At this park there is a large area covered with primitive forest- 
trees, though they have been very badly mistreated by allowing 
employees to mow and rake the ground, and subject this area 
to the same treatment that they would a lawn, thereby depriving 
the trees of their natural protection of leaves, and robbing the 
forest of its undergrowth of small trees, which would add to the 
park a beautiful woods effect — a treat to the lover of nature that 
can not be found elsewhere in close proximity to our city. 
The trees and shrubs in this park were thoroughly renovated 
and trimmed, and treated with fertilizer. They have taken on a 
vigorous growth, which indicates that they are responding to 
these cultural methods of treatment.
