The Anacostia Citizens Association is
claimed by its members to be the first
in the District of Columbia to conduct
a flower garden of its own. This has been
accomplished through the efforts of

terback is chairman, and with the as
sistance of Col. Spencer Cosby, superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds,
who gave several hundred plants from
the propagating gardens to carry out the
scheme The garden is located at Nichols
avenue and L street, and consists of four
large beds of flowers.
For several years the association has
complained of the condition of this prop
erty. the weeds being permitted to grow.
and it presented anything but a neat APP
pearance. Being located on the main
street in the suburb. several citizens felt
that visitors whose eyes beheld this open
space were not favorably impressed with
the suburb.
If the scheme works favorably 1t is
proba BILE that other vacant property In
the suburb will be treated in the same
manner.
