Plants and Planting 
Through valued cooperation with the American Iris 
Society a very extensive new collection of irises has been 
planted in the area of the horticultural gardens south of 
the herbaceous garden, under the supervision of Dr. 
Gleason, Assistant Director; details of this installation 
may be found in his report hereto appended. 
Dr. Southwick, Custodian of the Herbaceous Grounds, 
has supervised and personally constructed a new and 
large fern-garden at the base of the rocky hill at the south- 
ern end of the herbaceous garden valley; he has collected 
and planted there many of the hardy ferns of our region 
in large quantities and has assembled many more for 
planting there in the spring; he has also accomplished 
much work in transforming this hill into a large rock garden, 
and it is proposed that he prosecute these works to com- 
pletion next season; they cannot fail to be very attractive 
and instructive additional features. 
Dr. Howe, Curator, largely increased the collection of 
Dahlias planted in the border at the railroad station,* and 
this was of great interest and beauty throughout the 
autumn. 
All other plant collections were in charge of Mr. Nash, 
Head Gardener and Curator of the Plantations, assisted 
by Foreman Gardeners Becker and Finley and by Mr. 
Hartling, his immediate assistant; Mr. Boynton, Super- 
visor of Gardening Instruction, aided when his other 
duties permitted. Not much change was made in the
