A choice selection 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 inch- 

 es 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 entire 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 attached 

 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.
