The temporary service yard has been screened in by about 
48 large shrubs, all of which were moved from the site of the 
greenhouses. 
Labelling and other Clerical Work 
During most of the summer and thereafter I have had the 
assistance of Mr. Cullen Adlerblum, who, until his formal ap- 
pointment on September 1, aided in the work of this department 
very satisfactorily and without compensation. The following 
table indicates the number of species added to the collections 
during the year:

Accession numbers 774-2512 were assigned during the year.

thing of work of this character, it is hoped that a large number 
of show-labels may be made during 1913. 
There have been added to the herbarium about 4,000 speci- 
mens, three hundred of which were collected from the cultivated 
collections. 
Personal Activities 
During the year I have visited Boston and the Arnold Ar- 
boretum on June 3-10, and on October 23-25; on May 12 I went 
to Brookline, Mass., and during the second week in July I went 
with you to Ottawa and Montreal to arrange for an exchange
