BESSEY ATTENDS
BOTANICAL REUNION
Reports a Fine Time at Twenty-fifth
Anniversary Delivers Lecture
to Convention.
Dean Ressey reports a very pleasant
time at the recent celebration the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the Mis
souri Botanical Garden where lve de
livered an address on the Phylogenetic
Taxonomy of Flowering Plants. In
the morning the party went for a long
automobile ride and at 1 o'clock lunch
was served in the old Shaw mansion.
At 2 o'clock, in the Garden lecture
room the address of welcome was
given by Director Dr. George L. Moore,
followed by papers on botanical sub
jects by Dr. Britton. director New
York Botanical Garden; Professor X.
Willie of University of Christiana,
Norway, and Dr. C. E. Bessey of Ne
braska, and others. They then visited
-the plant house and at 7:30 went to
the Trustees' banquet. Four hundred
people were seated at this banquet,
about fifty of whom were ladies. Up
to this year no ladies were allowed to
be present at the banquet.
' Tn spite of the European war a num
ber of foreign professors were present
at the celebration, others sent their
papers to be read while still others
were unable to respond to the invita
tion in any way. Among those present
were Professor X. Willie of University
of Christiana, Norway; Professor Ap
pel of University of Berlin, as well
as Director Johanna Westerdyk of
Amsterdam. Holland, who was tire
only foreign woman present, but who
made herself more conspicuous than
all the American women by her con
tinual smoking of cigarettes.
There is an Interesting history con
nected wtlh this Garden. About 100
jvars ago Henry Shaw came to Amer
ica from England, He became wealthy
in hardware business and later built
a house on his country estate, planting
many trees, shrubs, flowers and estab
lishing a greenhouse. This garden was
known far and wide as Shaw's Gar
den. About forty years ago the public
were admitted and twenty-five years
ago Mr. Shaw willed the garden to St.
Louis under the name of "Missouri
Botanical Garden."
The garden has many greenhouses,
the most interesting of which are, the
palm house where palms gathered
from every part of the world grow,
the economic house in which useful
plants as tea and coffee are raised, the
floral display house for the flowering
planr A great beauty, the Cycad, cac
tus, uanana and orchid houses.
Outside are water, medicine, and
rose gardens. The Herbarium there
is the largest in America and the li
brary is probably the best and largest
in th'e world.
