THE GARDEN STAFF. 
Changes in the Garden Staff have been chiefly in the re- 
duction in number of both the responsible men in 
of various departments and of the laborers employed. : 
J. R. Schramm has been made Assistant to the Director, and 
Mr. Adolph Jaenicke was elevated from the position of 
Foreman to Head Gardener, there being no Head Gardener. 
Mr, J. Burkhardt has succeeded the former gatekeeper. Mr. 
Irish resigned as Superintendent on July first and the posi- 
tion has been abolished.
