The pine is from Nepaul, and it it were nbt plainly marked “couifer” it would never be taken for a cousin of our tall forest tree. The palms have foregathered from the remotest parts of the globe to tell us their story |of wonderful beauty and service. King | of trees has the palm been called, and |if service is royalty the palms have | much to prove their claim. | Strange plants are here, nowhere else to be found in all this country, and they are almost all valuable to i man, selected, indeed, for their rece ord of usefulness. Here is the tea {tree from China, the coffee plant from Arabia, the bread tree, the sugar palm, \the black pepper tree—n Dbreakfast | ready to hand, so to speak. { The coffee plant is the ome which | makes itself most at home. It grows bark and sap alike yield. spice; not one atom of this plant goes to waste. The mother-in-law plant has had more advertising than it really de- serves. Its sap has such effect upon the vocal organs that even make speech impossible s, according to the legend. The exquisite pink of the flamingo plant, the brilliant scarlet of the abu- tilons, the blossoms and gay foliage of a hundred strangers from the tropics, all make a fascinating place of the big hothouse. Tha history and the poetry - of ~every continent for thousands of years are all gathered under this one roof. One reads in this spot the story of the Arabs of the desert, of the shrines of China and ndia, of the impenetrable jungles of Brasll, of the almost unbelicvable beauty of Mexico, of the wild Stretches of Australia. The spices of Araby and the Ind, the deadly story of Africa warfare, alike are shown. Here is the poison bush of the Hotte tots, ‘there is the cactus with its jewel blossoms and its chevaux de frise of thorns. Yonder in the middle of that cluster is the handsome camphor tree. This Is failing in China, for some unknown reason, and in consequence the drug has become rare and high-priced. A story is told of an enterprising lady, & giobe-trotter, who set out a plant in Florida, then. later, twenty acres. The account goes on to say that this plot was sold for many thousands to | WASHINGTO Daughter of Noted Roman Sportsman to Wed Prince Musical John P.

It contains no al- cohol. This tree is an ilex. and much resembles our own ilex, the holly. Turn from drink to food, and the date palms claim first place, although an immense banana tree might offer some objections. The tall Persian date palm is now passe, we are told. The low-growing Indian date palms that do not need to be climbed for their fruit are preferred, and ex- periments with these are now being made in Arizona. The Japanese fig holds gayly aloft on a Stiff stalk far above ‘our heads, its fruit shaped like a boy's cylin- drical top—the fig in our southern states is shaped like a peg top—and there is a surprise for any one who stops to_observe a wee vine clinging lichenwise on a low stone pillar. That, too, is a fig; can you belleve it? It is the creeping fig of China, one of the dependent relatives of a family best known to us through its sturdy and outstanding members. All Chinese palms may be recognized by their spread of leaf. The plume palm of Brazil is beautiful beyond de- scription, and it will probably forfeit its life if the greenhouse is taken away, for it reaches nearly to the domed roof. Up near where the leaves begin on one palm is seen a small, perfectly shaped canoe, about a foot in length, upside down. This is a seed pod, from which the seed has but re- cently fallen. It projects at right an- gles from the trunk, the lower edge opening slowly when the seed is ripe. This is the canoe palm of Brasil. A snakelike plant, destitute of leaves, will put fortk both leaves and an attractive flower later. From this flower the French make one of their finest perfumes. The regal fern of Mexico is the giant of the fern fam- fly. It is really a tree, and is a left- over from the paleontologic ages. If you are not looking closely you may fail to observe that its great root mass, as large as the trunk of a tree, is not potted or buried in the earth, but merely rests upon a rock. Yet its fronds reach up in rivalry with the leaves of the palms. Another tramp of the vegetable kingdom, with no visible means of support, is the vanil- la plant, a big orchid, which grows contentedly swung from any handy {ree branch. : Important Reduc- tions on Everything in. the Store NOW.
