THE KEAY GAEDENS. 



The report for 1868 of tlie royal gardens at Kew, England, has been 

 received, showing the progress of the work during that year. The attend- 

 ance of visitors was unusually large, aggregating 502,369, of whom 

 134,728 were present in June. It includes three departments, viz, hot- 

 houses and green-houses, botanic gardens, and pleasure gTounds. The 

 following statement is made concerning the interchange of live plants 

 and seeds : 



The number of coutributors has been one hundred and seventy-two during the past 

 year, and they have sent 2,316 living ijLants, and 3,302 packets of seeds. During th© 

 same period 1,368 living plants and 4,576 packets of seeds have been distributed to one 

 hundred and thirty-eight individuals. This is independent of 2,000 shrubs and trees 

 sent to various public parks, &c., and of 2,126 bedding-out plants distril)uted to the 

 poor of London and its neighborhood. 



Yaluable additions were made to the museums and to the herbarium 

 and library from all parts of the world, i^o less than 4,630 plants or 

 trees have been used in rei)laciug' losses from age, and from the effects 

 of the late severe winters.
