[ Had this plant been of the ordi- li nary type, the clashing of color would be hideous, in fact, that is the worst fault of the bougainvillea, It contrasts with nothing else. But this fine species could be planted anywhere in the south where B. glabra flourishes ' and, seeing it in such close proximity to the poinsettias, naturally suggested Christmas plants. If this could be grown under glass in the east and flowered as freely as Mr. Haerle's plant, it would surely be a grand seller, either at Christmas or Easter. B. laterita is said to be difficult to propo- gate and this accounts for its scarcity. We are trying to root it in several different ways, but so far we are not sure of our ground so can say nothing about methods. Judging by appear- ances it could be propagated by "draw- ing out" hardened plants in spring and t rooting the tender tips of the shoots in gentle heat. Mr. Haerle is very proud of hia specimen and rightly so, but there are many other choice and rare trees and shrubs in his garden. The Chinese lychee grows and fruits here regularly, a fine healthy plant some 10 feet or more high, being in the most robust health. Chinamen in the vicinity look on this garden as a Mecca and make pilgrimages to it regularly to see this • tree when in flower or fruit. The nuts sent over from China are all cured so that the seeds will not grow. Philoden- • dron pertusum (Monstera deliciosa) thrives well outside and several large plants are fruiting now. The East Indian mango (Mangifera Indica) also fruits here, Mr. Haerle bringing us ripe fruit to taste in the middle of Febru- ary. There is also a beautiful specl- dry atmosphere in summer. The guava (Psidium Guajava) also fruits freely for months on end to say nothing of some grand specimen orange trees on
