Department of Rural Art. cxix 



ited space now at our disposal in the College of Agriculture. In 

 case of moving, additional drafting room furniture will be neces- 

 sary, such as tables, stools, etc., but to no excessive cost. 



IV. PUBLICATIONS. 



As yet the Department has issued but one publication, Mr. Tay- 

 lor's bulletin upon shade trees. This pamphlet has been widely called 

 for, showing the desire of the public for publications of this na- 

 ture. This year it is our intention to issue one, or possibly two, 

 bulletins dealing primarily with the improvement of the home, both 

 rural and suburban. It will be our purpose to fully illustrate these 

 with plans and photographs,. 



V. CAMPUS WORK. 



Mention should be made of the further improvement of the 

 grounds of the College, for there is yet much to be done. Consid- 

 erable grading and planting will have to be done about the new 

 greenhouses. We will at least complete our plan of the grounds 

 to take in this section. In connection with this Campus work, it is 

 our hope that in the near future we can have set aside for our 

 Departmental use a small plot of ground as a permanent nursery, 

 not only for the supply of planting material for the grounds, but 

 for laboratory work as well. 



During the summer we have made plans for a small Linnological 

 out-of-door laboratory to be built for Professor Needham, south of 

 the little school building, which will be most attractive in itself 

 and add much to the appearance of the school grounds when fin- 

 ished.
