lavender and crimson. This spot is now popular with artists, and 
during the past week a class from the Pratt Institute received 
instruction as to how to reproduce on canvas these marvelous 
colors, as well as the light and shade effects of the tall, dark, 
evergreens mirrored in the lake. 
Elsewhere in the Garden the Viburnums are in evidence; the 
Weigela, with its rosy, trumpet-shaped flowers, may be seen at the 
northeast corner of the Japanese Garden about the Irises, and also 
near the Local Flora close to Flatbush Avenue. The Azaleas, 
though waning, are still attractive near the southwest gate, and 
the Robinias or Locusts on the knoll west of the lily pools are 
displaying their long spikes of -white or rose-colored flowers. The 
Rock Garden, too, continues to be a never-failing source of 
pleasure. A. H. G.
