 estate is 1 t.TKt acres in extent, and is heinjj usetl 

 to sonu- extent for forestry purposes. 



TUi' same fjeuerous donor gave to the city the 

 IJouken (iieu Park of 22(1 acres, one of the most 

 deliirhtful i.arks iji Britain. W'itliin tlie covei-s 

 of this small hook there is an immense amount 

 of information regarding the provision for ganu»s 

 of all kinds, in fact it would seem that nothing is 

 wanting ft>r the education, enjoyment and 

 recreation of the citizens, old and young. The 

 work of «ontrolling a dei)artnient so vast and 

 varied in its ramillcations calls for a synii)athetic 

 comnuttee. and a man of the highest adminis- 

 trative and organising ability. 



Mr. .lames Whitton, V.M.H., who has heen 

 Superintendent for twenty yeai-s. is a well known 

 and capal)le gardener, and has thrown abundant 

 energv and the keenest intelligence into the task 

 of ren'dering the Parkland (iardens of (ilasgow 

 of the utmost service in everyway to the citizens, 

 and a model for other large industrial cities.
