F[G. 1353. — An Ice Scene at Niagara Falls. 



'E have read of the silver trees of 

 Table Mountain, South Africa, 

 which are a great attraction to 

 travellers and sailors at great distances 

 when the sun shines upon them, some 

 of the leaves of which are in my posses- 

 sion, and they must be very beautiful 

 trees, but I question if they can be more 

 beautiful than the picture before us, and 

 we need not go so far to see them, as 

 they grow in Q. V. Niagara Falls Park, 

 and when the sun shines upon them, 

 on a clear, cold frosty day, they are beau- 

 tiful beyond description, in fact they are 



called crystal trees by visitors, formed 

 and grown by Niagara Falls and Jack 

 Frost, one quarter mile from the great 

 Horse-shoe Falls. 



The tree to the right of the picture is 

 Tt'/ia Americana, Lime Tree or Bass- 

 wood. The two trees to the left are Thu- 

 ja-Occidentalis, American Arbor Vite or 

 White Cedar. 



This picture was taken by a first class 

 photographer, J. Zybach & Co., Niagara 

 Falls, Ont.
