Tue AGRICULTURAL BoTANIC GARDEN OF THE CONNECTICUT 
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE (Discontinued ) 
Established: 1909. Area: 1 acre. 
Director: Albert Francis Blakeslee (1909-1915). 
Source of income: Annual appropriations by the college. 
Plantations: Systematic, economic, ecologic, arboretum (100 spe- 
cies), local flora. 
Note: This Garden was founded primarily as an outdoor museum 
and laboratory for the Department of Botany of the college. It 
supplied study material to the regular college classes and the sum- 
mer school. The entire college campus was laid out by a landscape 
architect, and a planting plan adopted with reference to future 
walks, drives, and buildings, and with the aim of developing the 
campus as a scientific arboretum. 
We are informed (1936) that after 1915 this Garden underwent 
a gradual decline and was abandoned in 1928, when it was assigned 
to the Department of Floriculture of the College and used for a 
display of herbaceous ornamentals.
