FLOWERS IN MID-CITY
SEASONAL CHANGES In the rest room reserve in Manners Street the wallflower plants are being uprooted to make way for the seasonal change to begonias, which ought to make a pretty show towards the New Year. The director of parks (Mr. J. G. Mackenzie) explained yesterday that the idea in respect to such reserves was to keep them supplied with plants that bloom at different seasons throughout the year, so that there would always be something to gladden the eye of the passerby. For that purpose seedlings were raised in IzOXvs at the Botanical Gardens, under the most favourable conditions, and when the time came it was only a matter of a few days’ work to make the change necessary- in the mid-city reserves.
