In the system of Scientific Botanical Gardens of the Soviet Union, there are 91 Gardens located in different climatic zones. These Gardens are important centres of research for scientific studies of plant introduction, acclimatisation, drought and frost resistance and other problems and are provided with well equipped laboratories. The Gardens are also recognised post-graduate training centres. The impressions gathered by the author during a recent visit to some of these well known Gardens of the Soviet Union are briefly recorded in this paper.
