Botanical Garden Needed.
What is needed, of course, is a
botanical garden, but whether this
can be secured is. perhaps, i'. ques

to get it. there is n. teHin ; what
may be done.
Certainly some such thing is

double purpose, by enhancing the

with a few blue prints, a breast
drill, a file and grindstones, they

'marvellous' car. Maybe they
build a lot and sell a lot of them.

dustry. The buyers either become
anti ad ertisf incuts for the auto
mobile in general or their appetites
are whetted just enough to make
them want a real motor car. It is

i'oiir-e, that all of the various
flowers of the Islands could be
grown in a botanical garden, but
as it is mostly the flowers that
grow in the low altitudes that are
disappearing, a gteat many of
them could be saved.
