Abstract
OWING to the difficulty at the present time in obtaining factual information regarding staffs and equipment of scientific institutions, this account of the botanic gardens and arboretums of North America is welcome. Its survey deals with about ninety gardens of varying importance ranging from the New York Botanical Garden, the Arnold Arboretum, to smaller gardens connected with the botanical departments of universities and also those privately owned but open to the public.
