MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



a full scries of 



publ 



de- 



velopment and scientific activity during the fifteen years of 

 its existence under the care of the Trustees, and a collec- 

 tion of edible and poisonous mushrooms which occur about 

 St. Louis, contributed by Dr. N. M. Glatfelter. For the 

 exhibit of its publications (group 83), the Garden was 

 awarded a grand prize ; and a similar award was made for 

 its exhibit of results of original research and practical 



work (group 105 of the Exposition 



) 



By 



agreement between the Flower Show Association and the 

 Exposition officials, exhibits entered in the flower show 

 were also judged for Exposition awards, and I am in- 

 formed that the Garden received a gold medal for its 

 chrysanthemum group and specimen palms, referred to 

 above. Through the season, from timpitn timo vrwrot.iiJna 



St 



f 



to 



Exposition, and the Commission inform me that one of 

 these, a house-grown cucumber exhibit, was separately 

 entered and awarded a silver medal . With these unexpected 

 recognitions of the scientific and horticultural success of 

 the Garden, the Board of Trustees has just cause to be 



gratified. 



Very respectful!}', 



William Trelease, 



Director.
