Open air roses can be had for Christmas, as well as for the Fourth of July and Easter. THE LEGUMES. Florida is specially adapted to the growth of the soil-building legami- .ons plants—cowpeas, sowbeans beggarweed, velvet beans, peanuts. ete. These products furnish food for Imn. animals and the land. There are many varieties of these impor- tant plants, some heavy yielders of |v|nes for fodder and seeds for food. The begzarweed is a mnative plant; makes two crops a year and is a fine | feed for stock. The velvet bean, with |ite broad, zreen leaves, is quite or- | namental and ean te used as a elimb- | ing vine for arbors.
