Accession numbers, 3,860-5,417 inclusive, were assigned during 
the year. Our records show, as of December 31, 1914, that we 
now have in cultivation 1,029 genera and 4,068 species, of which 
nearly 1,000 are wild within 100 miles of the Garden. During the 
year we have also received 914 packets of seeds, and 64 plants 
and cuttings have been sent out as exchanges.

During the late spring and in the autumn | havehad the as- 
sistance of Dr. Alfred L. Gundersen in the herbarium. He has 
resorted many genera and families, adding about 20,000 sheets of 
which about 10,000 were mounted at the garden during the year. 
It is a pleasure to report that the collection is now, for the first 
time, readily available to all. The families are arranged according 
to the sequence of Engler and Prantl, with both genera and spe- 
cies alphabetical. Much revisionary work is still necessary to 
make the collection of first rate scientific value. There have been 
from one to two assistants helping in this department for parts of 
the year. 
The need for doubling our present equipment of herbarium 
cases is urgent. At present about half of our mounted sheets are 
not as readily accessible as they should be, and many are stored
