South Orange, N. J. — One of the 

 most attractive spots in the country 

 for miles around is the nursery 

 grounds of W. A. Manda this fall. We 

 have never before fully realized the 

 decorative character of Manda's 

 golden privet until seeing it as it is 

 now displayed there in exquisite 

 trimmed standards. It illumines the 

 neighborhood with its yellow glow. 

 The wooded portion of the grounds 

 through which a brook takes its sinu- 

 ous course is beautifully laid out and

 ture of tropical glades, vistas arched 

 with tree ferns and palms, rustic 

 bridges spanning the stream and the 

 banks carpeted with an infinite varie- 

 ty of foliage and (lowers. In the 

 greenhouses the display is equally 

 pleasing and there is a wealth of new 

 and interesting things to admire, 

 among them a bench of show cala- 

 dlums of rare beauty. There is a lot 

 of seedling kentias showing a wide 

 variation in form of leaf, color and 

 habit. The big Polypodium Mandai- 

 anum still maintains its record of 

 growing rapidly and luxuriantly under 

 any and all conditions. There is an 

 insatiable demand for the cut fronds
