In addition to the above the Garden owns some 30,000

corporated.

ities, are the same as last year: —

The additions to the library include 423 books and 10 
pamphlets purchased, and 506 books and 244 pamphlets, 
valued at $883.36, presented or sent in exchange for 
Garden publications. During the year $2,688.71 was spent 
for additions to the library and for binding and pamphlet 
covers. 
The card index was enlarged by the incorporation of 
16,369 new cards, of which 5,894 were bought, 875 were 
presented, and 9,600 were written by employees, prac- 
tically none of the latter class having been added since 
midsummer, when the work was broken off by the death 
of Miss Reed, who was then taking her vacation. 
As now constituted, the library contains : —
