habit of looking worthless weed II Is
against the rules 10 carry flowers into or out OF
Prospect Park hut there is no prohibition against
goldenrod In The dogwood Towering season the rule
Is strictly enforced and cyclists no come up from
the direction of Coney Island with trophies In the
shape of dogwood branches compelled TO take
the route around the park The reason for this is
that there are many dogwood trees in the park
and the blossoming branches might be obtained
surreptitiously on the forbidden ground. This Is
not the with godenrOd. Handsome as II is. II
