a good lot ot mignonette, reseda (Henderson's large 
dowering). This sweet scented plant comes to perfec- 
tion and is much admired. The rose borders are con- 
structed so as to have an arch eighteen feet wide and 
ten feet high over the walks. The walk is six 
feet wide and the border five feet on each side. These 
two borders are planted with pansies every fall. Climb- 
ing roses that give satisfaction without protection are 
used, among which are: William Allen Richardson, 
Reve d’ Or, Cloth of Gold, Madame Alfred Carriere, 
Reine Marie Henrietta, Gloire De Dijon, Banksia 
White, Camarque, Celine Forestier. These give a 
solid bower, and below in the shade are the pansies 
talking and smiling by the thousands. These arch- 
ways are i,ooo feet in length. Some of our favorite 
varieties in borders and squares are: General Jaque-

This rose is par excellent of all the roses we grow. 
It is the largest and the cleanest of all. One rose 
measures six and seven inches across. Pappa Gau- 
tier, Nephetos, Regulus, Madame Plantier, Magna 
Charta, standard Roses are budded on our native wild 
rose. We have some budded ten years ago. 
We have a .small lake for water plants well stocked 
with gold fish and lilies. Most of the nymphaeas are 
from the Hawaiian Islands and the native plants that 
have been collected give a very attractive margin for 
this bed of beautiful water lilies. Another water scene 
is the lake, where we have the water fowls, sixty-five 
of them, collected in one year. 
Among the native trees and shrubs in this park 
two species. Blackberry, two species. 
The fern family are very numerous all over the 
woodland, some species growing as high as six feet in 
a season, and there is a wonderful undergrowth of 
many other plants. ) 
Beautiful Wright Park embraces thirty acres al- . 
mo.st in the heart of the city. The original site was % 
a ravine and was donated by C. B. Wright, of Phila- 
delphia, who was the founder of Tacoma. Sixteen « 
years ago it was laid out by- E. O. Schwaegerl, gard- it 
ener in charge, who left the city before it was com- , 
pleted. The present superintendent completed the M 
work and planted it. 
The place is now a veritable bower, with gravelly^* 
walks and roadways winding between a vivid^B 
greensward, relieved here and there with banks of^| 
flowers and rainbow-hued shrubbery. It contains two^B 
artificial lakes, some interesting rockwork and a rustic^H 
bridge with appropriate planting.
