The Summer Monthly Exhibitions 



The exhibitions for the summer, beginning with that of May, 

 will be held in the Museum building of the New. York Botanical 

 Garden, Bronx Park, New York City. In addition to the attrac- 

 tions of the exhibitions, there is also the added pleasure to be 

 derived from an inspection of the large collections of the Garden. 

 A day may be well spent in a visit here, the morning in an exami- 

 nation of some one of the collections, and the afternoon in a visit 

 to the flower exhibition. The collections of living plants are 

 large and varied ; the specimens are plainly labeled. 



There are several collections of these plants. The fruticetum, 

 or collection of shrubs, is located at the north of the chain of 

 lakes back of the Museum ; the deciduous arboretum, on the 

 easterly side of the Bronx River; the pinetum, lying in the neigh- 

 borhood of the Museum and the large public conservatories, range 

 I ; the herbaceous grounds, the morphological garden and eco- 

 nomic garden in the valley to the eastward of the same conser- 

 vatories ; these will all repay a visit.
