MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 23 
every month, one or more articles from the BULLETIN, the 
demand for this publication all over the United States is 
rapidly increasing. Visitors from the East and the far West 
not infrequently ask to see some special plant or collection 
which they have read about either in the BULLETIN or in some 
publication copying one of our articles. 
Both the ANNALS and the BULLETIN are supplied to regular 
subscribers; separates of the various articles in the ANNALS 
are also for sale by the library. The cash receipts from such 
sales for the year were $407.00.
