A Rival of the Cactus Orandiflorus
that Blooms from Sunrise to
Sunset.
Natniv, despite all scientific re-
search, continued application of in
vestigation, bears within horsclf mys-
sterioua forces unknown and beyond
mortal ken. While s'nuous, yield-
ing, graceful stems bear luscious
flowers, the spinous cactus,or prickle
pour—by no means attractive to the
*ight—has among it genus many
species, whoso flowers are themes
Worthy the pen of poesy and the
brush ot art.
Home months ago a select circle ol
friends had an opportunity offered
them to witnoi 8 the birth of a lovely
flower, the cactus grandiflorus, or
night blooming cereus.
The fortunate possessor of this
plant, though an amateur florist, has
a collection of this species pos-ibly
unequaled on this continent. Of the
sixty distinct species known to but-
No. 449 St
roof
anisis, Mr. F. O. Greve,
Charles street, has now under
fitlv-reven varieties.
A representative of the T.-D.
having been notified of an event in
the history of a peculiar plant ol
ihis family, visited Mr. Grove's con-
servatory to examine this and other
cactus constitute g his collection.
Without applying other means than
thofo ol nature, tlene plants, though
earelulfy nurtured, are permitted to
giow untrummelcd. From the
creeping stem to the cactus of full
g w«.th, attaining tl.o hiight ot tbiily
net, the rcoik- is i.t once artislic u u
instructive. Tiie obliging prt>prie
tor informed the reporter that the
i actus is an indigenous plant, though
the name is fmii.d in cluHhieal litera-
ture, descriptive of a email sp uous
\ hint of Sicily. This peculiar struc-
ture of the ca<tus, consisting of
globular* channeled and many-
jointod «1eins, ,u-uaily leaflfss, are
truly grotcsquo.in their inclosureof
spines and bristles, and though their
appearance may be decidedly unin-
teresting, the beauty and exquisite
color and delicious scent of its
flowois are maiveloHS.
Each and every species aro known
to bloom, the flowers varying from
a pure white ' to a rfch scat-let ami
purplo, and these, bj' care and culti-
vation, aro readily increased in size'
and brilliancy. Aniorg- the tortu-
ous, spiny creepers, hero and there,
are cactus that b ve attained their
growth; among them the
CACTUS" 5IEL00ACTUS—
the lemon thistle or Turk's cap—in
appearance similar to a green melon,
with deep ribs and set with sharp
thorns, the drooping stem ot the
grandiflora, whose flower—born,
bloOmed and withered in a
single night, and that pecu-
liar anomaly^- the - cactus cochi-
nillifer, which supplies the cochineal
insccts with nourishment, and the
cactus looflirpa, the most valuablo
of. this entire collection. Embedded
firmly in a composito sod, consisting
ot sand loam and brick rubbish, this
plant, only two and a half feet in
height, will blossom forth in all its
radiance to morrow, and, unlike its
kindred plant, the glaudiflorus,
v blooms from the rising to the setting
of the sun. Tho plant, loaves and
buds evidence the correctness of the
owner's calculation, as the plant
having been in his possession for
over a quarter of a century, and
noVerbloPBomed before, an inquiry
into its history, satisfied him of its
being of a species known to bloom
every half century. From the forma-
tion of the calyx the flower, when
open, will be two and a quarter foot
in- di,mooter, its petals ot varigated
colors and not surpassable in beauty.
The genial qualities rif Mr. Greve
will,be.placed to a severe, test to-
rn c^roiy, Its a host of intinmes, tak-
ing advantage of the occasion, will
be present to witness this remarka-
ble phenomenon, an# from the hotir
of sunrise, nntil the waning of the
sun, this wonderful creation of na*
ture, ifhose beauty and fragrance
are but for, a day, will be the object
of discussion and[ observation.
It in ton bo'hoped that'll interested
in florfeuTihro-Svill have an opportu-
nity to tisit the conservatory, Mr.
Greve having kindly tendered a gen-
eral invitation to the public.—Times-
Democrat.
Who Am I, Anyway!
A short time ago a bright-looking
Danish boy stepped into a lawyer's
oflli e, and said:
"I want j'«>u to toll mo who I am,''
laying a $5 bill on the desk at the
sume time.
The lawyer, peeping alternately
at the boy and at the $5 bill, and
blinking his hond, replied :
"It seems you aro a funny boy 1*
"Not funny at all. You will find
it a very serious matter."
"Well, go ahead and explain it."
"About two hundred yoars ago a
wealthy. Dani-h lady, being a widow,
came over to this country with hir
two daughters. There was a Nor-
wegian and his boy. The father
married both the widow's daughters.
One year after the Norwegian's boy
mairied tho wealthy widow. The
result of that marriage was another
boy, and, if I am sure, I am that boy.
Tho Noi wegian boy died. The Dan-
ish widow was a widow pgain, but
tho old Norwegian married her, too.
After that tho old lady died, and
one year ago the old gontle-
man, too, alter he had' mado
himself tho owner of his third wife's
property. Now, when 1 owned that
property my sister.said, 'Stop, you
can't be the heir of all 1 You are
our late husband's grandchild. B\'
her marriago with him you becamo
your mother's grandchild, too, and
after she died wo became your moth-
ers, and you never can inherit the
property before wo aro dead.' That's
what my sister-mothers suy, buV
1 think that can't be right, and
thero must be some mistake in polyg-
amy. Now, sir, please tell me what
I am—who I am."
The lawyer, thrusting his chin into
his'neck, answered, pathetically:
"you aro a polygamous mistake !"
