A choice collection of deciduous shrubs and evergreens, imported 

 from England, were received in excellent condition. A part of these 

 is included among the stock planted this season, and the remainder 

 form a part of the stock on hand for future operations. 



Two large trucks, especially adapted to the moving of large trees, 

 were constructed on the work in 1867, and have been in successful 

 and constant operation in the seasons proper for such work since 

 that time. 



Between five hundred and six hundred trees, ranging from four 

 inches to seventeen inches diameter, measured three feet from the 

 ground, have been taken up and transplanted from one to another 

 point more or less distant on the park, or from the outside, with en- 

 tire success. Not more than six have died that have been thus 

 moved. 



The largest tree moved measured seventeen inches in diameter at 

 three feet from the ground, and weighed, with the ball of earth at- 

 tached to the roots, fifteen tons. It was carried a distance of half a 

 mile, and so far as its present appearance indicates, without material 

 injury.
