Also tomorrow, the final of the National Invitation Tournament between Brigham Young and New York University will be played in Madison Square Garden...
...International Flower Show, which last week attracted some 300,000 flower lovers, who paraded through the Coliseum for the first, if fleeting, glimpse of spring. More than ever, it was a strange hybrid of beauty and banality, a midsummer's daydream constantly interrupted by nightmares. Lush gardens with brooks and splitlog benches, dogwood trees and primrose bushes delighted the enchanted while only a whiff away peddlers hawked scented sachets and the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The New York Botanical Garden's 500-ft. tropical rain garden, adorned with a climbing cissus vine and rock pool, was back to back with...
...Trays & Plastic Bottoms. Most of the country's flowers-and many of its newest varieties-are developed by wholesalers who cater solely to the burgeoning number of suburban garden markets.

"It was a garden of light," she says. That, combined with her native love of calligraphy, led her to study sign lettering, and soon to neon itself. "Neon is made out of a clear, light material-like glass buildings. Transforming the cultural world into the world of the laboratory, it brings art nearer to science." For her just-opened show in Manhattan...
