 AKBOEETUM AND BOTANIC GARDEN. 



Notwitlistanding the severe winter of 1903-4 there were not many more trees and 

 shrubs winter killed than --usual, owing to the deep snow which protected the roots and 

 the lower part of the trunlc, but the killing back of the trees was severer than in 

 other years. Further additions were made to the collection of trees and shrubs and to 

 the herbaceous perennials. Of trees and shrubs 343 specimens representing 291 species 

 and varieties were added, making the total number of species and varieties of trees and 

 shrubs alive 3,132 when winter set in. The addition to the collection of herbaceous 

 perennials was not large this year, but there are over 400 species and varieties avail- 

 able for planting next spring. A bulletin on herbaceous perennials is being prepared.
