Another famous botanical garden which ranks as the finest in the world Is at Blntenzorg, Java, this garden in Its present state of perfection being the product of nearly a century of effort on the pnrt of the Dutch Inhabitants of Java. So wonderful are the flowers and plants that the garuen, which Includes 00 acres, Is known as "The Garden of tne East" L. Breed in the Gardener's Chronicle tells us of the vegetation In this garden of wonders. The governor-general'- s house, which Is located In the garden, Is approached, we are Informed, through the finest avenue of trees in the world. These are Kntmri trees reaching 100 feet overhead and have tall straight trunks, covered with stag-hor- n ferns, BIrdsnest ferns, orchids and every type of parasite and air plant that the cllmute will permit. Mr. Breed also describes a palm that stands about 40 feet high, and a "wilderness of climbing plants," among which are palms with branches COO feet In length. He makes note of another palm that bears the largest fruit and the largest leaves of any known tree, the fruit being two feet in diameter, and the leaves 10 feet. Some of the trees rise to a height of 100 feet before the branches spread. FINE OLD GARDEN STAGE COACH TALES TO BE "RESTORED" By E. C. TAYLOR of Good News for Lover Horticulture.

Many a New England child, hearing the cry of "Ginery's coming Ginery'a coming I" and probably wondering what a "ginery" was, watched with delight as a great stage coach with six prancing, reeking, foaming horses came to a atop in front of the Baystate house, in Boston, or the taverns of Worcester, Mass, or Brattleboro Vt Seated atop the magnificent vehicle was a dignified, selfcontented man, ruddy of face, his stout body swathed In a heavy greatcoat and on his head a tall silk hat Ginery Twltchell would sit erect on the coachman's seat, gather the reins well In hand and suddenly be off with a great rattle of wheels and blowing of horns. Twltchell was called Ginery "Honorable" even then.

Happily, however, In the party was a land surveyor, who managed to swim ashore with a band ax and a water-tigh- t box of matches. Using bis ax, he made a rude shelter. By snaring rabbits In the woods and killing frogs with sticks, the party kept alive for seven days, till rescued by another flying boat sent to seek them. The search for the lost French flyers, Coll and Nungesser, In May, 1927, nearly cost the lives of Captain Robinson ai d his crew. They bad flown along the north shore as far as the Strait of Belle Isle, then still full of Ice, when a storm forced them down. Anchoring late In the evening, in the sl elter of a rocky ledge, they curled up In their cockpit to await better weather. Suddenly the wind venred, blowing a gale from the or.en sea. Their anchor dragged and their ship smashed on the rocks. They saved their emergency kits, made a fire on shore from the wreckage of their plane, and cooked breakfast. They walked 20 miles along the beach to a lighthouse and signal station, to report their whereabouts. Returning from a flight op the Ashuapmuchuan river, one pilot brought with him an old Indian When Invited to ride the red man seemed In no way perturbed at the He calmly donned helprospect. met and goggles and settled himself In the front cockpit, as If flying were an every-daact with him. In a half hour he flew downstream a distance which Just previously It had taken him six days to cover by cold. land. His stage coach was one of the most famous that ever rolled over the rough roads of the early days of the United States. It was built In 1837 by Henry T. Breck of Worcester, and never was repaired beyond occasionally getting a new coat of varnish. In 1840, at the requetst of the citizens of Barre, VL, seats were added to the top, so that the great coach carried 82 persons, 12 Inside and 20 outside. It once carried C2 young women from Worcester on a blackberry excursion, with eight horses drawing this record load. During the Presidential campaign of 1840, It carried the political leaders to and from meetings around Qulnslgamond. His Inst driver, Henry S. Miner, narrates that Twitchell before the days of the railroad collected election votes on horseback, and once road from Greenfield, Mass., to Worcester, a distance of 54 miles.

Kenneth Saunders, chief pilot of the Canadian Falrchild company, started north with an engineer and a Hudson's Bay company official, on a visit to some of the northern trading posts. Unless one flies. It usually takes six weeks of mushing on snowshoes, with a dog team to haul baggage, to reach these wilderness outposts. Regions between posts are wholly uninhabited. Snow lies from four to six feet deep; trails, suet as tbey are, usually follow the Inkes and rivers, through a borken country of small timber. When Saunders and party left Roberval the day was bright and fair, but the thermometer was 25 below.

Flying a the nortkulturally minded tourist The anniversary of the founding of this old garden was celebrated on June S and 6 of this year, with ceremonies suited to the occasion. The opening day was spent In special exercises of a historical nature, and on the second day the visitors were guests at the garden, tea being served In the old home of the founder, John Bartram, a section of which was built In 1700, by Swedish settlers, and became the foundation from which Mr. Bartram built later. The building was pur chased by Mr. Bartram In 1728, and the original house still remains in the garden enclosure. The Bartram garden Is now undergoing a process of restoration that will bring It back to its original form, a fitting tribute to the plat of land that has been devoted to gnr-de- n purposes for two hundred years. The house has been restored to its original form and now the garden, through the efforts of the garden clubs of Philadelphia and surrounding country, will be mnde to resemble as nearly as possible the garden of the old days. These clubs have undertaken as their first work to restore to the garden the native rhododendrons, mountain laurel and other evergreens.. John Bartram was a native American, his birthplace being Darby, Pa., near Philadelphia. He lived to the good old age of seventy eight and died In Bartram house In 1777.
