The history of the botanical gardens at Hew, London, can be traced back to the <part of the sixteenth cen- tury. ‘ “They are usually referred to 48 Kew gardens. The name Kew is staken from what was at one time a Pploturesque English village combining ‘a quiet ‘bguuty with an air of well be- ing.- Those days have long since pass- ed, ‘and todsy the site of the old vil- lage is swrrounded by one of the bus- iest-sections in the southwestern part of :the mmetropolitan area. Like ipost British institutions, the botanical ,gar- dens " have developed from small be- sinnings. Originally some nine acres in size, they ve gradually extended their ‘boundaries until now they cover an area of over 400 acres. ‘The present garden is the result of the fusion of two royal domains, Rich- mend and grounds, which were the. t of Queen Caroline, wifs of George'1I, and Kew house and grounds b2 ly ‘the ‘estate of Lord Capel, and i uoat';y the home of Frederick, < of Wales, .whose father, George il~’-.hn¢ succeeded to the throne in * Work of Princess Augusta. ~Now, when Frederick, Prince of ‘Wales, son of George 1I, secured Kew Ppalace and’ grounds for his residence, thus was Insugurated the long and in- timate® association of Kew with the royal family, which only ceased with the death of the Duke of Cambridge in:*1904. Frederic, with the aid of Kent: ‘another celebrated landscape architect, relaid out its grounds. He, however, died in 1751, and it is not to him, :but to Princess Augusta, that ithe hounor of uuhllah1n§ the botanical center at Kew is due. It had hither- to:been held in high repute as a place where advanced and refined horticul- ture had long been practiced. But it ‘was not long now before it began un- der the auspices of the princess to ac- quire-a aclentific character and repu- tation.. Whilst no date can be fixed as the absolute - beginning of Kew as a botanical garden, the year 1759 is not- abie. as witnessing the commencement of great. activity thera. There ‘were -three chief helpers and edvisers each in his own way a re- markable man, whom the princess had enlisted in' her gervice in 1759.
