can see worthy representatives of them in 
the Palm-house; as he can in the Temperate-

larger forms there is practically none. Now, it 
so happens, that at the present time many of the 
plants which are receiving most attention on 
account of their economic or commercial value

ample size is essential. Ofsuch we may mention

purse- strings had grasped all this, and had deter-

Government who can look after science and art, 
which in their way, and in the long run, are even 
more important to the future welfare of the Em-

however, that the matter has once more been 
practically shelved. The promise made was mere 
pie-orust, or something worse. It is to be hoped 
that when Parliament re-assembles someone at
