Greenhouses and garden.—There is no garden. Greenhouses 
on the university grounds contain plants of many kinds, not col-

houses for propagation, growth in pots, etc., are available. 
Attached to the laboratory for vegetable physiology is a small 
conservatory 14 X 1g ft., two stories high, with aquarium tank 
6 X 14 ft. in lower room. 
Collections —The herbarium is small (about 25,000 species,
