trees were added in the spring to the group already presented 
by Mrs. Sturgis, extending that collection through the little 
valley to the river road, including the triangle formed by 
the paths. These trees have made a very satisfactory 
growth during the past summer. A group of the red dog- 
wood, 20 trees, included in the gift of Mrs. Sturgis, was 
located just to the south of the ash collection. The forms 
of the English hawthorn were put in the east end of the 
area devoted to the plum and apple families. The plants 
of Laburnum were placed in the apex of the triangle in the 
area devoted to the pea family. 
Pinetum. The collections of Chamaecyparis and Junt- 
perus located at the terrace of conservatory range 1 have 
been extended in each case to the plaza. A number of plants 
in the pinetum collections which had died or become seriously 
injured were replaced with other individuals. The corner 
opposite the conservatory, formed by the new path, was 
planted with 16 trees of the Colorado blue spruce, taken from 
the nearby conservatory beds. A group of the tiger-tail 
spruce, Picea polita, was placed in the triangle formed by 
the two new paths. The coniferous collections represent 
about 285 species and varieties, embracing about 1,115 
specimens. 322 show labels have been added.
