Exploration, publication and the instruction of trained men 

 and women for botanical research are thus being carried on 

 hand in hand, and the results already attained justify the 

 hearty cooperation hitherto received from the Board of Man- 

 agers. The outlook for scientific work at the Garden prom- 

 ises a still more brilliant future. 



Very respectfully yours, 



Lucien M. Underwood, 



Chairman.
