OPPORTUNITIES FOR FLOWER LOVERS 



The vicinity of Staten Island is rich in opportunities for 

 flower lovers. Apart from the gardens of our members, where 

 visits from fellow members are always welcome, we have in Silver 

 Lake Park, the greenhouses operated by the Park Department, 

 Hon. John J. O'Rourke, Commissioner, to which visitors are cor- 

 dially invited. The Third Avenue L carries one to the New York 

 Botanical Garden, where glorious displays are on view outdoors, 

 with orchids and other tropical plants in the greenhouses. The 

 great hemlock forest, the waterlily ponds and the rock garden are 

 special features. The Interborough Subway takes one to the 

 Brooklyn Botanic Garden where similar flowers are to be seen, in- 

 cluding also a Japanese garden. Of flower shows, besides our own, 

 there are others in the American Museum, the Grand Central 

 Palace, and elsewhere. So that, the year around, there are ample 

 opportunities for the flower lover.
