Morphological Garden. There are in this collection 116 
specimens. Show labels have been supplied, making the col- 
lection available for study purposes. These labels indicate 
the special feature which it is desired each plant shall illus- 
trate, giving in addition the common name of the plant, this 
name agreeing with the one on the same species in the her- 
baceous collection in the immediate neighborhood. A larger 
topical sign is supplied for each bed, indicating the general 
feature illustrated by the plants. 
Fruticetum. There have been 27 species and varieties, 
represented by 42 specimens, added to this collection by 
transferral from the nurseries. Specimens in the nurseries 
belonging to such families as were in the areas where con- 
struction work was in progress were not transplanted, as it 
was feared that the hauling entailed by construction might 
seriously injure or destroy them if placed in position now. 
There are at present in place in this collection 527 species 
and varieties, represented by 1,011 specimens. ‘There are in 
the nurseries, in addition to these, 151, making a total of 
678 species and varieties for the shrub collections. This is a

part to the death of some of the less hardy specimens which 
never fully recovered from the severe winter of 1903-4. 
Salicetum. The collection of willows and poplars in the 
north meadows includes 45 species and varieties; there are 
125 specimens in place. 
Deciduous Arboretum. 'The collection here comprises, in- 
cluding those native to the tract and those in the nurseries, 
249 species and varieties. In the arboretum alone there are 
363 specimens, of which 22 were added during the past 
year. Here, as in the fruticetum, some of the less hardy 
plants succumbed to the severe weather referred to. 
Pinetum. The area devoted to the conifers was consider- 
ably enlarged by the planting of the large knoll to the east- 
ward of the conservatories ; the collection of junipers was also 
increased by extending it to include the south corner of the 
conservatory terrace. This collection now embraces, includ-
