WHERE CITY RAISES FLOWERS.
The Park Hot House "a New Munich
pal Feature.

The Park Hot House "a New Munich
pal Feature.
When the street and lane committee sur
renders the care of the parks and squares
to the park and tree commission Jan. 1
it will be able to point to one piece of
work at least which viii serve as a me
mento of its administration of the depart
ment. This is the new hot house on
Barnard street on the lot adjoining No. 4
engine house.
The park and tree commission had in,
tended erecting a hot house in the south
cast corner of Colonial park, the inten-
ton being to make it an attractive feature
of the park. The funds of the commission
gave out, however, and the work was
placed in the hands of the street and lane
committee. The lot next to the engine
house had been used for hot house pur
poses for some time. There was a small
hot house there. but the rest of the lot
was occupied by old tumble-down sheds,
which were used for the storage of all
sorts of rubbish.
Alderman Davis and Commissioner OF
Public Works Willing put their heads to-
gether and decided upon a plan of i'm
provement. The old sheds were torn down
and the place was cleaned out. The old
hot house was overhauled and extended
to double its former size, there being now
two rooms, instead of one. In the space
between the two compartments a boiler
was placed, which furnishes steam to keen
the hot houses at an even temperature at
all times.
A Morning News reporter visited The
place yesterday afternoon in company
with Alderman Davis. The space formerly
occupied by the old sheds has been neatly
leveled, fortified and sown in rye. which
will soon furnish a nice carpet Of green.
Around the hot houses is a border
planted in daisies and pansles which Will
soon be ready for transportation to the
park. Inside the not houses are hundreds.
probably thousands, of foliage and flower
ing plants being developed for use i'm the
parks and squares In the spring There
are numerous varieties Of these Among
them are a lot Of geraniums and a large
collection OF century plants. There are
hundreds Of little Jars, each only half az
large as a teacup and each containing q
plant which is being developed to beau
tify some spot in the city. Mr. William
Han, the gardener, takes a great interest
in his work, and possesses the advantage
OF having a thorough knowledge of the
flowers and plants with which he deala
He has proved a valuable man to The
committee.
The not house is a neat, substantial
structure and presents a good appearance
Alderman Davis gives the credit for the
| design and construction OF the building Ia

| about $500. Any lover OF flowers aud
! plants who should pay a visit to the hot
/ house will be well repaid for the fme
spent there.

they are allowed to droop and wander at
their own sweet will over the front of the
gown. Very smart also are the pearl dog
collars, consisting sometimes of as many
as nine rows of pearls linked together by
diamond clasps of deliberately beautiful
workmanship.
Flexibility is still the keynote of the
newest designs, some of the flexible Brace
let's in diamonds and rubes being particu-
iarly effective. Narrow bands of the two
stones are sometimes linked together, as
1t were in the form of intertwined ovas:
While in other cases the flexible bands OF
diamonds are set here and there with sim
gle sapphires or emeralds. A very beauti-
tul corsage ornament of flexible construc-
ton, which is entirely novel in designs
represents long spray of ivy foliage, with
mere and there cluster of ivy berries car
rled out in pearls. Another ornament of a
somewhat similar description represents
marguerite daisies, in graduated sizes %
single pearl being placed in the center ON
each diamond flower.
Opals are being very much used this
season. and it really seems as if the old
superstition about the bad luck which
they are supposed to bring had at last
died out. Opals always look to the best
advantage when they are set rather lavish
ly with diamonds, and an opal necklace
IN which there was a kind of background
composed or a scroll work of diamonds
with large opals, of oval shape at inter-
walls all round, and then below the dia-
mond scroll work some six or seven opal
pendants, was very beautiful Some of the
lew stin bracelets and bangles, which are
still being made for those who prefer thems
are set alternately with opals and dia~
monds, while on others very large enler-
aids and turquoises may be seen.
Emeralds are still being worn, Of course
and do not seem likely ever to go out OF
fashion, although they are not quite so
much in demand just now as the turquois-
es, which appear in various guises on much
OF the newest jewelry. A small diamond
brooch, for instance, in the shape of an
ostrich feather, is set with one large tur-
quolse, just where the feather curls over
at the end. Turquoise pendants, with an
encourage OF diamonds, are also very mueh
IN request; while necklaces are to be seen
frequently with large turquoises at tnter-
Vals all round, spaced out, as II were, WIN
llght tracery Of diamonds, and hnisheu
sometimes with smaller turquoise PEN
dants, set round with briliants.
