Planting at North Flatj5L'sh Avenue Entrance 



With the increase of jiopulation in the vicinity of the Botanic 

 Garden this entrance, like all of tlie others, is beinj^' used more 

 and more each vear. The area just inside the gate lias never 

 received any attention, lieyond routine maintenance, since the Bo- 

 tanic Garden was estabhshed. This entrance will become still 

 more im]iortant when the new building of the Brooklyn Public 

 Library, now under construction near this entrance, is completed. 



It is estimated that the contemplated planting with necessar\- 

 regrading and soil improvement and reconstruction of the walk, 

 can he accomplished for not more than $1800.00.
