30 "MEMORIAL GARDEN ~STARTEDBY D.A.R. Horticultural Gifts Arrive From as Far North as Alaska. A “friendship garden,” in honor of Mrs. Alfred J. Brosseau, president gen- eral of the Daughters of the American :Revolution, has been started on the grounds of the D. A. R. Building, under the direction of Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, organizing secretary general and chair- man of the buildings and grounds com- mittee of the society. Plants, flowers, shrubs and trees have been donated for the garden by mem- bers of the national board of manage- ment and in most cases flowers typical of the different States of the senders have been sent for planting in the garden. Although the first bulbs for this memorial to Mrs. Brosseau were planted last April, flower seeds, plants #nd small trees continue to arrive. The first plantings were made upon a 3- foot strip around the hedge on C and D streets, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth. Iris, tulips and narcissus bulbs have been arranged on the grounds so that with the blooming, passersby will enjoy a riot of color, unexcelled for beauty in the District. Horticultural gifts have arrived from distances as far North as Alaska: from Maine to Florida and from the Eastern States to California. It is planned eventually to rearrange the planting with .the completion of the new Con- stitution Hall and the dedication in April of the memorial statue by Mrs. | Harry Payne Whitney commemorating the services of the four pioneer women of the D. A. R. Under the direction of an expert landscape gardener, it is expected that the permanent arrangement of the gar- den will be completed by early Sum- mer. Among the gifts which have been received are forget-me-nots from Alaska, California poppies from their native State, plants from Georgia taken from the home of George Walton, signer of the Declaration of Independence; iris from original bulbs in the garden of the old North Church, in Boston; Hawthorne bushes from the battlefield THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1929. Crows Outguess Sportsmen Setting Blast for Rookery By the Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho, February 22.—The battle of wits between a numberless flock of crows and sporismen who had planned to dynamite the birds' rookery near here finds the advan- tage on the side of the black rav- agers. Upward of a million erows awoke this morning untattered because they had outguessed, temporarily at least, the sportsmen. An investigatioi made by Ada County Fish and Game League offi- clals, who are sponsoring the dyna- miting of the rookery, revealed that the crows were still wary of the dis- turbed condition of their roosting place and refused to go back in as large numbers as formerly. The explosive was planted for ac- tion last Sunday night, but the pres- ence of a large crowd of onlookers frightened the birds, and they have steadfastly refused to return to their rookery. The crows were declared to be a menace to the flocks of hungry ducks in this vicinity be- cause they ate much of the grain distributed for the game birds.
