REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
FOR 1939
T BEG leave to present for the second time the annual report for The New
• t York Botanical Garden. I am pleased to say that there has been definite
progress during the past year in all the various activities of the Garden.
This is because of the active and unselfish co- operation of all members
of the Garden staff, the interest and assistance of the Board of Managers,
the Advisory Council, individual members of the Corporation and others
and the intelligent and sympathetic support of the City Authorities, in
particular representatives of the Department of Parks. With such friendly
co- operation much has been accomplished, and I believe that we may
confidently look forward to the Garden's becoming an increasingly impor­tant
factor in the life of New York City and an even greater contributor
to the development of horticulture and botany than it has been in the past.
As is true of most institutions. The New York Botanical Garden plays
more than one role, and it is necessary for those responsible for its man­agement
to see that no one of its functions is sacrificed and that each
contributes its part to the entirety which is the Garden. This I believe
is being accomplished.
A Place of Relaxation. The Garden is a symbol of peaceful orderli­ness
and a place of relaxation in a busy city and in a world of conflict.
Its importance in this respect is an intangible; it cannot be weighed or
measured; yet such intangibles are of great significance. Occasionally
we have concrete evidence. For example, some time ago we received a
donation from a man who stated that visits to the Garden at a critical
period in his life had been so important that though in moderate circum­stances
he wished to indicate his indebtedness by making a small con­tribution.
There must be many similar experiences which never come to
our attention.

Miss Pearl Buck in her address at the dedication of a plaque honoring
Mr. L. C. Bobbink during the Rose Conference last spring said, " In this
day when one must speak for so many who are in trouble and distress,
for the wounded and orphaned in China and Spain and the destitute and
exiled from Germany and Italy, for all those who suffer as the result of
man's brutality and madness, it restores the soul to come and speak for
roses. It is well in a world like this to remember that in places such as
this there are roses."
Col. Robert H. Montgomery also pointed to this aspect of the Garden
in his address at the opening of the Tropical Flower Garden, saying that
in these highly emotional days we need distractions which rouse new
interests. If those without hobbies or outside interests, he emphasized,
would engage upon the study of a group of plants it would add ten years
to their . lives.
For the Pleasure of the Public. To act effectively as a place of recrea­tion
and a symbol of all that we associate with a garden necessitates
varied and attractive plantings indoors and out, placed in suitable settings
and arranged with due regard for the convenience and comfort of the
public. As part of the progress that has been made during the past year,
new plantings — for example, a cherry walk and a lilac walk — have been
installed. Old plantings, such as the Advisory Council border, the annual
borders, the dahlias, chrysanthemums, roses, irises, asters and peonies,
have been maintained in good condition. Material additions have been
made to the arboretum and several hundred rhododendrons have been
planted. Parts of the Main Conservatory range have been replanted and
rearranged. The winter flower show has been continued. The fencing
of the Garden has been nearly completed, and the public lavatories in the
Museum and Administration Building were reconstructed. All this main­tains
and adds to the Garden's ability to offer the public of New York
City a garden in a city, with all that this implies.
There are, however, obvious improvements which can and should be
made. The rose garden should be moved from its present inconvenient
and inaccessible location; there should be further development of the
grounds on the west side of the Bronx River by extending plantings south
from the main conservatory; a comfort station and a lunch room on the
grounds are needed for the convenience of the public; old paths and roads
should be resurfaced and because of changes necessitated by the construction

last June.
of the fence, some new ones should be built; a coolhouse of ample size
should eventually be built adjacent to the main conservatory to give more
suitable quarters for display. That part of the tropical houses now used
for display is ill adapted to the purpose and too small at times to accom­modate
the number of visitors who come to view it.
In the Educational Field. I am pleased to report also an increase in
the effectiveness of the Garden as an educational agency. The Two- year
Course in Practical Gardening initiated last year has filled a real need.
More than 100 attended the class taught by Mr. Everett in the fall and
it is probable that 40 or more students will complete the course and
receive certificates this spring. The success of this course is in large
measure the result of experiments in adult education initiated at the
Garden some years ago with the aid of a grant from the Carnegie
Corporation.
The Two- year Science Course for Professional Gardeners has been
continued, and our graduates occupy positions which will undoubtedly
influence the development of gardening in this country. The Montreal
Botanic Garden and Golden Gate Park of San Francisco are developing
schools for gardeners on the basis of information and advice secured here
by their representatives, and one of our former students is conducting
a school for colored gardeners at Dillard University, New Orleans.
Exchange relations between Kew Gardens and the Edinburgh Botanic
Garden have been discontinued for the duration of the war.
Attendance at the Saturday afternoon public lectures has continued
to increase.
Nearly 50 groups totaling more than 2,000 individuals were given
special attention by members of the staff on the occasion of their visits
to the Garden.
A new course in Field Botany, especially for teachers, was initiated
during the past year and gives promise of meeting a need not hitherto
taken care of by the Garden program.
Two faculty members from midwestern universities chose to spend
their sabbatical leaves at the Garden, and numerous others have spent
shorter periods of time with us. Several graduate students are doing
research under the supervision of members of the staff. It is encourag­ing
that the Garden is able to meet so satisfactorily a demand for instruc­tion
in gardening, horticulture and botany for which it is uniquely fitted.
Our facilities for formal educational work are not entirely adequate,
however, and our staff is too limited to permit indefinite expansion in this
direction. A rearrangement of space in the Museum and Administration
Building which improves the accommodations for instruction is now
under way. In time adequate quarters for the instructional work should
be provided either by the enlargement of the building or by remodeling
the attractive stone building known as the Snuff Mill and making it a
center for adult education in gardening and related subjects.
Let me call your attention also to the Garden as a source of information
in an almost infinite variety of subjects related to horticulture and botany.
The librarian and assistant librarian, the bibliographer and assistant
bibliographer, as well as other members of the staff are increasingly
occupied in replying to inquiries and in furnishing information. The
majority of such inquiries come from New York City, as might be
expected, but numerous requests have been received from elsewhere.
Lists of books for new libraries in Argentina, Canada and Florida were
furnished, plants were identified, questions on culture and diseases were
answered, sources of horticultural or commercial plant materials indi­cated,
and many requests for specific information on botany and garden­ing
were given attention.
Another service feature of the Garden is the distribution of plants.
Last year nearly 12,000 were given to the New York City schools while
9,000 more went to hospitals, universities and other institutions and to
individuals.
The increased interest in the Journal of the New York Botanical
Garden is gratifying. Subscriptions during the past year doubled and
more than 2,000 individual copies besides 1,000 reprints were distributed
through authors and individual sales.
In the World of Science. The scientific activities of the Garden have
continued in various directions though definitely limited because of
restricted income. Two numbers of North American Flora and one
number of Brittonia, the latter of 244 pages, and numerous papers in
periodicals were published. Dr. Gleason and Dr. Smith continued their
studies on South American flora; Dr. Camp is approaching the conclusion
of his studies on blueberries intended for publication in North American
flora; Dr. Moldenke will soon have a manuscript on the Verbenaceae of
North America; Dr. Seaver has continued his studies on the fungi, espe­cially
of Colorado and the Bermudas. Dr. Stout has been engaged in
problems of breeding, cytology and incompatibilities in Petunia, Lobelia,
Convallaria, Iris. Lilium. Hemerocallis and Vitis. Mr. Degener continued
his studies of Hawaiian flora. Dr. Dodge has devoted part of his time
to genetic studies of the fungi. Fundamental studies carried on in part
at The Xew York Botanical Garden on thiamin ( vitamin Bi) and similar
substances as means of promoting growth of plants have resulted in
considerable public interest in their possible usefulness in horticultural
practice. Under the supervision of Dr. Dodge Mr. Thomas Laskaris has
been engaged in a study of root rot of Delphinium, supported by a
fellowship from the American Delphinium Society. However, almost
no botanical exploration was carried on during the past year, and it was
also impossible to finance the completion of a flora of southwestern
United States left in an unfinished condition by Dr. Small. Our collec­tion
of fossil plants, one of the best in the United States, is still without
a curator, and Mr. Williams' failing health leaves our moss herbarium,
the largest collection in America, without a caretaker. In fact, our taxon­omic
staff has been materially reduced during the past twenty years and
is reaching a point where serious consideration must be given to increas­ing
it.
Details on various aspects of the activities of the Garden follow.
Buildings and Grounds
In addition to routine maintenance numerous improvements have been
initiated or completed under the supervision of Mr. A. J. Corbett, Super­intendent,
and Mr. A. C. Pfander, Assistant Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds.
The reconstruction of the cornice of the Museum and Administration
Building, begun in June 1938, was completed at a total cost of $ 47,936.
This reconstruction improves the appearance of the building, removes a
hazard endangering visitors and employees, and stops leakage of rain
and snow.
The lavatories for men and women in the basement of the building
were modernized at a cost of $ 8,067.
Reconstruction and alterations of the lavatories on the top floor of
the building and the comfort station for women on the east side of the
grounds were nearly completed at a cost of $ 6,009.
An information booth was erected near the main entrance on the first
floor of the Museum and Administration Building.
The administrative office was redecorated and refurnished.
Reserve publications, numbering several thousands, were removed to
the sub- basement under the lecture room, which was suitably prepared
to accommodate them, thus freeing valuable space for other purposes.
A workroom for mounting botanical specimens and a classroom were
prepared in the basement of the Museum and Administration Building.
In making these rooms it was necessary to erect partitions and make
changes in the heating system.
Electric wiring of the Snuff Mill, giving power and adequate light,
was about completed under the Work Projects Administration.
A small unheated greenhouse 12 x 60 feet standing near the stables
was demolished and re- erected on the north side of the propagating range
No. 2. This house is to be used for experimental purposes.
Fencing the Garden by the Work Projects Administration under the
supervision of the Department of Parks was nearly completed. This
involved the erection of 4,200 line feet of wrought iron fence, 8,000 feet
of chain link fence, and the building of 128 granite and 4 limestone piers.
A gatehouse at the main entrance was partly completed.
The grounds and buildings were effectively protected and guarded by
police officers assigned to that purpose and further by our own keepers
and employees. Because of the vigilance of the men who patrolled the
grounds, damage and nuisances were kept at a minimum.
Routine maintenance of buildings and grounds involving items too
numerous to mention was continued.
Living Plant Collections and Displays
Under the direction of Horticulturist T. H. Everett and with the active
assistance of P. J. McKenna and others, the living plant collections and
displays have shown notable improvement.
Indoor Plantings. The reconstruction of the Main Conservatories
has made it possible to replant the various houses there. It is the general
plan to rearrange the collections so that each house has a definite char­acter
of its own and to set out the plants so far as possible in naturalistic
style. In accordance with this plan Houses 6, 7 and 8 are now devoted
to succulents of the Old and New Worlds, House 4 has been planted in
gardenesque style as a setting for winter flower displays, and House 12
has been arranged to give the impression of a tropical rain forest. During
the past year House 5 has been given over to a display of begonias, our
collection of which now numbers 359 species and varieties. House 10
has been planted chiefly with aroids, House 11 with ferns, and 13 has been
rearranged as a tropical flower garden with all the plants ( 225 distinct
kinds) set in the ground. The main feature of the design is a formal
flagged walk flanked by borders of mixed flowering plants. A bronze
statue " Wildflower" by Edward Berge, lent by the Grand Central Art
Galleries, stands at the end of the walk. When the result is viewed it is
easy to forget the thought, planning and labor involved in these changes.
For example, arranging the Tropical Flower Garden required the han­dling
of 68 truck loads of soil, sand, cinders, leafmold and manure and the
installation of 6 tons of rock and 1,000 square feet of dressed flagstone
path. It is obvious that only a limited amount of such extra labor can
be undertaken in a single year. Houses 1, 2, 3. 14 and 15 still remain
to be replanted.
For the winter flower display in House 4 during the 1938- 39 season,
8,686 plants representing 573 species and varieties were used. The public
interest in these flower shows continues, and at times visitors overcrowd
the space available.
Range 2 has continued to serve a useful purpose for propagation, for
housing the pelargonium and orchid collections, for courses in practical
gardening and numerous other incidental activities.
Outdoor Plantings. Among the 2,950 plants and 3,900 bulbs set out
in the Thompson Memorial Rock Garden were 390 species and varieties
new to the Garden. In addition 1,500 plants and bulbs have been planted
in the Wild Flower Garden. May I emphasize the constant care and
meticulous attention to detail necessarily given by the Garden staff to
maintain this large collection of plants in satisfactory condition.
In preparation for a spring display 37,650 tulip bulbs were planted in
the Conservatory Court and adjacent areas, and 3,500 Narcissi were
planted in the meadow within the Rock Garden enclosure.
The hardy and tropical waterlilies provided an excellent display dur­ing
the blooming season.
The unusual cold on Thanksgiving Day 1938 following a spell of mild
; weather caused considerable damage in the Rose Garden and necessitated
( heavy replacements in the spring. The total replacements numbered
[ 2,695 plants in 286 varieties. These figures include 158 plants in 58 varie­ties
arranged as a special border of old- fashioned roses, a feature which
adds much to the interest and educational value of the Garden.
Under the immediate supervision of Mr. Pinkus, considerable atten­tion
has been given to the development of the Arboretum which is planned
to be as comprehensive as possible yet arranged with consideration for
esthetic values. During the past year 3,186 plants were set out in the
permanent collections and of these 474 were species and varieties new to
[ the collections ; 3,480 plants were transplanted in the nursery ; 2,236 plants
were transferred from propagating houses into nursery beds; 10,600
ground- cover plants were set out. It is not possible to specify in detail
the plantings in the Arboretum. An inventory taken in February indi-

cates our collections of trees and shrubs to be in excess of 2,025 species
and varieties.
Labels are a constant and necessary expense. More than 3,000 labels
were made during the past year of which 23 were large and informational
in character.
Gifts and Exchanges. Plants of the Mikado daylily, of Achillea
tomentosa variety King Edward, and of Veronica spicata rosea were offered
Garden members. Plants disposed of in other ways numbered more than
21,000, of which nearly 12,000 went to 37 New York City schools and
9,000 to other institutions and organizations, including the Catholic Medi­cal
Missionary Board, Rikers Island Penitentiary, Ellis Island, New York
Institute for the Blind, Bronx House, Metropolitan Hospital, the Jennie
Clarkson School, the New York City Park Department, Letchworth
Village Mental Hospital, and to other botanical gardens' and many
universities.
In our seed exchange 5,081 packets were sent to 140 botanical gardens
and similar institutions throughout the world, and we requested and
received 873 packets. The 1939- 40 seed list will include 467; items.
The cultivated herbarium was increased by 748 specimens to a total
of 22,427.
Special Displays and Exhibits. An exhibit consisting of 24 hardy
waterlilies, 14 tropical waterlilies and 14 miscellaneous aquatic plants
was maintained at Gardens on Parade at the World's Fair. A display of
specimen begonias was awarded a Silver Medal Certificate by Gardens
on Parade. The New York Botanical Garden was one of the sponsoring
organizations for Gardens on Parade.
In co- operation with the Park Department an exhibit illustrating cer­tain
phases of the Garden's activities was maintained in the City Building.
This included a life- sized activated model of Amorphophalhts titanum.
A special exhibit of labels was prepared for the Shade Tree Confer­ence
held in New York City in August.
A notable exhibit of begonias at the International Flower Show in
March received a special prize of $ 250, the Gold Medal of, the Inter­national
Flower Show for an Educational Display, and the Sarah Tod
Bulkley award of the Garden Club of America, made in recognition of
the great variety and high horticultural merit and the beauty of the
display.
Gifts Received. Important gifts of living plant material were re­ceived
during the past year. It is not possible to list all the donors but
special mention should be made of the following:
11

Plant Diseases
Dr. Dodge and his assistants have controlled the diseases and insects
of the Garden with their usual success. For the first time some damage
to roses was done by the rose midge and serious trouble developed with
rose thrips. Nevertheless, with the application of suitable control
measures, excellent bloom was secured in September and October. Less
difficulty than usual was experienced with the Japanese beetle, probably
because of the dry season and also because of the arsenate applied to our
lawns in previous years. The gypsy moth has apparently been entirely
exterminated not only in the Garden but in the Bronx. Fine results in
controlling eelworm infection in the chrysanthemum borders were ob­tained
by suitable sterilization with formaldehyde. Studies on the natu­ral
infection of ornamental plants by the juniper rust were carried out.
With the support of the American Delphinium Society, Thomas Laskaris
has investigated root rots of Delphinium.
Photography
Miss Fleda Griffith has rendered her usual effective service as Garden
Photographer. The Journal, lectures by members of the staff, scientific
publications, popular information furnished the press, and various maga­zines
owe much of their effectiveness to pictures and lantern slides made
by the photographer. During the past year the following was accom­plished:
253 films developed, 1,031 negatives made and developed, 4,634
prints, 196 enlargements, and 463 slides made, and 303 slides colored.
Herbarium
Under the supervision of the Head Curator, Dr. H. A. Gleason, the
Mycologist, Dr. Fred J. Seaver, and their assistants, 29,732 additions were
made to the herbarium, making its total, exclusive of the collection of
fossil plants, 1,963,238, distributed as follows:
Britton Herbarium 1,021,075
Oriental Herbarium 240,471
Local Herbarium 64,719
Cultivated Herbarium 22,104
Mosses 176,999
Iiepaticae 61,342
Fungi 258,124
Lichens 31,348
Algae 87,056
The growth of the herbarium has been limited by the continued de­pression
in this country and political difficulties abroad.
The use of the herbarium has continued unabated. Dr. Gleason com-
13
pleted and published his studies on the flora of Mount Auyan- tepui and a
monograph of the genus Clidemia in Mexico, as well as shorter papers;
Dr. Seaver, in addition to acting as editor of Mycologia and co- editor of
North American Flora, continued his studies of the fungi. Dr. Smith pub­lished
studies of plants collected by him in British Guiana and completed
the study of plants collected by A. S. Pinkus on Mount Roraima. Dr.
Moldenke has prepared a manuscript on the Verbenaceae for North Ameri­can
Flora and has completed studies of the same family in Trinidad and
Tobago, Surinam, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Dr. Camp has continued
work on the Ericaceae. Mr. Degener extended the collection and distri­bution
of Hawaiian flora and the publication of his Flora Hawaiiensis.
Mr. Alexander has devoted much time to the southern flora and the
identification of plants in the Garden and the local flora. Miss Ellys
Butler, Mr. Charles Gilly and Mr. John Dwyer have been engaged on
research. Numerous botanists visited the herbarium and spent various
periods in study. These visitors represented nearly 40 institutions in
this country and abroad.
A total of 23,118 sheets was loaned during the past year. These were
distributed as 164 loans to 51 institutions.
The rearrangement of the Museum and Administration Building,
giving more adequate and convenient space for the herbarium and scien­tific
staff, has been initiated, but the unsatisfactory condition of the her­barium
cases has not been corrected.
Roses infested with thrips. This was one of the new pests that threatened the beauty of
the Garden's plantings, and that was tackled during 1939 by the
Plant Pathology department.
14
Library
Under the able supervision of the librarian, Miss Hall, and her assist­ant,
Mrs. Schwarten, the library has continued to increase in extent and
usefulness. During the past year 865 bound volumes and 2,173 unbound
volumes and pamphlets were added, and the library now contains 47,739
bound volumes. Catalog cards were increased by 17,616. The periodi­cals
and continuations received by the library total 774. Minor changes
have been made which increase the facility with which the library can
be used by staff and visitors; the most important of these is the instal­lation
of shelves in the main rotunda to accommodate the current periodicals.
Thirty- six exhibits of books and pamphlets related to the subjects of
the Saturday afternoon lectures were arranged during the year, and
other exhibits were displayed for visiting student groups and special
events such as the Rose Conference, Daylily Conference, Garden Book
Week and the Christmas gift season. One hundred and fifty- five written
requests for information, chiefly for lists of books, were received and
answered during the year. The majority of these requests were received
from New York City, but many came from other parts of the United
States and foreign countries. In addition, reference work with the public
both in the library and by telephone has increased perceptibly. Material
assistance was given in the selection of titles for the library of the newly
formed Horticultural Society of Argentina and for the new library of the
Montreal Botanical Garden. Visitors who registered in the library came
from 26 foreign countries and 37 of the 48 states of the Union.
Museum Exhibits
The Museum of The New York Bo- introducing modern and educative ex-tanical
Garden is the only public bo- hibits. It has not been possible during
tanical museum in America. Its useful- the past year to devote funds to this
ness could be materially increased by purpose.

Miscellaneous Publications. Numer­ous
articles of a technical or popular
character were published in journals
and magazines, some edited or published
by the Garden. These articles are listed
on pages 18 to 22.
Bibliographical Work
The importance and extent of the
work of the Bibliographer, Dr. J. H.
Barnhart, and his assistant, Dr. H. W.
Rickett is not always recognized. In
addition to the usual routine in connec­tion
with the use of the Library and the
solution of bibliographical problems, the
Bibliographer and his assistant have
been occupied with editorial and biblio­graphical
work on the Mackenzie mono­graph
on Carex and three numbers of
North American Flora.
Education
The following formal and informal in­struction
was given under the super­vision
of Dr. Stout, Curator of Educa­tion
and Laboratories, and Mr. Everett,
Horticulturist, with the assistance of
various members of the staff.
Free Public Lectures. Three courses
were offered on Saturday afternoons as
follows: Winter course of 11 lectures,
spring course of 13 lectures, autumn
course of 14 lectures. Attendance aver­aged
125 per lecture.
Course in Local Flora. The first of
two courses, one in the autumn and one
in the spring was offered under the im­mediate
supervision of Dr. Camp. In­tended
primarily for teachers, the ini­tial
course comprised a total of 60 hours
of study and field work and had a regis­tration
of 11.
Botanical Exploration. A course of
four sessions in co- operation with the
American Institute was given in the late
winter and again during the autumn to
groups of selected students.
Docentry for Groups. Garden clubs,
classes of school children, groups of
college students and others have made
planned visits to the Garden during the
year. More than 2,000 individuals in
54 groups have received special atten­tion
on these occasions from members
of the staff.
Lectures by Members of the Staff.
As in the past numerous lectures of
both popular and of technical character
have been given by members of the staff
to various organizations.
Two- year Course in Practical Garden­ing.
Organized last year, the evening
classes in practical gardening have
proved increasingly popular. The win­ter
term of 12 lectures in Indoor Gar­dening
and the spring term of 8 sessions
in Indoor Gardening Practice ( Labora­tory),
both taught by Mr. Joseph Tan­sey,
Greenhouse Foreman, brought a
registration of 59 and 27, respectively.
The following autumn term of 12 lec­tures
on Fundamentals of Gardening,
under Mr. Everett's instruction, had an
enrollment of 102.
Two- year Science Course for Profes­sional
Gardeners. For the winter term
which began January 9, 36 students
registered for Plant Breeding given by
Dr. Stout and 37 for Economic Botany
under Mr. G. L. Wittrock. The fall
session began on October 2 with a reg­istration
of 35 in the class in Plant
Morphology taught by Dr. H. W. Rickett
and 37 in Dr. Moldenke's class in Sys­tematic
Botany A. Fourteen students
were graduated April 17, the principal
address being given by Mr. Clarence
McKay Lewis.
Graduate Work. In accordance with
the co- operative arrangements with Co­lumbia
and Fordham Universities, five
students were registered for graduate
work and Prof. William J. Bonisteel
completed the requirements for the de­gree
of Doctor of Philosophy under the
supervision of Dr. Stout. One teacher
worked on the cytology of Lilium can-didum
and five individuals received
scholarships of one or two months. A
special scholarship of the American
Delphinium Society was awarded Mr.
Thomas Laskaris.

Staff Membership
Last year a list was published of
Members of the Board of Managers
since the initiation of the Garden. This
year a list is published of members of
the staff from the beginning. During
the past year Mr. Percy Wilson retired.
assuming the title of Research Asso­ciate,
and Dr. H. W. Rickett was ap­pointed
Assistant Bibliographer.
Garden Membership
The total membership is 1,034, classi­fied
as follows: Annual, 860; Sustain­ing,
56; Life, Benefactors or Patrons,
103; Garden Clubs, 15. A complete list
of members is appended.
Finances
Beginning July 1, 1939, the City of
New York changed its fiscal year from
one running from January 1 to Decem­ber
31 to one extending from July 1 to
June 30. The Garden has made a simi­lar
change, and no statement of finances
will, therefore, be included in this an­nual
report. However, there will be
published in the annual report for 1940
a complete financial statement for the
18 months' period— January 1, 1939 to
June 30, 1940.
I may add that because of the atten­tion
given by the Finance Committee to
the investment of capital funds the en­dowment
of the Garden is unimpaired
and that under the supervision of the
Board of Managers and with the per­sonal
attention of Mr. H. de la Montagne
the expenditures of the Garden have
been held within its income.
Work Projects Administration
Assistance of various types has been
received from the Work Projects Ad­ministration,
though its efficiency has
been decreased by the lay- offs required
by government regulations. A number
of employees have secured positions
elsewhere on the basis of the training
obtained in their work at the Garden.
The major activities included the work
on the fencing of the Garden under the
supervision of the Park Department and
numerous projects under the Women
and Professional Division, which may
be grouped as follows:
1. Mounting, labeling, repairing, and
filing herbarium collections.
2. Preparation of labels for the col­lections
of economic plants.
3. Assistance in seed collections.
4. Preparation of an index and file of
negatives and lantern slides.
5. Repairing and cataloguing library
books.
6. Preparation of an index of the Gar­deners'
Chronicle ( London).
7. Assistance in research work and
the preparation of illustrations and
manuscripts.

Dec. 22— Christmas display opened in
Main Conservatories.
In closing this report may I again emphasize that only by practising
the strictest economy and limiting its activity in many directions has the
Garden been able to carry on without a deficit during the past year.
Income from invested funds and from private sources has been reduced;
yet demands upon the Garden are greater now than ever before. Addi­tional
funds for exploration, publication, herbarium additions, scholar­ships
or fellowships and scientific research are badly needed. Improved
facilities for the public and the staff should be provided. The needs
listed in the annual report of last year exist, though definite progress has
been made in satisfying some of them. It is to be hoped that material
assistance in the development of the Garden will not be too long delayed.
