From the report of Alfred Gundersen, Curator of Plants. About 
40 new species or varieties of plants were added to the outdoor col- 
lection. Among these were Decumaria barbara, Danae racemosa, 
and varieties of /lex crenata and Buddleia. About 200 shrub 
labels were put out. 
Victory gardening continues to attract considerable public in- 
terest, and Mr. Free states that the Demonstration Victory Gar- 
dens at the south end of the Esplanade were maintained as during 
the previous year. Eighteen thousand square feet of ground were 
made available for vegetable culture in the Experimental Field. 
These were divided into 20 plots 20 x 30 ft. and 15 plots 20 x 20 
It, which were tilled by 35 employees of the garden on their own 
es 
The Children’s Gardens, although not Victory Gardens in the 
special way we now understand the term, were productive and 
gave gardening training to about 200 eight to fourteen year olds.
