Habitats which are more or less completed are as follows: 
1. Woodland Slope—TVhe upper end of the section provides a 
well-drained southward slope which can be kept moist in spots and 
which should ultimately be utilized as the source of a small brook. 
It has a fairly good covering of young trees, and will be an ideal 
slope for the earliest spring vegetation. Some of the planted 
material has been purchased, but the greater part has been col- 
lectec 
earn 
. Among these are several enormous clumps of cinnamon 
fern and some extensive fragments of turf with plants included. 
We have also scattered a large number of seeds of native plants 
in the area. During the past year the turf surviving between 
the trees was plowed under with the contents of several bales of 
peat. Plantings in this area include 500 specimens of Trilliiwn 
grandiflorum, several hundred hepatica, dog’s-tooth violet, spring 
beauty, Canada May-flower, etc. In the moister part a small 
erove of red maple (deer rubrum) has been set out; the upper 
part has been planted with white oak (Quercus alba). 
2. Sand Area—This habitat includes a small pond and ac 
any 
jacent 
areas of sand, some of which was transported to the Garden from 
the central part of Long Island. The species around the pond 
are mostly late-maturing, the chief plantings being the narrow- 
leaved goldenrod Solidago tenuifolia, Coreopsis rosea, and the 
handsome Stachys hyssopifolia. At the upper margin shrubs have 
been set out, notably inkberry (/lev glabra), black alder (/lex 
verticillata), bayberry, wild roses, ete. The adjacent sands have 
Ey 
been planted with Hudsonia, which up to the present time seems to 
be doing well, and with other species of plants characteristic of the 
sand barrens of Long Island and New Jersey. A total of fifty 
cubic yards of sand was obtained, of which a small portion has 
been used for the Arctostaphylos beds in the systematic collections, 
and for the margin of the bog; the rest has been used to form the 
Sand Area. 
3. The Bog.—The bog was constructed in 1915. Its contents 
were removed last winter and placed in the Sand Area. After a 
coating of asphalt, the concrete basin was filled to capacity with 
peat, and a peat area has also been formed around the borders. 
The plantings include Rhodora, Kalmia polifolia, Calla, and other 
members of our northern flora, together with a large number of
