rather bad, but nevertheless the collections are of great interest. To 

 the college also belongs a students' garden containing 550 species. 



In Aarhus a muniripal-garden was established in 1905. Its pur- 

 pose is to furnish the schools of the town with material for the 

 instruction in botany. 300 different species are cultivated and about 

 14000 shares of plant-material are distributed in the year. 



PRIVATE ROTANICAL GARDENS 



DilTerent persons have shown so much interest in botany that they 

 have formed their gardens partly as botanical collections. Klavs 

 Urne in Lund (Ihe 16th century) and Johann Ludvig Hol- 

 stein at Ledreborg (the 18th century) have to l)e mentioned in this 

 respect, and L o t z e, apothecary in Odense had in the middle of the 

 19th century large collections. An arboretum at Aalholm was star- 

 ted in the end of the 18th cenlury and was partly renewed about 

 1830. In our days interesting arboretums are to be seen at Knuthen- 

 borg and Hardenberg. Private collections of alpine piants and 

 shrubs are kept by mag. Lorenzen, Holte and dr. F. Rørgesen, 

 Hellebæk.
