Public Beds Over Capital,
Numbering $50, Now Be-
ing Beautified.
VAST QUANTITY NEEDED
FOR white HOUSE GARDEN
Charles Henlock. in Charge Of
Propagation, Directs Twenty Men
in Transplanting Work.

; The average Washinstonian who ad-
mires the flower beds in the parks
never realizes that every Individual
flower was raised in a little bed by
itself, and then set out by the Office of
public buildings and grounds. of which
Col William W Harts L. S. A., is di-
rector.
But such is the case. To beautify the
ESQ public beds in and around Wash
ington, beds ranging in size from four
teen to forty feet in diameter. between
900, 900 and 100000 bedding plants alone
were propagated last winter in the
greenhouses maintained by the govern
ment for this purpose.
Charles Henlock in Charge.
The actual work of propagation is
performed by Charles Henlock Mr..
Henlock, native Of England, began
his service in Clevelands first admin
istration. For the past six years he
has been in complete charge of the
greenhouses. of which there are thirty
two situated between the Washington
Monument and the Potomac.
Half of these greenhouses are used
for the propagation OF plants to be
used in the public parks and the other
SI
nish flowers for the White House and
it's grounds. This may sound like a
large number just to furnish the ex-
ecutive mansion. but when 1t is under
stood that 1000 herbaceous plants. to
say nothing Of Towering varieties, are
needed to maintain the colonial garden
south of the White House. the number
will not be wondered at
Planting the public parks every year
forms one Of the peaceful pursuits of
the War Department. under which is
the Office of public buildings and
grounds created in 1892. This office Is
said to be the oldest bureau in the
government, created to adjust ex-
changes between the original owners
of the District of Columbia and the
federal government.
