Flowers and Ferns of the Land of Flowers Florida well deserves the name, or as the nurserymen are fond of say- ing, “it is true to name.” Nature has done her best in beautifying| land and water.

Hessian flies, carpet beetles and po- tato bugs; or that during the winter instead of “hanging around” like the hired man, he was picking up the seed of ragweed and other noxious plants. In Texas one hundred weevils make him a fair breakfast. In Pen- nsylvania he feels that one hundred potato bugs will no more than stay his stomach until he can get some- thing to eat In Kansas his favorite luncheon is twelve hundred chinch bugs, in Nebraska, two thousand Hes- sian flies. The number of seed that he requires for a meal is prodigious. From one thousand to five thousand is not uncommon, and in the winter nearly all are seed of plant enemies of the farmer. rmers of fenee corney is Now is good time to plant peach trees.
