also spoke at a meeting of the Washington unit of the American 
Rock Garden Society. 
A trip was made to Mt. Rainier where we stayed overnight at 
Yakima Park. A number of alpine plants were collected on Bur- 
rough’s Mountain. A collecting trip to Tipsoo Lake and_ the 
Chinook Pass was arranged by the local unit of the American Rock 
Garden Society. This proved very interesting. Mr. and Mrs. 
Carl S. English, Jr., provided transportation to Mt. Rainier and 
extended many courtesies during my stay in Seattle. 
A hurried trip to Victoria, B. C., disclosed many gardens where 
alpines were grown to perfection. 
In Vancouver, Superintendent Rawlings of the Park Depart-

of horticultural interest, including Stanley Park, many private gar- 
dens, and the summit of Grouse Mountain.

abreast of the literature in the field. Unfortunately, this has been 
impossible of accomplishment for several years, so that we are a

present working under the grave disadvantage of not having many
