The maple sap in this garden is being gathered into tall cans these spring days, and then will be boll- ed down to the most delicious sy- rup. It is a good plan to plant some sugar maple trees this spring and very soon they will be large enough for tapping.

An illustrated copy of the New York's Botanical Garden's new show at the Bronx has been re- ceived from a -friend. "New York- ers stepped out of New York in snowtime into Holland in Tulip Time when five thousand tulips opened in the show and all this month there will be many of these wonderful flower shows. New York- ers have had a long winter as well as others who live in Eastern Can- ada and there is some psychologi- cal urge to see flowers grow.

There is a chapter on Garden Design bv Percy S. Cane and he stresses the gardens and the plant- ing which can be beautiful and still be easy to care for in these days of austerity.
