of the grounds. 
In ail these respects the Director has intelligently and 
faithfully sought to carry out the desire of Mr. Shaw that 
the attractive and ornamental features of the Garden should 
be maintained and increased. His efforts to that end have 
been aided by the suggestions of the Garden Committee, 
who have regularly devoted one afternoon of each month 
to an inspection of the Garden and grounds and conference 
with the Director, and have been supported by the cordial 
co-operation of the Board. 
The cash receipts and expenditures since the Board have 
been in possession of the property, for sixteen months from
