India-Rubber-Trees, Bamboos, and Flying Foxes. Dangerous Reptiles in the Garden. The Boa Constrictor. Success of Peruvian-Bark Raising. Vicious Land Leeches. The Burrowing and Tormenting Tick.
This garden of Ceylon occupies about a hundred and fifty acres, and is surrounded on three sides by the Maha-velle-Ganga. The india-rubber-trees are buttressed by large, exposed white roots, very anaconda-like at first view, showing that this tree draws its subsistence largely from atmospheric air.
The grounds are entered through a grand avenue of india-rubber-trees, whose tall, widespread branches are heavy with polished dark green, leather-like leaves, vividly recalling the splendid avenue of palms in the public garden of Rio Janeiro, situated behind the tall peak of the Corcovado, "the Hunchback."
