On March 26 all WPA workmen assigned on outside work 
through the Department of Parks were removed and the projects 
suspended for the remainder of the year. This was a serious 
matter for the Garden as it left several places on the grounds 
badly messed up and much needed improvements incomplete—in 
particular, the site of the Medicinal Plant Garden, the small ravine 
for Cryptogams on the south shore of the lake, the Pergola for the 
Fleece Vine, and work on the Local Flora Section. Our own men 
were able, during the spring, to complete the work on the Pergola, 
and to complete the grading and seeding of the site of the Medici- 
nal Plant Garden.
