drinks. The wood is heavy, so heavy in fact that it sinks 
in water. 
Terminalia trifoliata. Combretaceae. Myrobalan.—Large 
trees common throughout India, the East Indies, Fiji, and 
other islands of the Pacific. The fruit is a winged drupe 
containing a hard stone about the size of a nutmeg. It is 
highly astringent, and large quantities are annually im- 
ported for tanning and for making black dye. The kernels 
of the nuts taste like filberts, but if eaten too freely produce 
intoxication. 
Triphasia awrantiola. Rutaceae—A native shrub of East 
Asia, which is often used for hedges. It has flowers of fine 
fragrance, and the fruits are small but of pleasant sweetness.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE EXHIBIT 
The exhibition of the American Society of Landscape 
Architects in the Museum of the Garden, during the month 
of October, proved of great interest, especially to those en- 
_ gaged in the allied professions of architecture, engineering, 
and gardening. A great variety of problems were presented, 
and although the geology and topography, the climate and 
the vegetation could not be indicated in every case the designs 
were very instructive and full of valuable ideas and su ges- 
tions. Many of the plans and perspectives, although inci- 
dental to the final development of the roject, were in them- 
selves works of art and presented a phase of the landscape 
architect’s work but little appreciated. The photographs, 
besides suggesting the beauty of the subjects, showed excel- 
lent pictorial balance and composition. 
At least one-half of the space was devoted to developments 
of home grounds and estates, these ranging in size from small 
lots to country homes of large area. Plans for water-front, 
hill, suburb, and country localities were included, the formal 
as well as the natural school being represented. The finish 
and elegance of many of these gardens would compare favor- 
grounds.
