The Lunatic Asylum Grounds were put in order after the completion of the building of the additional storey; fresh plants were added and the remainder re-arranged.
In the Victoria Hospital Grounds, Ficus creepers on walls and elsewhere were clipped as required.
The lawns and grass banks were regularly weeded, cut and rolled.
Grass plots in Peak Garden, Government Pavilions and Villas were cut regularly throughout the summer, and the grounds kept in good order generally.
The new playground for children on the Peak was placed under the charge of this Department in July. The grass plot and banks were cut and a few flowering shrubs planted on the side banks.
The trees planted by this Department on the bank below the Peak School received frequent inspection and attention.
In connection with the extension of Kowloon British School Grounds, 25 Pine trees were cut down and removed.
Plants on the approach road to the Royal Observatory were pruned; a few were badly damaged or killed by careless soil-dumping by coolies working on the playground extension.
Two small trees in the Kowloon Children's Playground were removed to make room for the erection of swings, etc.
Long grass and Mimosa seedlings in West End Park were cut as required.
After every match the damaged turf on the Cricket Pitch on the Hongkong Cricket Ground was removed and replaced. The pitch was machined and weeded regularly and was given a dressing of well-rotted stable manure. This work was paid for by the Cricket Club.
Blake Pier was decorated with pot plants and palms on June the 10th on the occasion of the landing of H.R.H. the Crown Prince of Rumania.
In the Albany Nurseries, Cannas and Hedychiums were taken up, divided and replanted after the ground had been well manured.
The iron railings of the Upper Albany Nursery were damaged four times by motor-cars during the year; on each occasion they were put in order at the expense of the car owners.
