Everything possible was done by hand, even where machine 
tools would have made far more rapid progress. The landscape 
architect’s perspective view of the ideal toward which we are 
working in this development was shown as the frontispiece of the 
1933 Annual Report. 
The project, supervised by Mr. Caparn, was under the general 
supervision of the office of the Borough Engineer, Mr. Frank J. 
Lynch. 
The Garden is under obligations to Borough Engineer Lynch 
and his staff, and to Park Commissioner Moses and his staff, 
including Mr. F. H. Gross, Borough Director for Brooklyn. It 
is a pleasure to express here our appreciation of their cooperation. 
The area is now ready for planting, except for the erection of 
four stone pillars for each of ten pergolas. The order for these 
pillars was placed before the end of the year and their delivery 
and erection are expected early in 1935. The area, when planted, 
will be known as the “‘ Horticultural Section.” 
Wall Garden—An important feature of the “Horticultural 
Section’? will be the Wall Garden, begun and completed ready 
for planting in 1934. This feature lies against the Mt. Prospect 
Reservoir embankment, on the west side. It was necessary to 
build against this embankment a reinforced concrete wall (Fig. 2). 
In front of this the wall-garden wall was constructed partly of 
roughly rectangular stone blocks, and partly of glacial boulders, 
properly laid and with an abundance of topsoil between the stones 
and between the concrete wall and the outer wall. So far as we 
can ascertain, this, when completed, will be the only example of a 
wall garden in a public park or garden in America. Its total 
length is 385 feet. 
Administratively, we must realize that an area, like the North 
Addition, of between three and four acres, intensively developed, 
will require the entire time of several men, including skille 
gardeners, to care for it properly. When its planting has ma- 
tured, it will be one of the most beautiful approaches to a public 
garden. 
This development also makes it increasingly urgent that the 
entrance gate at Eastern Parkway be built as soon as possible. 
The architect’s design for this gate has had the approval of the
