Abstract
"Botany in the State of Washington, beginning with the work of merely collecting, describing and classifying specimens, has become a science of vast complexity, contributing to pure science in many lines and functioning through service courses and research work in its taxonomic, morphological, cytological, physiological, ecological and pathological phases in the development of horticulture, agriculture, pharmacy, forestry and fisheries."
