N 1849 Henry Shaw, a citizen of
St. Louis, a lover of nature and of
I flowers
In particular, built a large
country residence near the city limits.
Ha surrounded It with flowers and
plants of every known variety. When
he died In 1899, his will provided for
a board of trustees to manage the
garden and left sufficient funds to
support It.
This wonderful floral
park,, said to be the largest In the
world, was thus preserved for the
education, admiration and enjoyment
of all.
It contains a collection embracing
150 species of palms; a varied collec
tion of tropical and sub-tropical
plant«; a collection of the 35 known
species of cycads; a wonderful assort
ment of plants which grow best under
desert conditions; numerous species
of ferns and allied plants; a great
array of plants of great economic
value and displays of plants that feed
on Insects; species of the pineapple
and Its relatives; numerous showy,
flowering plants, while In tbe private
orchid house a representative of each
of the 800 species of this beautiful
flower Is to be found.
The out-door collection Includes a
wuter garden, several hundred vari
eties of roses, numerous species of
herblike plants, a rare pansy display,
a variety of economic plants and trees
and shrubs, native to North America
and grouped In families.
All told,
about eleven thousand species of
plants are growing In this garden.
The body of Mr. Shaw reposes In a
handsome mausoleum within the
ground».
