I-AYING OFT THE N7^\V FLOWER GARDEN, ASSINIBOINE PARK; PREPARING THE GROUND. 
pavillioii was widened, and from there 
to the south entrance a straight drive 30 
feet wide with an 8-foot walk on each 
side, with a double avenue of trees, was 
made and planted. Work on the 
dower garden near the southeast en- 
trance was commenced on May 29th. 
The lawn was sown with a special mix- 
ture of seed, the beds were planted with 
197,2 shrubs and 1920 perennials. Large 
patches in the beds were sown with 
annuals, and in June 9,600 plants of 
asters, stocks, etc., were planted. In 
spite of the fact that no water was at 
that time available, and that no rain fell 
until July 11th, the growth made by 
everything was marvelous, the lawns 
and beds in August being a picture of 
THE COMPLETED FLOWER GARDEN, ASSINIBOINE PARK, WINNIPEG.
