comes and
they think it to their advantage to shut
Itp shop and rest on their oars their vast
accumulations of invested wealth are to
a large extent no longer of any use to
the masses, and then no wonder the lat
ter begin to ask if the present system
affords the best way of managing stored
wealth of the past.
“Some think they see that it would
be better for this stored wealth in pro
ductive property to belong to the people
as a whole and to have it managed by
their agents always for their interests.
When one starts on this idea, it is not
as easy to decide where to stop as where
to begin. Socialism carried to the ex
treme frightens away many who would
already be disposed to have the state
take control of all such monopolies as
mails, roads, railroads, express business,
gas, electric and water works, but the
propriety of making further steps in
this direction is evidenced by the Hewitt
bill for underground rapid transit and
certain new provisions as to publio fran
chises which will be offered to the com
ing constitutional convention.
“When Henry George made a strong
run for the mayoralty a few years ago,
it was Mr. Hewitt who was put forward
to ‘save society’ against just such social
istic propositions as this, which would
make the city proprietor of a great rapid
transit system. But now Mr. Hewitt
himself helps us to have it. Is that tend
ing or drifting or ‘running into’ social
ism? Any one who agrees that this is a
good thing to do now ought to be an easy
convert to the view that it is a great
pity that the city did not hold all its
own franchises, own all its street car
routes and furnish itself with gas and
electric lights as well as its water. It
might as well have owned the elevated
roads as the New York and Brooklyn
bridge. It might have built model tene
ments and regulated their sanitation bet
ter than it can ever hope to control those
in private hands. It could as well have
owned both sides of Broadway as its
water front on both rivers.
“Another big question is, ‘Now that
productive wealth is so largely in the
hands of the few, how can the masses
ever get possession of it?’ Even if they
have been ‘robbed’ of the most of it, it
has been done so gradually, under the
forms of law, that it would take a con
vention of capital’s attorneys to devise
a plan for reclaiming it that would be
as indirect, insidious and unnoticeable
as the system under which it was ac
quired, to put it mildly, by the few.
“A method which has occurred to mo
as likely in time to restore to the whole
people a large amount of its capital
without possibly hurting any of the pres
ent holders is that, in addition to a
graduated income tax, let the law of in
heritance be such that no one person
could inherit over $1,000,000 worth of
property. That is start enough for any
man or woman. If a man dies leaving
$10,000,000 and five children, $5,000,-
000 would revert to the state or be in
some proper proportion divided between
his county, state and the United States,
Wealth thus passing into the publio
purse could be used to buy up, as last as
possible, all the franchises and monopo
lies that have been foolishly let slip here
tofore, until the people should thus
gradually recover possession of their own
and have reason to be duly grateful to
the multimillionaires for helping them
to it.”
