Goodrich Thursday, instead of Mrs. Lillian Gaylord as scheduled. Dr. W. W. Dailey, District -Super intendent, Olean, attended the Thursday night Lenten service a t the town hall, and preached. A meeting of the Official Board followed. Dr. Dailey reported that none of the bids received on -building the church had been ‘accepted. They had ranged with a difference of three thousand dollars between them. The main trouble was that the bids submitted did not follow specifications, but had other estimates included, as a bell, and elaborate heating system or a full electric equipment. All had been rejected and new bids called for. Considering a former vote to purchase 25 hymnals immediately from the fifty dollars donated by the Ladies’ Aid society of the Cat taraugus Methodist church, Dr. Dai ley suggested that in the extreme shortage of money (the church is far behind on this year’s budget), it might -be easier to secure the hymnals at a later date, than it would to get the fifty dollars. The song books ultimately could be from the Cattaraugus gift, even if the money wei'e put into the construc tion fund at present. Next week, Holy Week, there will be two seiwices, on Tuesday night, April 8 and Thursday night, April 10. At the latter. Communion- will be administered.

Nature’s ‘$ig Show’, Blossom Time, Attracts Host of Fans in New York Wide Variety of Gardems in State Are Open to Flow^ Enthissiasts, Eager for News of Favorites, and Ready to Travel Far for New Sights “Are the daffodils In bloom yet?” “When will the lilacs be in full flower?” “Would next Sunday be a good time to see the roses?” “When are the peonies at their best?” With the big show of the year on— Nature’s own blossom time—these are but typical of the many queries stream ing in upon those in charge of public gardens or other places where flowers may be seen? The flower enthusiast, no less ardent than the sports or music fan, hates to miss his particular favor ite. From the advent of spring until autumn frosts ring down the curtain “show” put on by 1,000 varieties of peonies from June 10 to 20. The New York State Institute of Applied Agri culture, Farmingdale, L. L, also has spendid flower gardens open for public Aside from tbe big parks and bo tanical gardens, delighting millions of nature lovers in the big cities of the State, nurseries in many sections invite public inspection. In the vicinity of Rochester there are several of these fine display grounds. The Jackson & Perkins gardens, for example, in New ark, N. Y., a town of some 7*000 popu lation, are said to at tract some 50,000 vis itors from June 15 to July 6, when the roses are at their best. It is also reported that prospective visitors within,a radius of 200 miles frequently call the nursery for infor mation about blossom A surprisingly large number of New York private gardens, repre- © Jackson & Perkins Co.

Children’s Assn. © Mattie Bdwarc One of several fine gardens at Corneli University, he—^more often she—thinks nothing of traveling many miles to see a rare display of blossoms, or of telephoning in advance to make sure not to be disappointed. New York State folks who love flow ers—^and they are legion—^have within their own borders an almost unrivaled variety of fine gardens, public and pri vate. These range from relatively small, intensely cultivated plots about homes, public buildings and other structures in population centers, to vast wooded estates, park lauds and reservations for wild life, some many miles from the crowded cities. On week-ends and holidays the h^ost of nature lovers are particularly active. A mecca for flower enthusiasts from all parts of the State are the Cornell University Gardens at Ithaca. In addi tion to a sizable rock garden and one devoted to both annual and perennial flowers, there are test gardens cover ing five acres. Highlights Include the senting the inner sanc tums of floral beauty, may be enjoyed by the enterprising garden fan who has membership in a garden club or takes the trouble to consult the right per sons. Ofttimes a tele phone call to the right party paves the way for these visits, usually made in organized groups. In the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State there are 250 clubs with a total of nearly 12,000 members, who frequently organize garden tours. In the past twelve years the West chester County Children's Association ‘ has arranged many interesting tours of private gardens In that county. One trip last year was to the garden of Miss Anne Morgan, Mt. Kisco. During 1941 trips are planned to the garden# of Mr. and Mrs. George Arents, Rye; Mr. and Mrs. Carll Tucker, Mt, Kisco, and Mrs. C. T. Newberry, Irvington. .. Among fine private gardens now open to nature fans, upon telephoned or written application to caretakers, is the Fairchild Connecticut Garden in North Greenwich, Conn.
