GARDEN COMMITTEE S REPORT. 6 



flation, as having been done with much skill, bringing out the merit of 

 each class of plants, either by hapjjy blending, or by distinct contrast of 

 colors. In some cases the best results may be obtained by this arbitrary 

 and artificial arrangement of bedding plants. Yet care is to be observed 

 that this system is not carried to a degree of sameness and stiffness which 

 shall make the colors obtrusive. Kothing of this was noticed in Mr. 

 Atkinson's work. On the contrary his taste, energy and good judgment 

 are manifest throughout the Cemetery. 



For skill and cax-e in the management of Mount Hope Cemetery a 

 gratuity is awarded of twenty-five dollars. 



All of which is respectfully submitted, 



For the Committee, 



W. C. STROJN'G.
