BOTANICAL GARDENS
iO HIE EDITOR,
Sir,—One fine Sunday, some few vleeks ago, many hundreds of people visited the begonia house of the Botanical Gardens. No one could stop and admire the beautiful blooms displayed, the crush in the rear would not permit that. People were being rushed through as quickly as possible. This is a situation that prevails most fine Sundays.
I believ c that the" time has arrived when this section of our gardens should receive a great deal of consideration from our Keserves Committee. A much larger house is urgently wanted, not only to display the magnificent collection we already have, but to enable expansion, and to make it possible for the public to admire the beauties displayed with greater leisure and with reasonable comfort.
I hope this now Mayor will visit the gardens with the councillors, and if this is done, I am certain they will realise how great (ho public interest is, and that a liberal sum will then be passed for extensions. It is extraordinary what a. wonderful show is niado under what must bo great difficulties. While on the subject of the Botanical Gardens, I desire to congratulate the Director of Reserves, on the steady improvements that are being effected, and tho consideration and courtesy that is extended to the public by his staff.— I am, etc..
20th April,
NATURE LOVER
