To me the most interesting object in Bhagulpore was the Horticultural Gardens, whose origin and flourishing condition are due to the activity and enterprise of the late Major Napleton, commander of the hill-rangers. The site is good, consisting of fifteen acres, that were, four years ago, an indigo field, but form now a smiling garden.
A minister is no more sacred when riding behind a spavined and ringboned nag than when whirling along after a horse that can swallow a mile in 2.30. The anniversary week in Boston closed by a display of flowers and fruits in Horticultural Hall.
The four girls continued to arrange the flowers: Elizabeth, inquiring after many of the plants at Merton Hall; Anne, telling how the myrtle was prospering, how well the geraniums had flowered, describing a new fuchsia, and triumphing in the prize which the salpiglossis had gained from the Horticultural Society; Helen, comparing the flora of Merton Hall with that of Dykelands; Mrs.
"The trouble will be to stop her before she turns the whole place into a horticultural exhibit." "Well, go ahead with it, Patty. I think it will please your aunt very much, but don't wear yourself out over it." Next morning at breakfast Patty announced her plan for an afternoon tea, and Aunt Isabel was delighted.

For the good of your soul take off two quarts anyway."
A marble statue by Rysbach in the centre of the garden commemorates him. It was erected in 1737 at a cost of nearly £300. Mr. Miller, son of a gardener employed by the Apothecaries, wrote a valuable horticultural dictionary, and a new genus of plants was named after him. Linnæus visited the garden in 1736.
The variety may thus be assumed to have arisen independently at least thrice, at different periods and in distant localities. From all these statements and a good many others which can be found in horticultural and botanical literature, it may be inferred that mutations are not so very rare in nature as is often supposed.
In fact, we had witnessed multifarious sublime spectacles during that day's sojourn in the White City. Returning to the pier where the "Marguerite" lay moored, we were greatly amazed as we caught sight of Lake Michigan to find its waters lashed into fury by a northeast gale, of which we had felt nothing while in the pleasantly tempered Horticultural Building.
