Abstract
THE booklet of descriptive labels drawn up by the Director of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a very useful publication, and it is interesting to see that the practice started at Kew many years ago for trees has been extended by Mr. Carter to other plants of economic or botanical importance. It may be thought that the labels are rather on the “learned” side, but the inclusion of Arabic and Hindustani words will no doubt be appreciated at Cambridge. Mr. Carter gives some very useful suggestions as to methods of preparation of these labels in a cheap and lasting manner.
