the north meadows, reserved for Bog Gardens were cleared 
and the ground occupied by the primary planting of willows 
and poplars. We will call this tract hereafter the Salicetum. 
The Viticetum arbor, built of rough logs cut on the grounds 
is planned to be the home of all climbing plants hardy in this 
latitude, and occupies a site to the west of the Hemlock 
Forest. As far as the plants could be procured this has 
been planted and cared for during the season. 
All plants of the Herbaceous Grounds, Fruticetum, Ar- 
boretum and Viticetum have been carefully mulched during 
the early winter. 
Respectfully submitted, 
SAMUEL HENSHaw, 
Head Gardener.
