Three concerts were given on the lower terrace of the Old Garden during the year by the Band of the King's Own Scottish Borderers.
The total number of trees, shrubs and plants sold during the year was 1,886.
Government House Grounds.-A number of Chrysalidocarpus lutescens were planted to form a screen on the east side of the guard house.
Tennis lawns were regularly watered during the dry season and were further given such attention as they required; grass banks were regularly cleared of undergrowth.
The whole of the interior of the house was decorated on June 4th, the occasion of the Birthday of His Majesty the King; portions of the house were decorated on several other occasions during the year.
Mountain Lodge Grounds.-A number of young trees of Cupressus macrocarpa, Cunninghamia sinensis and Casuarina equisetifolia were planted in various portions of the grounds to replace those destroyed by the gale during the previous year.
Lawns were given such attention as they required and the valley was cleared of undesirable undergrowth.
Colonial Cemetery.-A number of Chrysalidocarpus lutescens were planted as a screen near the caretakers' quarters.
The grass plots on either side of the central walk were planted with a row of Phoenix roebelinii.
A number of trees overgrowing and likely to cause damage to headstones were removed.
All grass plots and banks were given such attention as they required.
Kowloon Hospital Grounds.-The extensive grounds of this hospital were taken over by this Department in January.
The major portion of the grounds was laid out as lawns and grass slopes, and in suitable areas flowering shrubs and Palms were planted; owing to the force of the wind which blows across the grounds during the greater part of the year, the flowering shrubs have not grown well.
Bamboo hedges were planted to act as a screen between the various blocks of quarters.
A row of shade trees (Aleurites triloba) was planted by the side of the main approach road.
