AN OFFICE WINDOW. 



Fig. 1618.— Vikw of Offick Window. 



THE above two photos are the office 

 window of Mr. Walter T. Ross, 

 Secy. Picton Horticultural Society, 

 of Picton, Ont. One is taken from 

 the outside, and the other from the inside 

 The fruit is the Pomela or Grape Fruit ; 

 there are five on the tree, but only three 

 show in the picture ; it is like an orange, 

 but not so sweet. They are now about the 

 size of a Spy apple, and are not ripe yet. 

 The plant in the tub is a pineapple, about 

 one year and a half old, and should soon 

 fruit. The bloom in top center is a Melia 

 floribunda (China tree) and is very odd 

 looking, no leaves or branches except at 

 the top, and looks like a stick with large 

 bunches of fragrant flowers at the topend. 

 Several orchids are hanging atjthe side 



of the window. With this result of the 

 garden in the Summer, and an office 

 window in the Winter, is Canada appro- 

 priately called " Our Lady of the 

 Snows."
