Nrs. Nelson's Good Planning Gives KU A Colorful Campus
The next time you look out from the top of Mt. Oread and see the sweeping view of rolling hills and valleys of Kansas, you can thank the efforts of Mrs. J. H. Nelson, chairman of campus planning, for the unobstructed scene.
Mrs. Nelson, wife of J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school, has meilonging in collecting
been the mainspring in getting branches clipped and trees taken out to clear the view from the top of the University. She has also been instrumental in planning the planting of trees, shrubs, and flowers to beautify the landscape.
"This is an over-all beautifying plan now in use," said Mrs. Nelson. "It is due to careful planning for future years on the part of Chancellor Malott to keep the campus looking nice."
1,000 Narcissuses
Some of the landscaping improvements have been the planting of over 1,000 ornamental flowering crab trees. The trees have been planted in a great crescent around the slopes of Potter lake and extend to the Union. More of the crab trees have been scattered on the slopes in back of Hoch auditorium and the other buildings on that side of the Hill. The trees have been planted in clumps of from 5 to 25 and are graduated in color from white to deep red blossoms, explained Mrs. Nelson.
1.000 Crab Trees
The gift of the class of 1947 was a landscaping of the ground in front of Lindley hall. The flowers were planted last fall so the graduating class might see them before they left.
Surrounding the walks is a band of 1,000 white and yellow narcissuses. In the center of the grounds are planted early blooming blue squills and crocuses. Virginia blue-
bells are distributed among the narcissus which bloom next.
The ground has a covering of myrtle, a low growing vine-like plant which keeps the bulbs cool in summer. Later on, irises, peonies, candytufts, and chrysanthemums will bloom. This provides a three season flower show.
Flowering pear trees, red-leafed maples, flowering dogwood, Japanese yews, magnolias, and a Canadian hemlock are trees which have been planted to beautify the front of Lindley.
In the center of the circle and the triangles located at both ends of Jayawk drive, are planted Mugho pines. Traditionally, the circle will have pink petunias growing in it. The young seedlings are in the greenhouse now awaiting transplanting. The triangle flowers have not been selected.

Robinson Has Shrubs
Take a look at the shrubs around Robinson gym the next time you are over there. This is the euonymus alathus or the wing-barked alathus. If you look closely, you will see that the branches have small ridges, like wings, growing on them. A band of them was planted there in the last three weeks. The effect was to make the steps look lower according to Mrs. Nelson. A band of seven maples have recently been planted in front of Robinson.
Four rectangular benches are being constructed in front of Haworth

A Colorful Campus
Meet For Cokes at the Eldridge Pharmacy 701 Mass. Ph.999
Prominent on the campus now are the redbud trees and the yellow forsythia shrubs. Honeysuckle is the low growing plant between the sidewalk and the street in front of Frank Strong. Plantings around the homes at Sunnside have been made under the direction of James Reiter, landscape foreman, to try to make them attractive and homelike. Mr. Reiter is now planting yellow pin pines in front of Oread hall.
Mrs. Nelson is enthusiastic about the shrubs she helped plant around Chancellor Malott's home. Wild gooseberries, prickly ash, wild plums, and yellow currants have been transplanted in the yard. Blue cedars and redbud trees are growing along the sides of the house. From the windows inside the house, tree branches form a green frame for the view of the Kansas country-side.
Students can be proud to show off the campus for the planning of the landscape has made K.U. the showplace of universities.
