we do some demonstration plantings, to do some plantings around playgrounds in the District, and to plant exits and entrances that the District of Columbia controls on the highways; so that instead of coming into a bare highway that looks like the Jersey Turnpike, that the entrance to the City of Washington is beautiful.

You're thinking of Rhode Island Avenue or something like that.

Yes. Or New York Avenue. But I'm also talking about the big highways that come in. I don't know what she's going to do about that, but I hope the President will send a bill for the beautification of the District of Columbia.

You yourself have done something. I wish you'd tell about that.

I gave 10,000 azaleas for Pennsylvania Avenue at the cost of about $30,000, and I'm planning to give 200,000 daffodills for Rock Creek Parkway so as to make a beautiful display of daffodils along the parkway which will last more or less forever.
