A New Brunswick paper notes that a love of gardening is progressing rapidly. The Normal School grounds are especially beautiful. A beautiful fountain has been placed near the City Hall, and Mayor Finety is named in connection with other proposed horticultural improvements. His own grounds are tasteful, and a large greenhouse heated by hot water among its attractions. The Queen Hotel, owned by Mr. J. Edwards, is to have handsome gardening improvements made, and tropical plants adorn the hotel. Coleman's Hotel is also a patron of flowers. Attorney General Blair has a very fine garden, which includes a large vegetable as well as floral department; and Mr. J. Valentine is noted as a successful planter of trees. Mr. J. A. Morrison, a mill owner, has a nice garden; Mrs. Morrison, however, being noted as the presiding genius in this little paradise. Judge Steadman has a garden famous for the neatness with which everything is kept; and it is said of our correspondent, Mr. Bebbington, that he has a garden well worthy of anyone's seeing, and that he has twice as much space devoted to flowers as ever before.

P'ven the clergy fall in with earthly vanities such as gardening in this pretty town, and the Reverend F'. Alexander's ground is famous in those parts for its fine lawn, flowers, and collections of trees and vines.
