HORTICULTURAL.
Sauntering through the Horticultural
Department the capacity for a permanent
show of rare and beautiful plants that
might be gathered together in building
created for the purpose, and adapted to the
habits and needs of different tribes and
families of plants can not fail to impress
one instantly. Here promiscuously ium-
bled together are the fragile ferns with
their delicate fronds hustled alongside of
the self-asserting palms, whose rigid and
unyielding foliage tear the Trailer ferns and
lycopodiums to tatters; the crotons with
their variegated foliage stand mex cump
of aloes and cact; tall ficus elasticus spreads
its great leathery leaves over procumbent
begonia, and phlodendron towers above
dozen rare and curious plants that want
place apart for their examination. Here
group of tender stove plants are shivering
i'll an atmosphere that is too hot for your
Australian fig or some of the harder
palms. Yonder, with its gorgeous plume
like head, is seen noble tree fern, or a
Sage palm, that in few years would tower
into indescribable elegance, if granted only
a fitting home, where they need
not be carted about and their ele-
gance again and again destroyed
by careless or improper handling.
Here pandanus that must have space.
This little cluster of cact, which embraces
possibly the one-hundredth part of that
great family of curious plants that might,
ifa house were given them, make a feature
that many would travel many mile to
visit. Florists and amateurs are ontinually
finding themselves burthened with valuable
plants that become overgrown for their
houses and which, in many cases, are lost
or purposely destroyed rather than incur
