size they might have a chance of becoming established. Red 
Pine and Western Yellow Pine thrive a short distance Northward, 
but we have had no success with these. In spite of city condi- 
tions a few of our conifers such as the Atlas Cedars, Himalayan 
Pine, Cryptomeria and others are outstanding trees in our Garden. 
Mr. C. F. Doney reports that a few new species and varieties 
were added to our collections, among them Quercus Libani, and 
Gleditsia sinensis. On the border mound some old plantings of 
common material, as Rhodotypus and Privet, were replaced with 
groups of such uncommon plants as Orixa, Cudrania and Staphy- 
lea hybrids. A collection of young hybrid Azaleas from the 
U.S.D.A. was planted near the south end of the Garden. With 
the practical discontinuation of the International Seed Exchange 
the number of plants in our nursery is sharply reduced. 
Gradually our lilac collection is being arranged by groups, with 
those not of the first rank separated. 
A list of plants in the new Desert Plant House was made by 
Mr. Doney and Miss Clarke. In the fall Miss Clarke assisted in 
the naming of our palm collection, about thirty species. 
Our collection of specimens of cultivated plants has been 
further improved and expanded. <A collection of specimens of 
Herb Garden plants was made. 
With Dr. Graves | gave a spring course on Trees in the Garden, 
Mr. Doney gave his usual courses on Ornamental Shrubs.
