The Fairchild Tropical Garden is, how¬ 
ever, still at the beginning of its develop¬ 
ment. New members and contributors may 
yet take part and thus be associated with 
its formative period. It is hoped that large 
gifts of money will be offered by persons 
appreciating the value of the Garden to 
the entire area. 
By publication of its "Occasional Papers" 
in which will be found accounts of plants 
new to the horticulture of America and of 
explorations after other tropical species, 
the Garden has increased its service to 
tropic botany. The ninth of these papers 
gave a brief account of a selected number 
of new introductions brought in by the 
Fairchild Garden Expedition.
