In another article, I see the question asked, Did you ever see the Sweet Potato bloom? Here you can see them to perfection in bloom, as many as ten or more on the ends of the vines, and they mature their seed, which, when planted, will readily sprout and produce invariable new varieties. Will send you some of the seed when ripe.

The Sugar Cane here tassels, which is quite a novelty, as it makes a fine plume, soft and silky to the touch. Farther south it produces seed, so it is said.

We have also a novelty in the Citrus family - a variegated Orange and Lemon. The leaves and young wood are beautifully marked white and creamy yellow. This makes quite a contrast with green of the other portions of the leaves. The young shoots of the Lemon are of a purplish red. The fruits are marked the same as the leaves. The Orange belongs to bitter sweet class, and is only for ornament. The Lemon is intensely sour, and is only for ornament.

There are a great many flowers here, but none of them gorgeous. The prevailing colors are yellow, rose white, purple, blue; very few mottled in color. If acceptable, will give an outline of the flora in this part of the State, South Florida.
