I n the Bamboo Garden at Kew. —At no 
other time of the year, perhaps, do the 
Bamboos stand out with such prominent 
contrast to other kinds of vegetation, as 
when the foliage of deciduous trees and 
shrubs falls about during October and 
November and the trees assume a ragged 
and dismantled appearance. The foliage 
of the Bamboos varies from light to dark 
green shades according to the species, but 
in no way does it indicate the approach of 
winter by exhibiting the sere and yellow 
tints to which we are accustomed amongst 
native and exotic deciduous trees and shrubs 
which predominate about homesteads and 
in public and private parks. The Bamboo 
garden at Kew is now so well established 
that it affords an excellent object lesson as 
to the capabilities of Bamboos in the south¬ 
ern counties and on the warmer western 
shores of Britain. At the eastern entrance 
of the Bamboo garden is a massive clump 
of Arundinaria japonica, one of the earliest, 
whose hardiness was established in the 
suburbs of London and many other districts. 
The long, finger-like leaves are of a rich 
dark green hue. Close by it is a fine speci¬ 
men of the more slender stemmed and more 
thinly leaved Phyllostachys viridi-glauces- 
cens, the branches of which bend over until 
they almost touch the ground with their 
tips and completely hide it with a light 
green leafy verdure. In the centre of the 
garden is a still larger and magnificent 
clump of this fine species whose hardiness 
was attested at Kew some years before the 
idea of a Bambco garden was conceived. 
Bambusa palmata has now attained a 
height of 4 ft. to 5 ft., and is, we consider, 
the finest of the broad leaved species, inas¬ 
much as it carries its foliage more gracefully 
than its rival B. tessellata, whose long and 
weighty leaves fall about. Close by B. 
palmata is a dwarf patch of Arundinaria 
Veitchi, only 18 in. high .and remarkable 
for the peculiar behaviour of its leaves, 
which die away at the margins until they 
are bordered by a broad creamy band. 
Anyone seeing this in spring would natur¬ 
ally conclude that the foliage is tender and
