The World's Most Wonderful Gardens
For eighty years Kew Gardens, in
London, have been the Mecca not only
of the world's horticulturists but of
millions of admiring visitors.
Kew Gardens do not exist solely or
even primarily for the purpose of .pro-
viding, relaxation for jaded Londoners
or wondering visitors frown every land.
Their chief object is the 'advancement.
of the study of plant life, combined
with the introduction into Britain of
new and rare foreign plants.
The Gardens, which cover 288 acres,
contain 25,000 different varieties of
plants arranged systematically in hot-
houses and in the open, The Palm
House, 'which attracts more visitors
than any other building, is 362 ft. long
and 66 ft. high. It is warmed by huge
ovens, the heat being,- conveyed
through ,17,500 ft. of pipes.
One of the treasures of the Gardens
is the. Victoria Regia, the queen of.
water -likes and the biggest flower
known. Its leie'ves are so broad that
they are capable of supporting the

the Dominion and provincial forest
services. airplanes are bailie tested
this season in five provircea in the
work of forest surveying and forest
protection. The provinces in which
airplanes are operating are Quebec,
Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta., and Bri-
tish Columbia. The use of machines
of different types, tested under differ-
ent conditions, will by the end of this
season give an immen e amount of in-
formation in regard to the usefulness
of airplanes for this work. The of-
ficers of the Air hoard, th-e Dominion
Forestry Branch, and the different pro-
vincial forestry departments are fol-
lowing the results of this season's
operations with close interest. and
will be guided by them in laying out
future work.
