HC Deb 08 March 1860 vol 157 c111
SIR ANDREW AGNEW

wished to ask, Whether it is the intention of the right hon. Gentleman the President of the Board of Works to restore the shrubs and flowers in the Green Park facing Piccadilly, and in Hyde Park from the Marble Arch to Kensington Gardens. He might state that the orders of that Board had been rather erratic of late, and that a great many thousand young trees had been rooted up and destroyed.

MR. COWPER

said, he had to inform the hon. Baronet that arrangements had been made for planting both shrubs and flowers along the edge of Hyde Park and also along the boundary of the Green Park, and that the work would be proceeded with when the weather and season were favourable.
