The mayor praises a 10 acre rose garden project in Boston planned by Professor Charles Sprague Sargent of Harvard. Sargent, director of Arnold Arboretum, would showcase every known rose species, marking a culmination of five decades of horticultural study.
Professor Sargent urged the city to fund a 10 acre rose garden at Centre street Jamaica Plain near the Arboretum. He outlined a $300,000 start with Harvard trustees to own and manage it, potentially naming the benefactor. Mayor Curley pledged strong support and explored Parkman Fund or White Bequest money to begin proceedings.
