Leaving and Returning to Automobiles 
Visitors coming by motor car for a walk about the grounds may 
arrange to return to the car at the same gate by which they enter; 
or, arrangements may be made to meet the driver at any other gate 
agreed upon, thus avoiding a long walk across the Garden after 
the object of the visit has been accomplished. The various pos- 
sibilities as to entrance and exit will become evident on consult- 
ing the folded map. 
Visitors coming to view some special exhibit or section of the 
grounds should consult the folded map to ascertain the nearest 
entrance. See also the following designation of gates for the va- 
rious sections.
