for such asistance may be had on application to the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden. Prizes will be offered both to schools as well as 
to individuals, at the annual Children’s Garden Exhibit, for the 
best results in home gardening. This exhibit is open to all children 
in the City of Brooklyn, although their garden products may have 
been raised at their summer homes. Certifications must be made 
that the work has been done by the child himself. The exhibit 
for 1915 will be held on the 24th and 25th of September. All ex- 
hibits, both those of schools as well as those of individuals, must 
be brought to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on the afternoon of 
September the 23rd, or by 10 o’clock on the morning of the 24th. 
The exhibits will be judged on the afternoon of the 24th, and will 
then be on exhibition for the public from three to five o’clock on 
the afternoon of the 24th, and from ten in the morning until 
four in the afternoon of the 25th. After four o’clock of this day, 
exhibitors may remove their exhibits. Prizes will be distributed 
on Saturday afternoon, October 9, at three o’clock. Silver and 
bronze medals will be awarded as first and second prizes for in- 
dividual exhibits. A bronze statue of Victory is the prize for the 
school making the best exhibit as a whole. This prize is to be 
competed for annually until one school wins it three times, when 
it will become the property of that school. A new prize will then 
be offered. This statue is now in the possession of P. S. 152, this 
school having won it last fall, at the first annual Children’s Garden 
Exhibit.
