A garden has been agitated since 1863. Since Prof. Pen-hallow has been Professor of Botany in the University, the project has taken shape, and seems now entirely successful. It embraces 77 acres; the arboretum takes of this 40 acres, 5 acres will go for aquatics and similar plants. The plant houses are to cover 216 feet by 90. There will also be lecture rooms, library, and an economic museum. The city furnishes the ground, leases it to the Garden Association, and the citizens find the money. The Horticultural Society is its chief supporter. The Dominion Government, however, appropriated $1,000,000 to put the garden in a good preliminary condition. The prospects at present indicate that this garden will be one of the most successful on this continent.
