PoislbJIIty That Plant Long Sought
For Has Been Discovered in
Western Yexac.
Most flowering shrubs havo tholr
short season of bloom, and though at
that tlmo they nro of great beauty,
tho flowers last only n short tlmo.
Then wo must bo content to look at
tho green foliage, and attractive
though that Is, wo wish for a longer,
season of bloom.
Tho wish is mot In tho discovery In.
tho mountains ot western Texas, lr(
tho semi-arid regions, of n shrub which
bears tho namo Salvia Gregll.
Wo all know tho alluring beauty ot
tho annual salvia splendens. At n nea
son whon flowera nro scarco it clothos
ltsolf In a splendor and keeps up tho
procession of beauty until arrested by
tho frosts, now if wo could clothe a
shapely shrub with this radiant pro
fusion and havo l,t In bloom a long
tlmo, wo would havo just what wo
havo been looking for for years.
Tho Salvia, Gregil la a shapely shrub
thrco or four feet tall, well branched
and often of a globular form. It com
mences blooming oarly. It clothes lt
solf with a splendor of glowing rod
for about two months. Then It slaoks
up a Httlo, but as autumn approaches,
and most other flowors havo gone, it
puts on its scnrlet robes again, almost
overwhelming tho plant with tho splon
did flowers. Probably no shrub over
discovered is moro attractive Tho
question comes up ns to whether It
will stand tho northern climate. Flor
ists havo not ben in hnsto to dls
somlnato it. Thoy havo sent It to
sovoral of tho northern Btatos, whora
it haB proved hardy. During tho aw
ful drought of last year in Kansas It
stood tho tost bravely and kept right
on blooming. In Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania it camo through tho win
tor nil right. Docauso Its habitat is
tho high, dry portions of tho Went, it
will doubtless provo well adapted to
tho heat and drought of Kansas and
Nebraska. It certainly has tho power
to resist heat and drought and will
withstand tho winter.
EXAMPLE IN CITY PLANNING.
New York's Preparation for the Fu
ture Is Worthy of Emulation by
Any Community.
Now York city has a committoo on
city planning. This committoo is com
posed of tho flvo borough presldonta
and tho president of tho board ol
aldormon of tho greater city. Kb par
ticular purpose, or hope, at this tltna
Ib to mako tho city a capablo dwelling
placo for 13,000,000 persons before this
generation Is succeeded.
That Is a stimulating lesson for lit
tlo big cities. It proveB that "it fa
never too Into to mend." It proves
indeed, thnt tho moro a city grows
tho moro It must amend and pay for
tho, Bhortslghtcdncss ot its youth.
If Now York (with 0,000,000 poopla
already and all pretty well crowded
together, with real estate values up
beyond tho dreams of nvarlco) can
tako up tho neglectod work of widen
ing streets, creating open air spots
and all tho rest of It, what Ib thorfl
to daunt any city? Should selfishness
of property owners bo permitted now
to Interfere with a clty'B making Itself
cnpablo nnd efficient for nil tho needs
of all tho people that aro soon to
mako It a greater city?
Work of Men of Hlfjhest Ability.
Ileforo tho nineteenth century not. .
only tho mon who executed, but espe
cially tho mon who directed tho work;
of laying out cities, were possessed of
much broador nnd moro goneral cul
turo than today can bo found in thosa
men who hold most influential posi
tions. Tho moot convincing examples
wero tho princes of tho old regime,
who In bo many caeca wero tho push
ing forco that brought about tho groat
artlstio achievements in city planning
that wo admire today. Theso mon, as
a rule, mado it tholr business to keep
in constant touch with tho leading ex
ponents of tho best and newest ideas.
All over Italy. Germany nnd Franco
courts could bo found that woro the

Only in this atmosphoro of perpetu
