MR. DUTHIE'S “Report on the Progress and Condition of the Government Botanical Gardens at Saharunpur and Mussoorie for the Year ending March 31, 1886,” which has recently reached us, contains, besides the usual routine matter, inseparable from such Reports, on the state of the Garden itself, much that has a wider range of interest. As usual, the cultivation of new plants of economic value appears to have occupied a considerable amount of attention during the year. Where so many useful plants have been introduced and reported upon, it is not an easy matter to select one or two for an example of the work in which Mr. Duthie is engaged. The character of this work is now, however, pretty well known, though the following extracts will show that plants of very varied character and uses are yearly being experimented with in our Indian and colonial botanic gardens.
