Aaron Poole--Rather so; still I will sketch it. Its name is Ilsoimen
galistan (bride of morning). As it is difficult to control we must
select simple if less beautiful forms. Here is a flowering shrub, the
Floitza, that I will venture to sketch. It is attractive, and its
foliage and blooms are not at all complex in structure. Yes, those
are varieties of the same shrub, pink, purple, blue and white. We will
attempt the blue variety. Now we will look through the conservatories
and you shall select the next subject.
Gentola--Dear me, there is such an endless variety, and all so pretty
that I cannot decide; were it not so difficult to control me, I should
select this lovely crimson flower, but the foliage is so extremely
delicate that it is not to be thought of. George, you have mentioned a
certain plant that I should like to see; then I will decide. Ah, that
is indeed a very attractive plant; looks as though it might be of the
cactus family. Aaron, what do you think of it? Is it too complex for my
poor ability?
Aaron Poole--I cannot quite determine, but we will try it. I shall
have to ask one of our Ento friends to give us the name of this plant.
Inidor[a:], as you are something of a botanist, you may enlighten us.
Inidora--It is Ilno bers[a:]. Zenest[a:] says that in Gentol[a:]'s
language it would be hairy crawler. The habit of the plant is to crawl
over rocks or any like support, though here it is trained over both a
rockery and a low trellis.
Aaron Poole--This hairy crawler is Ilno bers[a:], and the vine with
its wealth of pink blooms is Ilsoimen. The shrub is the blue Floitza,
a pretty name for a pretty shrub. With these three sketches for the
present we will content ourselves.
Now I must leave you, but as soon as my dear brother shall have
regained consciousness and grown somewhat accustomed to his changed
condition, I shall be free to again be with you. Gentol[a:], while all
your dear ones are deeply interested in this Mission, they long for its
culmination, so that you may find leisure to receive them, for they,
perhaps more than yourself, miss their former frequent communion
with you. With pleasure I shall bear to them your loving message. Now,
mes amis, au revoir.

De L'Ester--Gentol[a:], these great conservatories, devoted to the
special cultivation of these red and yellow blooms, furnishes the
temple flower offerings, which, with the crystal Sun of the dome, the
mosaic Sun radiating from the altar, and the red and yellow robes
and ornaments of the High Priest and his assistants, symbolize the
imaginary abode of Andûman[a:].
