Viticetum. 



A number of species new to the collection have been added 

 here, and the available space for many of the families is ex- 

 hausted. It will be necessary to provide additional arbor 

 room to properly accommodate more material. 



Nurseries and Borders. 



The material collected for several years in the area desig- 

 nated as the west nursery was in great part removed during 

 the past fall, much of it being transplanted to the borders 

 and extending their area to a considerable degree. Other 

 portions were transferred to the new nursery, a continuation 

 of what was formerly called the east nursery, and which is 

 still retained. As stated above, there are many species of 

 trees here which will soon be in a condition to transplant, and 

 these will largely add to the interest and value of the arbo- 

 retum, both deciduous and evergreen. 



The nurseries and borders are divided into sections which 

 are consecutively numbered. The plants in these sections, 

 and their section number, are being recorded as fast as pos- 

 sible, so that it will soon be possible to locate definitely any 

 plant desired. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Geo. V. Nash, 

 Curator of the Plantations.
