the admission of Idaho to the length
that they requested vote oil tho final
question, and raised the point of no

great sago palm in the White House lives on
forever, This is undoubtedly the most inter
esting among the many valuable and curious
plants at the Executive Mansion. The length
of the great palms life is computed at $50
years. 1t was one of the treasures of Mount
Vernon in the days when George and Martha
dispensed their elegant hospitality at the man
sion. By Gen. Washington the grand palm was
presented to friend in Baltimore at whose
death it came into possession of the White
House gardener. For over thirty years this
historical sago palm has stood near one of the
doors leading into the state dining-room. The
trunk of the plant measures fourteen feet in
diameter. The sago palm has the curious habit
of blooming one year, and the succeeding year
it will throw, out fifty, or sixty leaves, thus
Towering only every alternate year.
