YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT FARNLEY. 



It c«:casio::al-y happens that local conditions, aided by the art 

 of man, resuli in some of the most perfect of Nature's beauty 

 spots being situated in close proximity to the busiest of manu- 

 facturing cities. Such an L;>: ;.-je occurs at Farnley. the 

 residence of Mr. A. H. Pa^v^c::. J. P.. the Fres'.j.ent of the 

 Yorkshire Natura^isrs' Union. In his exte::-. ^ ^.ounds are 

 gathered together the most interesting of Britisn wild plants. 



The Alpine Border. 



together with many rare Alpine forms, etc. These, aided by 

 rockeries and artificial boc. ^..^-ve been allowed to grow freely, 

 and exist in a state of kixu. je that could hardly be anticipated. 



When, in addition to the above, there is fine weather, such 

 as has rarely been experienced in recent years, it will be under- 

 stood that the President's garden party at his residence, on i6th 

 July, was most successful, and was largely attended by the 

 members of the Union. About 150 members were conveyed by 

 wagonette to Lawns House, Farnley. and, thanks to the care 

 with which all the arrangements had been made, an ideal after- 

 noon was spent. The gardens attracted principal attention.
