24 KEPOET OF THE 



oped plantations of Rhododendrons, Kalmias, hardy Azalias, 

 &c, a BLumber of choice plants, to localities suited to their 

 growth and where they were brought into public view and 

 proved to be a source of interest to visitors. Some loss and 

 injury is sustained each year to our flowering shrubs and 

 plants by visitors, principally women and children, who cannot 

 be made to realize the harm that is done by their depredations. 



There are distributed throughout the plantations of the park 

 many groups and specimens of clioice and often rare varieties 

 of deciduous and evergreen trees, both of native and foreign 

 origin. Numbers of these have attained to an exceptionally 

 fine state of development and individuality. 



To visitors interested in a more than casual view of these or 

 who ma}* be desirous of more closly familiarizing themselves 

 with the range of composition of the park plantations, some 

 of these varieties are enumerated and their general locality 

 designated.
