THE LIBRARY, 



Current library work has continued through the past 

 year on about the same basis as in 1905. The list of bio- 

 logical serials, reported on a year ago, though still unfinished 

 has now been brought very near the point where its pub- 

 lication can be considered. In addition to the prepara- 

 tion of this list, various sections of the library have been 

 -revised, and during the year some 7,700 of the catalogue 

 cards have been replaced by new and verified cards. 



Additions number 938 books, valued at $1,698.25, and 

 2,150 pamphlets, valued at S382.20, presented or received 

 in return for Garden publications; and 294 books and 239 

 pamphlets bought, the expenditure for purchases and 

 binding amounting to $1,786.29. One of the most inter- 

 esting of the accessions of the year is a series of publica- 

 tions on chrysanthemums and dahlias, presented by Mr. 

 Wilhclm Miller, associate editor of the Cyclopedia of Amer-
