Systematic Section: Herbaceous Beds 
The identity of material in the herbaceous beds is now nearly 
completely checked, and the two hundred or more additional 
labels which Mr. McCallum has on hand to be set out in the spring, 
will do much toward completing our labelling of the beds. Speci- 
mens from the rock garden and beds of the difficult genus Achillea 
were sent to Vienna to Dr. Heimerl, the specialist on this group, 
for verification, a proceeding which I hope can be carried out 
— 
with other notoriously difficult plants. 
The ecological section by the brook (beneath the willow trees) 
was considerably opened up by the removal of branches which 
had hitherto obscured the sunlight, and the digging out of Jris 
which had formed a turf throughout the area. The growth of 
golden club (Orontiwm), cardinal flower, and water hyacinth was 
very satisfactory during the past season.
