BUITENZORG
-
The usual residence of the Governor-General is at Buitenzorg, at a distance or a little more than one hour by railway from Batavia. The botanical gardens near the palace of the Governor-General were made in 1817, and are well known not only for their beautiful arrangement, but especially for the great services rendered to science and agriculture under the management of the eminent directors, Teysmann, Dr. Scheffer, and Prof. Dr. Treub. All experiments for the introduction of exotic plants into Netherlands-India are made here, with the result that niany useful plants from foreign countries are reared and flourish in Java as in their native soil.
