| Description: | Caption: "Oriental landscape in Brooklyn--The authentic Japanese Garden in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens was the setting for the fall party ted by the Gardens to its members and friends. The Oriental garden, in which every object and plant has a symbolic meaning, is dedicated to the Shinto God of the Harvest. Charming Geisha girls in their native costumes pause on a bridge spanning a lake formed to resemble Japanese character for heart. Weeping trees and pines on the shore are trimmed and shaped in harmonious forms representing ideas about life" |
