THE FORESTIAL-BOTANICAL GARDEN IN CHARLOTTENLUND 

 AND THE GARDEN AT THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 



Relore the year 1863 no instriictions were given at the agriculr 

 tiiial college to horticulturists and foresters. The former received 

 instruction where they were apprenticed, ttie latter took lessons at 

 the polytechnicuni and were examined by a comniission with Jonas 

 Collin in the chair. This comniission proposed in the year 1838 to 

 lay out a smaller arboretum close to the metropolis and in conse- 

 quence herewith an area of 8 Td. (c. 11 acres = 4 hekt.) in the 

 southwestern corner of Charlottenlund forest *was destined for the 

 named purpose. This garden was rearranged in 1863 at which epoque 

 the foreslry-studium was transferred to the agricultural college, and 

 since the year 1869 the forest-garden has been }Hit under the same 

 college. 



The old veterinary-college had a small garden where medicinal 

 herbs were grown, but this garden has been of no significance. In 

 1858 when the veterinary college was removed and enlarged to an 

 agricultural college, a garden was laid out around the buddings. This 

 garden was planned out by A. Bentzien, while the selection of 

 piants was made by professor Joh. Lange assisted by R. Rothe 

 and A u g. Weilbach. In 1863 when the course for horticulturists 

 was put under the institute, the garden was enlarged with an orchard. 



Owing to the frowns of fortune the two gardens here mentioned 

 have been limited in area; thus in 1895 the forest garden in Char- 

 lottenlund had to make over ^/a Td. area to the railways and in 1892 

 the agricultural college was enlarged, and the garden must yield the 

 necessary area. 



Since 1869 the two gardens have been under the same guidance; 

 this charge was firstly put in "the bands of the lecturers of botany 

 and horticulture, later on under the latter alone and in 1892 the går- 

 dener of the institution took over the curatorsbip; as curator Bruun 

 in 1902 became a professor he was at the same time designed to 

 be director (eforus) of the garden. 



BOTANICAL GARDENS AT GYMNASIUMS AND MUNICIPAL 



SCHOOLS 



At S o r ø-a c a d e m y a garden existed in the time of Buse r (about 

 1625J. 1822 a new garden „Plantagehaven" was laid out close to the 

 curator's lodge. In 1837 not less than 1422 species were cultivated in 

 these grounds. 



At Herlufsholm an area of 3^/.. Td. was laid out in the year 

 1890 to a pinetum, designed by Traustedt. Here more than tOO 

 species and varieties of conifers were grown about 1896. Ihe soil is
