The lead tree-label, to which reference was made in my 
report for 1904, continues to give satisfaction. or shrubs, 
and trees too small to receive the tree-label, this lead label is 
also used, modified by attaching it to a wooden back to which 
is affixed a wire standard, so that the label may be inserted 
in the ground in front of the specimen. In the case of trees, 
as soon as the specimen is of sufficient size to receive it, the 
lead face can be easily detached from the wooden back and 
affixed to the trunk of the tree, without alteration. 
Accession numbers 21,950—24,512, inclusive, have been re- 
gistered during the year, making a total of 2,563 accessions. 
The total number of plants derived from all sources has been 
8,599, of which 253 were purchased, 859 donated, 1,470 col- 
lected, 732 acquired by exchange, 5,285 derived from seeds. 
The herbarium of cultivated plants has been increased by 
1,850 specimens, of which 1,050 are from the conservatory 
collection, and 800 from the outdoor collections. This her- 
barium becomes of increasing value as illustrating all species 
grown in any part of the Garden.

and varieties in each collection:
