A VERY HARDY CREEPER
Any gardener knows that fire and flames give plants of ail kinds but short shrift. A carelessly placed bonfire ana a sudden gust of wind would prove fatal to any plant should a tongue of flame envelope it. Yet in a most strange way the enormous creeper which covers the front -wall of Madame Tussaud’s building, in London, which was recently burned out, appears to be in a most flourishing condition. When the stories are recalled as to the enormous heat generated during that conflagration it is remarkable that what is left of the building should bo completely covered with a screen of green.
