Causes of the Remarkable Beautifying of Homes In This City. Louirrilla BotanUt Who Bent a Magnificent Collection To a Great Eng-liah Herbarium, stccestiois norr thi ruis. It is not from chaneo or circumstance of site that Louisville is a city of homes, the oharm and beauty ot which are more thaa ordinarily enhanced by surroundings of tree and flower.

It cotn aim out' aa a heritage to all who iipalt the inffUsh tongue to take what offers nature drawing on all the ouroea of supply and utilizing these riuroee in the order of availability and ape what can be made of it for the betterment of human condition or the 'beautifying of human surroundings; and it ia not a little remarkable that to this same tctliah stock we owe a very large proportion of tbe lending improve-m-nta that have been maie in, connection with civilisation- in both plants and animals. Truly the Black Forests of the old German Fatherland were a great nursery ground for the production of an abiding appreciiMion' of nature's loftiest vitalizing farces, and it was that same appreciation-which, nurtured and strengthened on British soil, afterwards carried to these shores, has given rise here and wherever placed to results in these directions not etjiultvl by thorn for other races of men. One has only to cast about for a moment in order to find evidence in support of these impressive facts. Scarce a breed of animals, the present distribution of which ae wide an civilisation, that does net trane immediately to old England: and what ia true of the animal is not lens true of the vejfotable kingdom. To that country we go for the race horse, and to the race horse we resort fur the Mood from which has been produced all that is really invaluable in the other types and forms of horse.

In the cae of cattle we are equally indebted to the mother country to the men who hav had the skin to take the crude material that existed on the spot from time immemorial, and out ot it construct Shorthorns, UereforMs, Devon and, with the exception of the little Jersey and the llolsU'io. all the breeds having anything like general application and utility. Ihe more we go into detail respecting this matter the more inipreseive becomes the truth thus suggested; and, in in our survey from animals to plants, the idea strengthens rather than weaken mm.

A key with which to open, up much of the remarkable history of Kentucky- is found in the etaunnent tihat Kentucky lurniahos toe only illustration'of a tjcn ai-parated from tbe parent stock for over tw hundred years, yet maintaining the original parent elwracttritftica.

In th paper I shall eon ri tie mycelf. to the contributions thus made, by Japan to the ad vnment by wiy of tree anu shrub, and, lit identally, ot humbler btowxu, to tbe beautifying of Louiav Ule liome surroundings. Ihe t-mes are now just ripe for tlie study of thia subject.

For are we not now making Krie expenditure a puttie parks a cnief feature of whirJi must always depend, tor satitfactory out- eoum, on and judicious 3el. tion and dstrihution of tree, and lierl, aud shrub tven we of Louisville are not all aware how rich this city is in rara arms of plant life; nor do we generally know that LouUvJle had hutauiiiV, whose reputations are co-extenfivo with botanical study, and who are really better known in sonie.

W. Short is specially in mind, it tnunj; his honor to have in. one ot the jrre.it ILngliah herbariums a dried collection of native plants the superior of which ltH not crowd tlie AtLtntic from any Suite. Dr. Short may not have been the eole, or even the chief, inspiration that led to the planting of rare trees in Louisville tunes; hut, however that wa.

it is certain that there too much of it of a hizb. order for it to have taken place accidentally or otberw: than intelligently. Sometimes only traces, sometimes strong evidences ot the initial t.te and solid information of the old ooeur as near the river as -Tefterin street. and from that they extend back for a good rkony-squares aud occasonally a sinsle 4ree on the pavement, as is the case with the Paulownia imporialis on Second belweon Crjy arvl llrnodway, is in evick'nee to the effect that even then rarw and pleusina results wure sought in every iw tion. It is reawuable to suppose that not a httl.

This hrinzs us tliiwtly to the territory containing the spM5ial object ot the present investigation. A feature about 'very many ot the plants of Japan is, fT plants belonging tlie northern hemipphere, their very Mootniug. A familiar illustration to tlii, effect is fouud in the well-known Pyruj japnniea, a bush everywliere in use as a favorite and abounding in the portion of Louisville now under consideration.

I heir blooming furtlier north than New lork is a novelty, and touth of Louisville tlny should scarcely ever fail to bloom, our n-w parks, planted under euitable and favorable conditions, tliey should yield gratilyiug results. In the phinting it very seldom hap-pens that the habit of growth of the tree is consiiilcnd in connection with the style of architecture with which it is to bo associated.

Along the stte line of the sr Medical College, now going up on First and Cheatnut unreet, are two kinds of trees, one the plane tree or sycamore, Ilatanus oocldon talis, the otier the linden tree, the former perfectly harmonious and tlie other lees in harmony with, the beeutiful structure.

Thit brings us to snot Iter tree from Japan, the famous tree of that the Sal la mina aatantttoiia of toe the pecttio part of thia name indicating a strong resemblance in the case of the form of leafage to that of the maiden luir fern, Adiantum. Alms on Cliest-nut street from tlie new college building just referred to is a line specimen of thi nn common as well as beautiful tree. This tree would go superbly with tlie new edifice better there a good deal than where it is. The part of Louisville under consideration is well supplied with gocd-ied aamnlia of the (iinko tree, as, eithand, in addition to that iust alluded to, I recall one in tbe lot adjoining tlie Holcomb Mission, oa Jefferson street, near First, and a couple of fine ones on Walnut, one of tliete on the rear of the lot belonging to the old Ward house, the other close to the street and immediately within the yard of the Tyler hoise, as it is still termed, about midway between Lust and Floyd streets. Probably tlie noblest of all tl Louisville specimens of the Ginko tree ia nt Fourth and York streets, subordinating, in ita free, held way, all its surroundings on the grounds of Mr.

1 ton rope. Tills Ginko or maiden-hair tree la not only a tree curious in appearance, but, a the same time' that it ia pleading iff general outline and minute detail, it also possesses a special technical interest. Only a trained eye would suspect it ot belong, ing to the Colli ferae or line-tree family. It does not produce cone, hut then, no more de many other individuals belonging to its class or nub-family, included being tbe famous yew tiee of sons and story. In its.

own country tbe (iinko become a very largo tree measurements of trunks of this tree over forty feet in circumference having been made and there is no reason why it tdiould not become the like liere, where it certainly is perfectly liardy. The leaves, which are said to have more than an erternat likeness to similar fern structures, nre of a rich deep green up to the time for changing tint in the fall, when they do their changing of color in yellow. A point ot interest in connection with this tree is that we owe ita introduction to Alexander Hamilton, he having brought it I rem England and planted it near lldladelphia in 184. A striking tree like this, an object at all times pleasing to contemplate pleasing from the first appear a uce in spring of its dainty leafage, on during the nmnit, when ita rich foliaue abounds, through the fall and into the tmrrennees ot winter needs bat to be known in order to eotne Into service wherever it style admit of its being em loyed. llitlierto, in the United States, the increase oi thia tree has been effested by means of layers and cuttings, as with us.

North America, is a country rich ia representative of the Matmolia family of plants.

The) only countri that compare with it in this respect are CIud end Japan, th flara of these two lands, to-geibT with their horticultural methods seneraTly, having many pointa in common, the magnolias, wonderfully changed aud mod iti ed by human skill, ae in those countries they have been, ling fully in. evidence to thia effect. Of the kinds of uiiicnolia brought from thtee lands, and now fully established here, there are at least two sufficiently marked to be regaided as distinct species, one beinj Maicnolla purpurea and tbe other Magnolia wspicua. Magnolia purpurea um large, beautiful flower, though' it does not attain a re above that' of a rosebushno need of length of years for tlie making ot a good specimen of this; nor is the plant now in anywise a rarity. The other.

Magnolia cenpicua, boroe tree and when it does this it is. klien ia full bloom- the blooming taking plaoa at' the opening of the year l-elore tlie leave appear an object ot tlie createst leautv whilst its fracranee makes 1 he air delicious for squares around. Barring the fact that occasionally tlie flowers are damaged by frost, much as are tlie flowers ot peaches and other early blooming tre, this plant is perfectly hardy: and in J-ouinville may be found abundant proof of tlds. Whoever, in the early part of the year, when tbe time for tlie idoouiiiifc of this magnolia is on, has passed the point where Second and al-mi street rross, or on Lighth, between Walt-nut and Chestnut, has seen a swht which no lover of the beautiful can and forget. Here on Second and Walnuton opposite corners ore two fine Seclmen ot Majmolia conspicua, on tlie llite property being a good way tlie better of the two.

In directions apart from the hardy tree and flower and remembering that, with respect (to thee. 1 have not attempted more than tlie merest outline, I might have much to say of the large Obligation which we are under to Japan in the pteseni particular. To give toll point to this one ha only to mention that loveliest ot all winter floweis, tlie Camellia japonica. And Vho doe not recall the Japan lily? And what a range is thus suggested. To tlie mountain of Japan we go for the hardy kimls: to the valleys for the sulvtrop-ical; and almot everywhere there is frasrance In the magnolias, in th? wistarias, tn tlie primroses.

Taking tlie perfectly liardy of Japan plants why should we not have in one ot the new parks a Japanese grove And why should we not luve in those same parks many similar instructive feature?
