Midget Crab, M. micromalus, were planted on the embankment 
immediately north of the Japanese Garden. 
Many duplicate trees and shrubs from our own nursery were 
set out on the Museum embankment north of the esplanade, 
The Narcissus plantings in the grass on Boulder Hill were ex- 
tended by the addition of 3,000 bulbs of the variety “ Sir Watkin,” 
and 1,000 of the variety “ Lucifer.’ 
Two thousand tubers of the Winter-aconite, Eranthis hiemalis, 
were planted on both sides of the brook, immediately south of the 
lower boulder bridge. 
Three beds in the Compositae area, formerly occupied by hardy 
asters, were planted with hardy chrysanthemums raised from 
seeds planted in the greenhouse in February. These beds made 
a fine display and created much interest, as did an adjacent bed 
of named varieties. 
Planting of vines, shrubs, and trees about the new Hills’ bridge 
was carried out in the fall according to a plan prepared by Mr. 
Caparn.
