pronounced, changing to deep crimson
color, dazzling in its intensity.
Next in Importance comes the lotus
(nelumbium speciosum), recalling as it
does Egypt's sensuous queen and her
band of sirens. This beautiful flower
is interwoven with the history Of Egypt
from the earliest times and plays an
important part in the mythology of that
country long before the Ptolemics ruled.
1t also enters into the mythology of India,
China and Japan. Little wonder, then,

like the trailing vines. In the shadows
of the dark forest. in the light of the
lofty hills, in the warmth and beauty of
the broad plains of the gleat globe, they
stand in matchless dignity. But they

How the cedars of Lebanon talk of Solo

our own time there have been and still

with our history as colonists and as a
nation, and which command the rever-
ence of every American heart.
Probably the most ancient of these
living links, connecting the present and
the past, was the Big Tree that stood on

In the Kensington precinct, Phlladel-

English throne he took measures to sup
press the growth of free government in
America, and sent over Edmund Andross
to take away the charters from the differ

give up her charter, and when Andross
attempted to seize it during night ses-

village of Geneseo, N. Y. When the
white man first saw it it was the patri-
arch of the Genesee Valley, and was so
revered by the Senecas that they named
their village "Big Tree" 1t also gave
name to an eminent Seneca chief, who
was the friend of Washington and his
cause. During great flood in the Cen

swept away and buried in the bosom of
Lake Ontario. The trunk measured 26

named in honor of Queen Victoria. For
long time it was supposed that this
magnificent species could not be grown
in the open air in our Northern ATTITUDES,
but recent experiments have demon
stratcd the falsity of this, as it has been
grown to perfection for several seasons
at Bordentown, n. j., and last year a
fine specimen was successfully grown
outside at New Rochelle, n Y. The
illustration, taken from photograph,
shows this variety in pond in North
Carolina, where 1t was grown by DR..
Bahnson, who is an enthusiast in the
culture OF aquatic plants. The leaves
are from five to six feet in diameter,
bronzy green on the upper surface and
deep purple underneath.
From the center stalk radiates strong
nerves, which are connected transverse
ly by lighter ones; all these are hollow
and give strength and buoyancy to the

four to six inches high, so that the leaf
