(2) MorpHOLoOGIcAL GARDEN 
This is located to the north of the systematic collection, the 
two collections being separated by the driveway which crosses 
the valley. It is designed to illustrate here with typical 
examples the organs and other features of plants, including 
leaf-forms and the various modifications of their margins, 
their venation, and insertion on the stem; also the various 
kinds of stems, methods of propagation, flower-clusters and 
fruits, leaf-movements, parasites, desert plants, and seed-dis- 
persal. Looking north on this collection, the first bed to the 
right of the brook contains plants illustrating simple leaf- 
forms. Immediately following this on the same side of the 
brook are the plants representing the various forms of com- 
pound leaves, or those in which there is a distinct jointing of 
the leaflets to the leaf-axis. Farther along the brook, in the 
pool, will be found various forms of aquatic roots, stems and 
leaves; and a little beyond this to the right is the bed con- 
taining plants illustrating forms of propagation. 
The remaining plots of this collection are located on the 
left hand or westerly side of the brook. The first of these 
to the right is devoted to leaf-venation, and the one to the left 
to leaf-margins, the former illustrating the character of the 
veins and nerves, and the latter the toothing or lobing of the 
margins. Beyond this to the right is the group of plants 
showing the manner of insertion of the leaves on the stem; 
and to the left of this are specimens illustrating the various 
ways in which plants may form a mosaic covering on the 
ground. A little beyond are the examples of stem-forms. 
One bed is devoted to show the smaller kinds, while for the 
larger examples, illustrating tree, twining, root-climbing, 
and tendril-climbing stems, specimens have been selected or 
placed to the left of this bed and properly labeled. 
A little beyond the pool will be found the bed illustrating 
flower-clusters, and still further on that devoted to parasitic 
plants, or those deriving their nourishment from the living 
tissues of other plants. To the left of this and farther up the
