THE ARMY'S PARKS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

In an inconspicuous corner of Poto-
mac Park. away from the we'll worn
ways of the sightseer, are the War
Departments greenhouses. These houses
have no connection with military mat
tiers, but are used for the propa cation
of all the various species of flowers,
shrubs and plants that ornament the
parks of the National Capital. with the
exception of the bulb supply, which
comes from Holland. This summer the
whole city is brilliant with beds of
rcd cannas, purple heliotrope and pink
and red geraniums, all of which have
been grown and planted by the War
Department.
Just why the administration of a
municipal park system including the
signed to the War Department has
never been satisfactorily explained to
the War Department itself, but the
popular story is that the parks origi-
nally were planned for military reasons.
At the time Mai L'Enfant was prepar-
ing his plans of the capital for Presi-
dent Washington the French revolu-
tion was drawing to an end.
\ young Corsican by the name of
Bonaparte had suddenly appeared,
placed his cannon in the center of the
public squares of Paris, and thus laid
siege to four streets at once. Immedi-
ately the mob rule was broken and re-
placed by martial law. and the whole
world including Maj. L'Enfant was
much impressed by the strategic quail
hcations of city parks. Hence Wash
ington was given many squares and
circles and triangles after the fashion
of Paris, and these were placed under
the supervision of the War Depart
ment.
