the stone abutment of the Woodlawn Bridge was extended, 

 and this carried out onto the embankment of the road; 

 the west bank of the upper lake was planted with red and 

 yellow-stemmed Cornus; the bank extending from the 

 Boulder Bridge to the path dividing the lower from the 

 middle lake was planted with North American shrubs; 

 in the small beds on the Boulder Bridge were placed plants 

 of the shrub yellow-root; in the small lake on the east 

 side of the river, just north of the same bridge, were planted 

 a number of water lilies; at the south end of the salicetum, 

 along the roads and paths, groups of willows and Cornus 

 were set out; a portion of the triangle in the same vicinity, 

 opposite the Spiraea collection in the fruticetum, was 

 planted with Spiraea, and a point about opposite this 

 across the road was planted with Deutzia; at the North 

 Bridge 12 red oaks were planted, 3 on each side of the road 

 west of the bridge, the remainder on the north side of the 

 road east of the bridge; at the southwest corner of the 

 same bridge a group of Forsythia was installed, and im- 

 mediately across the path from this a group of Weigela. 



The most important and extensive spring planting was 

 of rhododendrons and mountain laurels. These plants 

 were mainly secured by purchase, a few being obtained by 

 exchange. The bank at the east end of the upper lake and 

 the adjacent triangle were planted with two American 

 rhododendrons, R. maximum and R. catawbiense, with some 

 mountain laurel and a few other shrubs. The planting 

 of rhododendrons on the neighboring bank was extended, 

 and a group of them and another of mountain laurel were 

 placed at the west end of the Boulder Bridge. 



During the fall, the following planting was done: at 

 the east end of the Long Bridge a group of Japanese bar- 

 berries was placed on the south side of the road, and on 

 the south side of this bridge the group of viburnums was 

 extended; in the fruticetum, the bank dividing the path 

 from the road, opposite the pea, honeysuckle and thistle 

 families, was planted with shrubs belonging to those families ;
