4 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
Construction and repair work has been of a more or less 
routine character. A new concrete bridge leading from the 
wild flower garden into the arboretum was completed, and a 
sprinkling system installed in the rose garden and perennial 
garden. Two of the boilers established at the time the central 
heating plant was built were retubed, and certain other minor 
changes in the heating system were attended to. The rock 
work in the succulent house was rebuilt, and this permitted 
the inclusion of many new specimens as well as the rearrange- 
ment of the older plants. Particular attention was paid to 
painting, including over a mile of wire and iron fence sur- 
rounding the Garden, as well as inside work on the floral dis- 
play and palm houses.
