May the Jessa mine shed Its fragrant blqoms, and the scarlet flakes of the wood-bine glow amid the foliage like the wings of tropical birds; with chump of Oleander waving their banner of white; and vivid rose. Yes, these spaclouB grounds may be studded with native growth and stretch like a beautiful panorama on every side. And we may have daisies that every one loves, with their snowy petals, and golden centers; and black-eyed Punans nodding cheerily In the breeze. , The', Civic League has a great work before them, for* Camden can be made beautiful not only In the springtime and summer, but at all seasons, for what can excell In beau ty the magnificent grove of pines right itf the center of the town? They have attained gigantic height, and lift, their plumy heads heaven ward, and year after year make a mellow brown carpet of straw, fotm in J5 a,, safe retreat for. the little seeds that spring up In* the spring time. And in the winter the giant oaks . are decked with the waxen pearls of encroaching mistletoe, and we might border some of our squares with the beautiful holly, whose crimson berries hold forth to the despondent a promise of the coming "Yulettde."
