the building is a large pyramid , containing a large number of foliage plants of
different variety . Topping :the pyramid is a fine .specimen o f a caladium , or com-monly
known as elephant ears. In the. northern end is a fine grove of bay trees;
here are also a number of .azaleas. These are now in bloom. Nearby are eight
boxwood trees. In the southern end are the trop ical plants , viz., palms , rubber

2000 geraniums in pots. Also masses of blue ageratum and double petunias. One
