southeast wing was occupied in October, house No. 6 with a 
study collection of varieties of the Boston fern, and house No, 7 
with a collection of cacti and other succulents, both installations 
being temporary. The three wings and the propagating house 
are known together as the “third section of the greenhouses,” 
having been constructed under the third contract. 
Children’s Building—The distance from the laboratory build- 
ing to the children’s gardens and other considerations of con- 
venience, made necessary the erection, on the site of the gardens, 
of a small building to serve for the storage of tools, registration, 
and toilet accommodations. In the preparation of plans an en- 
deavor was made to secure a design suggestive of a home rather 
than of a public building, and along colonial lines. Bids were 
opened by the Park Board on June 1, as follows:
