RARE TREES IN REQUEST.
A list of trees grown in the garden of
one of Nekht's contemporaries has come
down to us. 1t enumerates sweet date
and 1um palms, common red and green
fig trees, persea and olive trees, HERNIA,
acacia, and pOmegranates, as we'll as
vines, apples and tamarisk trees This
list is preserved on a wall of the tomb
of a superintendent of the state granaries
at Thebas, and beneath If is a charming
little painting showing the owner of the
garden in a boat on a pond with an in
scriptiOn by the side Of it explaining that
che floats on his lake and cools himself
under his trees while he contemplates his
avenues and reckons up all the good
things which he had made on the earth
These gardens of private individuals,
however, were humble in the extreme
compared to the great garden at Karnak,
of which Nekht had charge. A plan of it
has fortunately been preserved on a wall
of the tomb of another Theban official
1t shows that the garden was nearly
square and surrounded by high embat-
tied walls. The principal entrance faced
the river and was guarded by a porter's
lodge. In the center was the vineyard,
the vines being trained OF trellis work.
supported by brick or stone pillars
Around the garden, Immediately inside
the embattled walls. was an avenue of
date and dum-paIms, and inside this
again was a row or sycamores; palms
were planted also on either side of the
vineyard, and in the spaces between
were beds for the cultivation or rare ex-
otics and tanks for aquatic plants.
hieroglyphic inscription records that the
whole was laid out in the time of Thoth-
mes III, which makes it very probable
that Nekht was the designer.

hut shortly after the accession of Thoth-
mes Ill a great number of foreign
plants were introduced Into the Nile val
ley and planted in the Karnak garden.
Many OF them are figured on the walls
OF a small chamber of the temple of
Amen, and figured so faithfully to ma
lure that 1t is not difficult to identify
them. There is the Florentine flag, or
IRIS, the white-fowered lilium candidum,
the dranunculus. a kind of arum. the
pancratium. or crinum lily. a gentian. a
pink and several kinds of water lilies and
ether aquatic plants. An Inscription re-
ferring to these scuIptured figures in
forms Us that all these plants came from
Syria. Later In the same reign, as other
inscriptions at Thebes record, Towering
plants and fruit trees were imported
from Mesopotamia, Arabia, the SomaIi
country, and even the Greek ISLANDS.
The Egyptian, in fact, seems to nave
spared no pains to grace his garden with
all the profusion and variety which GU
tiVation could obtain. They were par
ticularly fond of sweet-scented flowers, d
fact worthy of notice, for it proves that,
unlike the Jews and early Greeks, they
were at an early period keenly alive TO
the sweet odor of flowers. Mr.. Gladstone
long ago pointed out that Homer often
speaks Of flowers as tender, white"
'|hyacinthe,' but never as 'sweet-smell-
ing"
FLOWERS FOR THE GODS.
Nekhts duty was not merely to cuti-
waite plants; he had also to supply his
king and the priests with cut flowers and
fruits for the decoration of the temple
on all the principal festivals. Officially
he bore the title of ''purveyor of cut
flowers for the God Amen" Doubtless
also he supplied many of the Theban
damsels with those flowers they were 50
fond of using for the decoration of their
hair. Great quantities of cut flowers
were used for embellishing the houses of
the wealthy, and a blossom of some kind
was nearly always presented to a guest
at banquet, just as at the present day
We are given our Fbuttonhole" at a house
party--a pretty custom, and an ancient
one. In his tomb Nekht is depicted pre-
senting Thothmes Ill. with a huge bou-
duet, five feet high and composed of pa
pYrus lotus flowers, cornfiowers and
peoples, fnterspersed here and there with
fragrant fruits OF the mimusops, tree
not now found in the gardens of Egypt,
but we'll known at the present day in
india. Some of these garlands have been
found in the ancient cemeteries of Egypt
buried with the dead.

Then as Now.
In the manuscript department of the
BEitish museum are several volumes of
diaries, notes and copies of hieroglyphic
inscriptions which were made early in the
present century by a certain Robert Hay,
of Linplum during a residence of nearly
thirteen years in the Nile valley. From
the manuscripts it appears that he spent
such time at Thebes, in upper Egypt,
where he devoted nearly all his energy
to the investigation of its ancient monu-
ments- His many portfolios of beautiful
drawings bear witness to the fact that
he was an artist Of no mean merit, but
he was also very enthusiastic antigua
ran, and, like most travellers in Egypt
during the first falf of the present CEN
fury, he beguiled his time occasionally by
digging for and opening up ancient
tombs. Among others that he discovered
at Thebes was one belonging to a man
named Nekht, who held under Thothmes
III, and about 1900 B. c., the office Of
head gardener of the gardens attached
to the temple of Karnak There are
copies Of some of the wall paintings in
this tomb among Mr.. Hays papers and
in his diary he roughly notes the posi-
ticn of the tomb in relation to neighbour
ing buildings. Some of these buildings
mentioned by Hay are still standing and,
though the tomb had long since been
filled up again with desert sand and de-
bris from the rocks above, so that not a
vestige appeared above ground, they
served as a clew to its whereabouts when
Lord Northampton, DR.. Spiegelberg and
the writer came to explore the site last
winter. Within three days of beginning
operations we had, with the aid Of a
dozen Arabs, dug down to the entrance
of the tomb and another two days suf-
feed to clear it, says the London Post.

the center of this has been cut a doorway
