A two-reel film portraying activities in the Harvard Botanical Garden in Cuba, one of the most distant outposts of the University, has just been released by the University Film Foundation. The picture, which was made possible by the generosity of Mrs. E. F. Atkins of Belmont who financed the expedition, was photographed by W. O. Field '26 and directed by Professor Oakes Ames '98.
The film, in the opinion of experts, is one of the most remarkable examples of exterior photography ever made. Further interest is added by several curious and unusual experiments that Professor Ames performs.
The Harvard Botanical Garden is a place of study for scientists the world over. In it, are specimens of most of the tropical plants of the world. In addition, experiments of great value in the propagation of plants are being constantly carried on.
Located near Cienfuegos, the Garden was established in 1900 by E. F. Atkins of Boston to increase the knowledge of tropical plants and to improve the varieties of sugar cane. The main purpose for the establishment of the Garden, however, was to develop the sugar cane industry.
In 1901, only pasture land existed where the garden is now located. Under the supervision of Harvard officers a botanical garden was evolved.
