Scrapbook with pressed specimens of plants from Hartford city parks.

Part of the City Parks Collection that documents the development of the "Ring of Parks" in Hartford during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The “Herbarium” and a companion American Plant Book scrapbook may have been created as part of Connecticut’s contributions to the horticultural exhibits at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair (Louisana Purchase Exposition).
