DEPAETMEXT KEPORTS. 141 



number of the ward where tlie plant may be seen near its label. Except in a 

 few cases little attempt has been made to place next to each other the fami- 

 lies which are nearest related, but considerable study has been devoted to 

 finding a place of suitable size, soil, light, sliade, and moisture to suit all the 

 plants of each family here represented. The semi-rustic condition of the 

 garden, the variety of views, the number of plants make it a favorite resort 

 for all lovers of nature. Especially is this the case with all who are inter- 

 ested in botany. The work has all been done by students under my over- 

 sight. With one exception no student has iiad the work in charge more than 

 one year at a time, and in some cases not more than one or two terms. This 

 has made it necessary for me to look after many details of arrangements, 

 labels, and additions.
