BOTANICAL GARDENS IN THE UNITED STATES. 
The first botanical garden established in America was be- 
gun by John Bartram in Philadelphia, in 1728. In it he 
placed a considerable number of plants obtained in the course 
of his extensive travels. The plot still remains, including the 
family homestead, somewhat modified, and it is a pleasure to 
know that it will be preserved as public ground.
