| One OF the most attractive sights that
Main street affords Is the inviting lawn OF
Hon. W. B. Wall. With tempting garden
seats and hammocks beneath shady trees
| in the background, an effect Of tropical
| luxurianee Is given by large circular
mound of green leaves and rich red BIOS
SONS which are artistically arranged and
have grown with such surprising rapidity
| that they are the wonder and admiration
of the passerby. Tall castor beans form
the center OF the mound, around which
grow French cannas, with long, slender
| leaves and red blossoms; and calla-
diums, which have immense broad leaves
but which do not grow to a remarkable
| height, form the outer circle and make
the mound complete.
