 My dear Deane: 



In the article on "Botanic Garden" in volume 

 1 of the Cyclopedia, we want to show a picture of a botanic 

 garden, preferably a view taken along a walk showing on 

 one or both sides some of the beds and the labels. I want 

 to show how the planting in a botanic garden is arranged 

 and how it dif feres from the general ornamental border. I 

 have not been able to get any photograph from which I could 

 have a pen drawing made. It occurs to me that possibly yon 

 know ptf ono taken in the botanic garden In Cambridge and 

 could either have a copy made for me of the photograph or 

 get the loan of the photograph until I could have a pen 

 drawing made from it. I have written to the various botamic 

 gardens in thi3 country and strangely enough, I have not 

 been able yet to get any picture that shows what a botanic 

 garden tts like. I have a number of my own showing the 

 gardens at Kew but I want to show an American garden. If 

 you know of any thing of this kind, I shaj.1 greatly appreciate 

 -the favor of a photograph and of course I shall bear all 

 expense .
