Botanical Garden.

The Botanical Garden has now undergone its spring cleaning and re-labelling preparatory to setting out a large number of plants. A number of herbs and shrubs are already in bloom, as are the horse chestnuts and the large magnolia beside the main building. The magnolia is already covered with large pinkish flowers. In the green-houses a large number of tropical orchids have just come into flower; they have been raised from seedlings sent to the garden from different parts of the world.
