Plants.

The Botanic Garden is to be kept
open Sundays hereafter if the public
shows sufficient interest. George Wes-
ley Hess, the superintende mt, announced
today, that starting Sunday it will
be kept open each Sunday from 10 to
o clock and an expert gardener will be
on duty to explain the plants to Wis
itors
An innovation is also planned for the
benefit of school children. Mr.. Hess
stated today that any teacher wishing
to bring her class may do SO and he
will personally point out 10 them the
most Interesting and educating points
about the garden. lie is arranging
AN exhibit of number of plants and
household use. such as the quinine
plant. the canphor and coffee plants.
He will also arrange a travelling ex-
hibit which will be loaned to schools
where the teachers prepare a little talk
for their classes on such plants.
Many Features of Interest.
The Botanic Garden. besides being d
treat for f1oricuturists and students of
plant life. since its purpose is to con-
tain specimens of every species of plant
that can be grown in this region. has
many features of popular interest.
There are number of trees and
shrubs about the grounds of historical
interest. including trees which, it is
claimed. were planted by Abraham Lin
coin. There is an oak from the grave
of Confucius. which is peculiar in many
ways, SO that as far as Supt. Hess has
been able to find out. no one has yet
succeeded in classifying it. Two trees
are said TO have been planted by Edwin
Forrest and Edwin Booth.

is the 'mother-in-l law" plant. which if
