The plant which has this most re.
markable leaf is named after Queen
Victoria 1t was the tribute of Brit
ish traveller in a PARKWAY land when
he discovered the unusual growth.
The leaf was more than five feet in
diameter, and around it extended a
rim about three to five inches high.
When it first opens, the flower Is
white with pink in the middle, which
spreads over the whole flower the
more it advances in age, and it is gen
orally found the next day Of pink
color. As if to enhance its beauty, it
is sweet scented. Like others of the
tribe. it possesses a feshy disk, and
petals and stlmens pass gradually in
to each other, and many petaloid
leaves may be observed. I'VE met

Immediately after the silage corn is
