The Osage Orange, or Madura, is a-native of Missouri and Arkansas, and in that region may reach tlie height of sixty feet, while it may be grown in less dimensions all over the belt of country that extends northward even to the shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario.

June is par excellence, the month of roses the month that seems freighted with their richly colored and deliciously fragrant flowers. How perfect they are !

Can any . other flower 'compete with the spicy Damask Roses, the creamy Lamargut, the exquisitely fragrant canary-hued Marechal i7, the per fect Madame Margotttnjth&CTCBted Moss, and hundreds of other varieties possessed of the rarest perfum es, and the most lovely hues Truly; ' .
