SHAKESPEARE GARDEN
NEW YORK — (JP)
The Shake
speare Club of New York wants
money for flowers and a new nose
for the bard. Members explain that
thee lub set up a Shakespeare gar
den in Central Park in 1915. In it
were put ICO plants mentioned by
the poet in his writing. There was
also a bust and other decorations.
Now less than half the original
plants remain and vandals have
broken the nose of the bust. En
thusiasts have been boning up on
the plants, helped by color pictures
from England. Some park officials
however, take a dim view of efforts
to restore the plants or repair the
bust. Some of the plants Just won't
grow in New York and others need
more cultivation than can be pro
vided, they say. The bust Just isn't
worth a repair Job, they insist.
