  Text	Flowers in the parks are sometimes a race apart - they seem so much better than our own and theirnurturing and naming more magic than culture. From Spring to late Autumn the living flower shows of London's civic gardeners are free to all - they deserve our notice and enjoyment... We suggest therefore that Kew is not merely for country cousins, that Regents Park is for gardeners as well as scullers and zoologists, and Londoners would do well to rediscover the Flower Walk in Kensington Gardens and find new floral pleasures in such little known ones as Hendon's Golden Hill and Streatham's Rookery... Some suggestions to horticulturalists (both Latin and English speaking). Chiswick House Grounds... Dulwich Park... Golders Hill Park... Gunnersbury Park... Hampton Court Gardens... Kew Gardens... Queen Mary's Gardens... The Rookery, Streatham Common... Southwark Park... Terrace gardens, Richmond... Waterlow Park... by London Transport
