HOW TO GROW ROSES 



recurring display easily accessible to large numbers of people. 

 Cleveland has made a splendid start. 



Syracuse, N. Y., has now the beginning of a most creditable 

 municipal rose-garden, the result of a demand made by the 

 citizens, promoted by an energetic rose society and its inde- 

 fatigable president, Rev. E. M. Mills, D.D. Long life to him! 



Now, too, we are happy to report the establishment of a real 

 rose-garden in the Bronx Park system of New^ York City. The 

 New York Horticultural Society and afhliated organizations 

 have carried out creditably a rose-planting that promises to 

 rejoice the hearts of countless thousands of people. Let us all 

 hope that it may prove easily accessible to those who most need 

 the inspiration and pleasure which such a garden is so well 

 calculated to furnish. 



And now the Brooklyn Rose-Garden is well on the way to ren- 

 dering a similar service, and excellent progress is being made. 



There is happy augury for the folks about Boston in the 

 announcement by Mayor Curley that funds are now available 

 and will be used for the extension of Franklin Park. The plans 

 call for a large circular rose-garden w^hich, if executed, is bound 

 to bring happiness to the hearts of thousands.
