Black and white photographic print depicting Conservatory on Belle Isle, with a lily pond in the foreground.
Caption taped to verso reads: Special to Motor News; Belle Isle - - Amid a veritable forest of botanical delights is the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory which features a year-round series of flower shows. Fall visitors will find a blend of the best of summer flowers giving way to the Conservatory's chrysanthemum show (about November 1) which continues until just before Christmas. Hours: 9 to 6 daily. On the eastern end of Belle Isle, especially along the winding roads of Wildwood Pass and Oakway Drive, visitors may drive by and stop to feed deer herds that come out of the deep woods from time to time each day. Other island attractions open in the fall include the Aquarium and Dossin Great Lakes Museum.
