4 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



A glance at the list of scientific papers to be presented by our 

 guests at this anniversary celebration bespeaks their appreciation 

 and good will, as it also constitutes a notable event in the botanical 

 history of this country. 



Once more I bid you cordially welcome, and in the phraseology 

 of those unique gardeners, the Japanese, "the honorable Garden 

 is yours."
