Too Much FAMILIARIrY.-The practice of
children and older persons of picking off
flowers and shrubbery from the plants and

that there is a willful disregard OF orders in
relation to the same which is constantly de-
priving the grounds Of their beauty, and, in
many cases. producing actual injury. 1t Is
the duty of the State gardener To imme-
diateiy arrest and prosecute al persons who
modest any OF the flowers or shrubbery upon
these grounds, and he intends hereafter to en-
force the law in relation to the subject.
