Council meeting. Zoning had been discussed,

open meeting with someone from Parks and Planning

QUESTIONS;
Ulric Hutton asked is anyone knew of
either a long leaf pine, sequoia or red wood
tree growing locally. Several suggestions
on the pine were made, and also that is is
advertized that the Arboretum has a specimen
of every tree grown in this country.

In the article on mulching- the use
of the black polythelene was made. Henry Owings
asked if the plants were not scalded in the hot
sun- no- the black surface protects them.

Edward Iddings has a Honey Locust-covered
with English Ivy- which has apparently been smothered

Douglas said it is alive. It was the consensus
of those woh know about such things, that something
else killed Edward's Honey Locust.

Grace Thomas was told that you can
