Publisher's Notes. 
Shaw’s Garden, St. Louis, Mo., suf- 
fered a loss of $3,500 from fire in No- 
vember. The boiler house, which sup- 
plies heat for the orchid range and sev- 
eral of the growing houses, was com- 
pletely destroyed. Half the East India 
and Mexican houses were burned and 
portions of the orchid and succulent 
propagating houses. A large number of 
species and varieties, 200 in number, will 
require years to replace. The collection 
of selaginella, including 28 species, was 
completely destroyed, the heat being so 
intense that the heavy zinc labels were 
melted down to the soil in the pots. 
Among the varieties lost were a number 
of staghorn ferns, such as Platycerium 
grande and P. Aethiopicum. 
Many elaborate displays of formal 
gardening will he shown at the 
World’s Fair at St. Louis. The 
Cascade Gardens, over a half mile long, 
are to cost about $1,000,000, and France 
will have a reproduction of the gardens 
at Versailles. East of the Palace of 
Agriculture are six acres planted to 
roses, more than fifty thousand rose- 
trees being there on exhibition. Among 
the features upon the slope north of 
the Agriculture building is a floral clock 
one hundred feet in diameter, giving the 
correct time. The outdoor exhibit of 
the Department of Agriculture of the 
United States occupies six acres, and 
includes a map of the United States, 
indicated in useful plants characteristic 
of each State. Two strips of ground 
25 x 210 feet near the rose garden are 
to be devoted to a history of the prog- 
ress in horticulture and floriculture. Im- 
Grooved and Bolted
