Seattle 2nd Nov 1891
Department of Public Parks
Report on progress of work.
"Kinnear Park"
since last report there has been 1155 lineal feet
of walk graded 10 feet wide. 274 lineal feet
of walk covered with gravel and 4700 square yds
of grounds prepared for lawn and shrubs.
The upper portion of the park is nearly com-
pleted as far as we can until it is settled
whether we shall include Clover St which would
make a slight difference in the plan as to the
entrance at the corner of Clover St and
Olympic Avenue. The street dept is
putting in the gutter along Bluff St as re-
quested.
"City Park"
The portion cleared for the nursery is about
ready to be ploughed after which it will
be necessary to put some kind of a fence
around it to keep out stray cattle.
In the propagating benches are have the fol-
lowing cuttings and seeds. (List attached)
I would like to be allowed to send for
hardy bulbs for early spring planting
500 Anemone coronaria 500 Ranunculus
500 Anemone fulgens 250 Lilium
500 Roman Hyacinths 100Amaryllis
500 tulips.
Yours Respectfully James Taylor
