The botanical garden of the Havana Economic Society, reported month by month for 1862

The Havana Economic Society's botanical garden published an annual return in its own journal: what was sown and weeded month by month, four cases of classified Cuban plants sent to the botanical garden of Madrid and acknowledged there, ornamental trees despatched to two Cuban ports — and to the captain general's private estate in Spain — new scientific labelling in glass-fronted tin, medicinal plants given free to the public, and the university's botany class supplied from the beds.
