 UNDER THE TREES. 



Under the trees at noontide 



When the summer sun shines hot, 

 What restful joy and comfort 



-Abound in this sheltered spot ! 



The rustle of leafy pennons 



.And the winsome song of birds 

 .\re balm to hearts aweary, 



Beyond the power of words. 



.-\nd dull must be the spirit 



Of him who never sees 

 A glimpse of heaven's own sweetness, 



While reesting 'neath the trees. 



Blessings on him who planted 



These bowers of shade and song. 

 Where we may reest in comfort 



Apart from the busy tlrron..^ ^^^^^ | ^^^ p^^^^^j^ GROWER

BURBANK'S NEW MIRACLES. 



Members of the vegetable kingdom will 

 .soon be suffering from hopeless amnesia if 

 Luther Burbank goes much further with bis 

 experiments in transforming fruits, cereals 

 and plants into things that Nature never in- 

 tended them to be. According to recent re- 

 ports, Mr. Burbank w'ill soon introduce to 

 the world a toinato-pepper, an ever-bearing 

 strawberry plant, a new giant dahlia, an 

 ornainental pepper tree and a beardless 

 barley. 



Mr. Burbank's gardens of magic in Cali- 

 fornia must be like that wonderland in 

 which Alice had so many amazing adven- 

 tures. While admitting the practical value 

 of this modern wizard's experiinents, one 

 nevertheless feels that some of the results 

 are almost grotesque. If, for instance, the 

 beardless barley could speak, it would prob- 

 ably echo the words of the bewildered old 

 lady in Mother Goose : "Law k a mercy 

 me! Can this be I?" — Nnv York Suit.
