 Witnesses : 



OUR WORK AT WARRENSBURG. 



The planting so well organized and begun at our normal school 

 was a work in the right direction. 



Our nurserymen took hold of it well and many thanks are due 

 them for their good deeds. 



Prof. M. G. Kern has given a plan of the grounds and planting to 

 be done and desires it to go as a gift of the society. All thanks are 

 due him for this upbuilding of tree-i)lanting and ornamentation. 



A few such gifts by our society to our public institutions and we 

 shall become noted. 



If possible to publish this plan in our report for 1886, it will be 

 done.
