6. Second Gardener's House. This is located near the 
easterly border of the Garden, in immediate proximity to the 
propagating houses and nurseries. 
7. Propagating Houses.—These have been located very 
near the eastern border, on land sloping to the south and pro- 
tected from the north and west by a dense fringe of standing 
trees. The cold frames and nurseries are in immediate prox- 
imity, it being regarded as highly desirable that all the work 
of propagation should be concentrated on a limited tract and 
at a place in the Garden removed from ready access by the 
visiting public. 
8. Stable.—A stable and accompanying wagon sheds are 
planned near the Bleecker Street entrance on the east side of 
the park, convenient to the nurseries and propagating houses. 
g. Rain Shelters.—It is deemed desirable that provision 
for refuge from sudden showers, additional to the large build- 
ings, should be made, and points for three rustic buildings 
have been selected. 
10. Four Closet Groups are planned for positions as in- 
dicated on the map, in proximity to the sewers. 
11. Second Horticultural House.—A second glass house 
of greater area than the one above described, is planned for 
future construction on land south of the Southern Boulevard, 
to be partially surrounded by the pinetum. This may be 
heated from the common power house. 
7. Specimen Trees. 
In planning the positions of roads, paths and planted areas, 
careful attention has been given to the preservation of all the 
perfect and healthy standing trees possible. The areas to be 
treated as forest will be subsequently described. In the sys- 
tematic planting of the pinetum, the deciduous arboretum and 
the decorative grounds, these specimen trees have been kept, 
even if they came into positions not demanded by the arrange- 
ment adopted. The arrangement of the deciduous arboretum 
has been so adapted that in many cases they come in place.
