As a rupid growing plant this grass seems to be the first in its class, but during the winter season it dies down to the roots. When in blos som, the bed looks like a small section of tho jungle transplanted to American soiL The trees in the botanical garden have been selected more with a view to their adaptability to the soil and climate and to their worth as shade trees rather than to illustrate peculiar kinds or varie ties of trees, and altogether the general effect of the tree planting has been very ueccssf nl, in that the requisite amount of shade hot been seenred as well as a harmonious touch of general embclish ntent of the garden. -"-Boston Herald. o to. o .0. .o. .o. .o. .. .o. .o. ,o . ooo Hair Death! rna'hr raii. aad fnrrmr drf-tmr. aa q )-Tthnu,lc aa r wktiarr a poo inn haa--a, lacr-. ana. ar area. aHtlMMt tH-cato--!.-!-. ar ait-try ratae rn-mt iU-liratraklrt, It was O . rirrv T-- Ttia aacarr maat-L oe a) A aca WlLana. acKnaalara-nl k, nij--i-Oriaaa a.
