Boulder Hill 
As mentioned in my report for 1930, over 400 square yards of 
ground were prepared for Rhododendrons. In the spring, addi- 
tional beds were made, bringing the total area to be planted up to 
over 500 square yards. With the exception of a few purchased 
bushes of Rhododendron catawhbicnse sufficient material for fur- 
nishing this area was obtained by replanting and spreading our 
Rhododendrons that were set out in 1919.

Japanese Garden 
The slope west of the White Pine grove, which was in a very 
rough condition, was regraded and seeded to lawn grasses. 
The hill above the upper waterfall was raised and regraded 
under the direction of Miss Averill. 
About 2000 plants of Pachysandra termunalis, obtained by di- 
vision of stock on the grounds, were set out to form a ground 
cover under the shrubbery inside the tea house entrance. 
Ornamental Planting 
Nearly two hundred Peonies in 70 varieties were planted in the 
Conservatory Garden. Four large //lev crenata were moved from 
the Border Mound to form part of a mass planting at the south 
end of the Conservatory Garden. 
Two thousand plants of Bluets (Houstonia caerulea) were 
planted in the grass around the pool just north of the lower 
Jenkins Bridge, and amongst the Viburnums. These gave a sat- 
isfactory display in the spring but it remains to be seen whether 
they will be a permanent success. 
Twenty flowering trees and shrubs (Peach, Hawthorn, Ior- 
sythia, Weigela) were planted for training on the woven wood 
fence of the Japanese Garden. 
Thirty trees of the Carmine Crab and thirty of Sargent Crab 
were planted on the hill east of Cherry Walk. 
Miscellaneous 
The Schwedler Maples (80 in all) on either side of the 
Esplanade were fertilized by the “punch hole” system, using a
