Nursery 
The erection of a fence north of the nursery improved condi- 
tions for many semi-hardy plants there. It would be desirable to 
have another fence in order to separate the plants we grow for our 
garden from those grown for exchange purposes. Among the 
plants, yet small, growing in the shade north of the fence may 
be mentioned Garrya elliptica, Acer circinatuim, Acer pennsyl- 
vanicum, and Libocedrus decurrens. South of the fence are Big- 
nonia capreolata, Kadsura japonica, Helwingia japonica, Araucaria 
imbricata, Cedrus Deodara, Hovenia dulcis, and many others.

frames, and propagating houses, and a part of the duplicates were
