A FINE APPEARANCE.
1t is pleasantly situated in quiet
retreat located at ~ Punchbowl
street, near the foot of Punchbowl
mountain. 1t is surrounded and
partly overshad owed by an exuber-
ance of tropical vegetation. There
is everything in the surroundings to
to suggest comfort, and, viewed
from the street, the place might be
taken for the residence of some mil
lonaire who had determined to
realize
A POETIC IDEAL
of happiness in the midst of sea of
outrageous luxuriance. The hospi-
tai grounds extend over several
acres. Finely kept drives and walks
lead to the building from the street.
These approaches are studded right
and left with majestic royal palms
and date palms planted at regular
distances. Trees and shrubs meet
the eye in gorgeous luxurance, at
every point. To the stranger, espe-
cially, who is not accustomed to
tropical vegetation, the
LoRDLY PALMS,
the grand wide-sprcading algarobas,
and the massive leaves of the ba-
mana, will probably be most conspi-
cuous among the trees. Taken alto
gether, besides every variety of
palms, the hospital grounds have the
finest collection of trees and shrubs
to be found anywhere in these
islands. Coming to the house, the
visitor sees what seems to be wall
of flowers and shrubbery. The
verandah is partly filed up in front
with trellis work through the inter-
stices of which the vines of the
Bignonia Venusta, Bouganvillia, AL
amanda Fenora and other climbers
have interviewer themselves into a
great arbor decked with the rich and
beautiful flowers peculiar to these
plants. A
FINE VIEW OF THE GROUNDS
and outbuildings is obtained from
the upper verandah. The white
fences enclosing the area are first
pointed out by the obliging Pur-
veyor who is on hand to show the
attache of the BULLETIN through the
place. Taking view, first of the
ontbuildings, the wash house is
noticed in an open space in the dis

ciled. At a distance of SO feet a small
building, with trellis walls, covers the
site of the gasoline generator EN-
bedded at safe depth in the
ground. Behind the cook house
runs narrow building, l20 fee
long, containing the carpenter ant
paint shop, the dead house and the
clothes-ironing room. Beyond thi,

priated to what are called ba(
cases." Patients, with disorders O.
