the Borough of the Bronx. The grounds are open to the

24. Entrances

1. Mosholu Parkway. 2. Bedford Park Avenue. 3. 
Southern Boulevard. 4.Iris Garden. 5. Linnaean Bridge. 
6. Mansion Approach. 7. Arboretum entrance (not yet

way. 10. Woodlawn Road. 
25. Roads and Paths 
An elaborate series of driveways provides several miles of 
Telford-Macadam roads, most of which are now con- 
structed. 
Paths located so as to lead to all the principal features 
are included in the plan, with an aggregate length of over 
fifteen miles and approximately three-fourths of this system 
has already been built, and there are several miles of forest 
trails. 
All the roads and paths have been located so as to do no 
damage to the natural features of the grounds, particular 
care having been taken to save all possible standing trees 
and to avoid disturbing natural slopes except in the im-~ 
mediate neighborhood of the large buildings, where con- 
siderable grading has been necessary, but even here the 
study has been to adjust the new surfaces so that they shall 
merge imperceptibly into the original ones. Ornamental 
masonry retaining walls, made necessary by the grades of 
the roadways, have been built at the Mosholu Parkway 
entrance, at the Woodlawn Road entrance, and at the ap- 
proach to the Elevated Railway Station, and vines have 
been planted at the bases of these walls which partly clothe 
them with foliage. The Bronx Boulevard, bounding the 
Garden to the east, is supported along part of its length 
by a high rubble-stone retaining wall.
