this garden a place to remember
their dear ones.
Garden Abounds With
Historic Associations.
In the fragrant box, much OF 1t
with historic associations, the lofty
yew trees, cedars of Lebanon from
the Holy Land, holly and magnolia
trees, perennial borders, sweet
scented herbs, roses, lilies and old
fashioned flowers as well as ancient
stone, rare Norman and Gothic
carvings and other stone salvaged
from the past Of Christianity, are
memorialized mankind's ideausm
and progress through the centuries.
The Bishops Garden is replete with
such time-binders. But gardens.
even such enduring ones as the
Bishops Garden, do not grow of
themselves. Vigilant care is needed
to guard the plan behind it, constant
replenishment is necessary, due to
the ravages of time and weather
and, above all, the spirit of the gar
den itself must be preserved.
To this high mission All Hallows
Guild is dedicated and Washington.
IN its pride and pleasure ina its
achievements, will do all it can to
aid the Pilgrim Steps flower mar
ket and thus aid the guild in carry
ing on its wonderful work.
