PLANTS OUTWARDS AND INWARDS 
At the beginning of the year a list of plants from which seeds can be 
obtained in the Singapore Gardens was printed and circulated to the Botanic 
Gardens in many parts of the world which have sent seed exchange lists 
regularly in the past. As a result, a large number of requests for seeds were 
received, largely for palms and for plants of economic importance. Eight 
hundred and forty-eight packets of seeds were in this way distributed to 32 
botanical institutions. In exchange, seeds were received from the Botanic 
Gardens at Montevideo, Utrecht, Copenhagen, Breslau, Upsala, Paris, Glas¬ 
gow, Riga, Kirstenbosch (Cape), Brisbane; from the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture, the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, the Boyce-Thompson 
South-western Arboretum, the Director of Agriculture, Uganda, the experi¬ 
ment Station of the Hawaaian Sugar Planters Association, the Department 
of Agriculture, Kuala Lumpur, the Arnold Arboretum, the College of 
Agriculture of the Sun Yat Sen University, Canton. Plants were exchanged 
with the Istana Gardens, Johore, the Victoria Gardens, Bombay, and the 
Director of Forestry, Manila, and with a few individual persons.

Orchid plants were exchanged with the Botanic Gardens Heneratgoda, 
Ceylon, Messrs. William and Richard, Colombo, and Mr. W. Julian, Queens¬ 
land. 
Cordial thanks are expressed to the donors of many plants received during
