Zoological Society bulletin . a oz is. BEAUTIFYING THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK By Hermann W. MerkelChief Forester and Constructor THE planting of any zoological park ofmagnitude presents the same problemsand needs as those of other parks, withseveral others that are due to zoological con-siderations. Much additional planting is neces-sary, and some of the planting, which all rulesof landscape architecture demand, is not pos-sible on account of the inexorable, demands ofthe animal kingdom, as opposed to the possibili-ties of the vegetable world. For example, manyan ugly corner could be hidden by shrubbery ifthe animals would only refrain from eating suchplanting; and many a fine natural vista couldand would be preserved were it not for thenecessity of having the animals and shelterhouses and shade trees necessary to a zoologicalpark. Lakes and ponds would teem withaquatic plants if they did not teem with preda-tory wild ducks and geese; and the Cranes Pad-dock would be a fine smooth lawn if the cranesdid not consider it their life
