XIII 
•of Minneapolis is urging the legisla- 
ture to authorize a special bond issue 
of $300,000 to complete important im- 
provements in the parks, recommend- 
ed by Superintendent Wirth. The 
building of canals between Cedar 
Lake, Lake of the Isles and Lake Cal- 
houn, and the filling in of swamps at 
Interlachen are among the improve- 
ments planned; $100,000 is to be ex- 
pended for neighborhood parks and 
playgrounds. 
Commissioner of Public Works 
Pond, of Schenectady, N. Y., is soon 
to advertise for bids for shrubs and 
plants for the improvement of Cres- 
cent Park, in that city. 
The Terwilliger estate has offered 
to the city of Portland a tract of land 
a mile and a half long in South Port- 
land Heights for park purposes. 
Jens Jensen, superintendent of the 
West Park System of Chicago, has 
prepared plans for the development 
of a new park at Racine, Wis. 
Part of the appropriation of $20,000 
from the government for the com- 
pletion of the new bridge to connect 
St. Paul with Fort Snelling will be 
used for the construction of ap- 
proaches, including a small park on 
the St. Paul side of the Mississippi. 
FROM THE PARK REPORTS 
D. D. England, superintendent of 
parks at Victoria, B. C., tells in his 
first annual report of the construction 
of five miles of boulevards at a cost 
of $9,000, and a total expenditure of 
$21,400. Twenty thousand square 
yards of land in Beacon Hill Park 
have been parked and the mainte- 
nance cost in this park greatly reduced 
without sacrificing anything in 
efficiency. Mr. England is preparing 
a plan for a continuous boulevard sys- 
tem to connect the different parks, and 
recommends the puddling of the laxes 
and other extensive rehabilitation in

Comas Siberica Alba — Red T<wigged Dog'wood. A most beautiful Shrub 
as well as a hedge plant; for 
w ^er effect its stems and 
bra ches are a bright crim- 
son'* Unlike many of the 
othe'r Dogwoods, it is suited 
for hedge work, as many of 
them will not stand pruning. 
This variety originated in 
Siberia and is a special strain 
there being a number of 
others much like it, hut not 
so hardy or brightly colored, 
its hardiness and winter color- 
ing makes it very attractive 
for City Hedging; it is also 
valuable for clumping in 
shrubs.
