Thb Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.— The 
liab of seeds of hardy herbaceous plants, trees and 
shrubs which have ripened during the past year 
ab Kew, just to hand, is shorter tlien usual, in 
a great measure owing to the jinfavouralile nature 
of the past season for seed-ripening. The seeds 
are available for exchange with Botanic Gardens, 
and regular correspoudents with Kew. Oiily remote 
Colonial possessions can apply alter the end of 
March for seed exchange.
