Because the <br /> presence of mature Douglas -fir and oak trees is a substantial part of the <br /> aesthetic value of the garden, every effort should be taken to make appropriate <br /> adjustments in both the irrigation delivery system and application of volume of <br /> water. <br /> c <br /> Attachments: <br /> Correspondence from Peter Torres, July 22, 1999; Ginny Alfriend, August 24, 1999; and Scott <br /> Ferguson, August 17, 1999. <br />
