Almost 1,000 square feet of flagstone walk were relaid on 
Boulder Hill and in the Rock Garden. 
About 28,800 square feet of walks were resurfaced with cold 
laid bituminous pavement by the Works Progress Administration 
under the supervision of Park Department engineers. As a 
corollary, 3,800 feet of turf, edging the walks, was relaid. Con- 
siderable pruning of trees and shrubs bordering the walks was 
necessary to allow the manipulation of the automotive roller. 
EXHIBITS 
At the International Flower Show in March we installed an
