* A GREAT CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW GIA tLLIOTT MITCHELL. Perhaps nowhere in the world can one find such a varied and magnifi cent collection of chrysanthemums as may be seen every autumn at the Na tion’s Capitol. The chrysanthemum shows of Washington have become a fixed institution so that society—diplo matic circles ns well—look forward in terestedly for the opening of the gov ernment hothouse« which display the finest of Uncle Sam’s experiments in this b^jnch of flower growing. four feet tall on which grew eighteen different aud distinct varieties, some white, some yellow, while others were pink, brown aud red. This was ob tained by grafting stems from valu able sorts ou a good stock. The first chrysanthemum known to florists was yellow and was grown In Japan. It was carried over to China and from that country rapidly spread all over the world. The passing years however, wrought wonders, and the chrysanthemum, the “autumn queen,” feet. Flax roots go down three and tour feet Grass roots, four to six feet, lted clover completely occupies the upper three feet of soil. Crimson clover roots in a single year grow three feet. Alfalfa roots go to the enormous depth of twenty to thirty feet. All of which may give some farmers new ideas as to cultivation which breaks the roots of plants, aud Hie distance at which to plant. When late potato hills are three feet apart each way the soil is very fully occu pied by the roots to a depth of three feet. Each potato hill, therefore, oc cupies twenty-seven cubit feet of soil. “Empire Churn,” reports Consul Lle- feld, of Freiburg, Baden, does not even need a special vessel fur holding tue cream- The cream is placed in the vessel so that the dasher is in the center, and about 1 1-2 inches below the surface. The handle is then turn ed slowly for a few seconds, and tuen at a good speed, aud within one minute butter is formed. Then some Salt Not Needed For Asparagus. Another tort art- le is on the Prop er Fertl zero for Asparagus. Although salt has been considered a time-hon ored necessity for this crop, it has been found that asparagus will yield as well without as with it except for the fact that the salt prevents the growth of weeds.
