Mimosa. 
(Sensitive Plant) 
A curious plant, with 
delicate fern-like leaves 
that fold closely together 
if touched, as though 
they were wilted by a hot 
blast. In a short time 
they again revive. It is 
a very beautiful plant 
and furnishes endless 
amusement. Though it 
grows freely in the gar¬

as a pot plant., its beauti¬ 
ful tern-like foliage mak¬ 
ing it attractive at all 
times and in all places.. .5 & \
