THE PERN PARADISE. 
in greatest luxuriance. We have devoted one 
little terra cotta stand and shade to three fine speci- 
mens of Lanceolatum, the same which we obtained 
from the vicinity of the Logan Stone, that crowns 
the heights of Lustleigh Cleave, on Dartmoor. 
We planted the roots, and gently wedged in the 
crowns of the plants between little blocks of sand- 
stone, keeping them carefully under their glass 
covering, which is only removed from time to 
time to give air and water. They are thriving 
admirably, and are throwing up new fronds most 
vigorously. They delight in the shady situation 
in which they are placed, and revel in the per- 
petual moisture that surrounds their beautiful 
fronds, and distils on them like dewdrops.
