The rose garden is to he surrounded by. a trellis six feet high for the training of climbing roses, pro- vided at appropriate points with eight- foot posts and cross pieces over the adjoining walk for the more vigorous climbers -and shorter posts for the pil- lar roses. It is planned also to have pergolas in the corners of the gar- den and special decorative features at the four entrances. At the most com- manding point on its main walk a low mound will be raised from which to view the garden. On this an appro- priate rose covered shelter is planned from which can be seen the Capitol, Washington Monument and many other notable buildings in Washington, as well as the old Lee Mansion at Ar- lington and the new naval radio sta- tion. Everything possible will be done to have a beautiful garden, as well as a test garden. Some of the from whom roses were expected last spring did not respond, others sent part and have sig- nified their intention of sending the balance this fall. It will take almost as many roses as we have received to finish planting the part of the garden begun this year. When we started planting in the -spring we fully ex- pected to require some of the unde- veloped h;ilf of the garden for plant- ing this fall and next spring. We are still counting on this additional room being necessary. I am sending a list of the roses we have and a sketch of the garden by which they may be lo- cated. Hoping for a continued generous support of the garden, and an > in- creasing interest in it, I am. Very truly yours, F. L. MULFORU, t^andscape Gardener. HUSK (;.\1!1)EN AKUANORMENT.
