even. It is surprising that such large plants can be transplanted without 
injury, except the death of some of the taller stems. 
The new pergola on the Bandstand Hill was planted with climbers, 
and a mixed border of flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants made on 
each side of it. By the end of the year the climbers had made good growth 
and several were flowering. Bougainvillea Cypheri being particularly 
successful. Jasminum rex has also made good growth. The shrubs round 
the outer path of the Bandstand Hill were re-arranged, complete collections 
of the species and varieties of Panax, Acalypha, Jatropha, Lantana and 
Brunfelsia being planted together. A further new Lantana called “Drap 
d’Or” was introduced from Hong Kong. The various Oleanders were 
grouped beside the road from the Bandstand to the Potting Yard. Among 
them are two newly introduced varieties from Queensland; these have made 
very good growth but have not flowered.

Crazy paving was laid in the centre of the small Zephvranthes terrace, 
with the object of displaying the use of the small plants which have grown 
so successfully in the crazy paved paths at Government House. A begin¬ 
ning was made with the re-planning of another terrace, but this was not 
concluded before the end of the year. The plans include the re-making of 
two flights of steps in better design and less steeply graded, the building 
of a low wall up to the next terrace, and the re-arrangement of beds. This 
will allow the effective display of more flowering shrubs of groups still not 
well represented in the Gardens. 
About a dozen more species of the ginger family, several species of 
Curculigo, and several kinds of small forest shrubs were planted in the 
Gingenvort Rockery. The plants added to the rockery in 1935 have done 
well, and the collection is now a very interesting and representative one. 
Buildings, etc .—The roofs of the Plant Houses were renewed by the 
Public Works Department during the year, and the office buildings repaired 
generally. The pumping engine, which for nearly 30 years has been used 
to supply water from the lake for the Potting Yard, Plant Houses and 
Bandstand Hill, being no longer serviceable, was renewed, also part of the 
piping. Two new concrete tanks for water plants were made in front of 
the Plant House.
