The horticulturist editor recounts a friend's method to boost calla lily vigor. In June the pots are placed outdoors on their sides under shade, left unattended for hot months, leaves die and soil dries like brick, then in September watering resumes and new blooms appear. The plant flowers continuously through winter, with several blooms at once.
At the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, the International Navigation Company constructs a mammoth elevator set to open in September. The facility will outrank all others in delivery and receiving capacity in the United States, using top-of-building machinery and steam shovels to cut manual labor. Thirty six circular iron bins rise, each twenty two feet in diameter and fifty feet high, as part of a total project cost around 850000 dollars. Philadelphia merchants expect the port to become a major grain depot with ample freight room to Europe and swift zero to westward rail movements.
A Kiowa girl named Topin aged twelve, daughter of Kicking Bird, is described as lively with arch eyes. She wears a buckskin cloak fringed with elk teeth, a rare and costly garment valued as many as two hundred and fifty mules in weight, and a simple buckskin skirt or trader’s shawl as a top. Topin aids in returning stolen Texan horses by offering ten of her own herd to repair the damage.
The St Louis Globe notes subordinate granges total just under twenty in operation with thousands of members. Iowa leads with 1994 granges on June first, Indiana 3968, Missouri 1929, Kansas 1828, Illinois 1481, Kentucky 1101. Cotton and Gulf states total 4065. Connecticut and Delaware lack state granges. Canada has about thirty. New Mexico and Arizona have none, one in the district, and territories total 180. California granges plan a national five million dollar bank with direct farm to England sales.
