THE TEMPLE GARDENS.

Thanks to the veteran gardener, Mr. Broom, and
Mr. Dale, the citizens of London were not com-
pelled to go to Battersea-park or Clapham-common
to view a few choice beds of early flowers; for owing
to their perseverance, some fine beds of various
spring flowering plants are at present in full bloom,
and if the weather :should continue warm, in the
course of a week or two a beautiful sight may be
anticipated in the two gardens. The chrysanthe-
mum] and the pompones are now showing a fair
head, sand look very hardy.

institution which he designated " The Agapemoue,"

his testament. The will was first dated on the 29th
of June, Ibsl, which he terms " the festival of St.
