Professor J. C. Blair, 
Chief of Departnient of Horticulture 
Bear Professor Blair: 
I have the pleasure of submitting to you 
a list of the plants under the care of the Division 
of Ploricultu'i e on the date of January 1, 1919.' 
All., the plants enumerated in the list are in the 
plantings on the area between "the forest" and 
Mathews Avenue and in the floricultural greenhouses. 
The list, as piesented, is in duplicate. 
The first part shov;s the plants grouped under the 
following heads:- greenhouse and bedding plants, 
herbaceous perennials, shiubs, and trees. Por con- 
venience, the genera undei each sub-heading are 
arranged in alphabetical oider. The second part 
shows the same plants in family groups v/ith the 
families arranged alphabetically. 
The nomenclature of the list is, as near- 
ly as possible, that of Bailey's Cyclopedia of 
Horticulture. All changes to the Cyclopedia nomen- 
clature are based upon the names under which the 
plants were purchased. V/heie Bailey does not men- 
tion a species or variety, the name under which it 
was secured is maintained. A closer study of the 
collection v/ill, without doubt, show that some are 
incorrectly named. 
The list shows that on the first day of 
the year the division was in possession of about 
2,000 species and vaiieties of plants. The col- 
lection is of interest both from a commercial and 
botanical standpoint. The plants are all readily 
accessible and it is hoped that they will be made 
use of by all interested in plant material. 
Respectfully submitted, 
/
