I’. Study and Loan Material—On request, the Garden will 
endeavor to provide living seedlings or plant parts for study, to 
the extent of our present limited facilities. Teachers may arrange 
to have various physiological experiments or demonstrations con- 
ducted at the Garden. Petri dishes, ready for exposure, will also 
be loaned on request of teachers. Schools must arrange to call 
for study or loan material, and must return the loan material 
promptly in good condition. 
DOCENTRY 
Classes, and other parties of several persons, wishing to view 
the plantations under guidance, may arrange with the Curator of 
Public Instruction for appointments with a docent to conduct 
them through the Garden. For this service there is a charge of 
25 cents an hour or fraction thereof, or 10 cents a person for 
parties of three or more; except that no charge is made for teach- 
ers with classes. 
Tue HerbariuM 
The Garden herbarium consists at present of over 100,000 
specimens, including phanerogams, ferns, mosses, liverworts, 
lichens, parasitic and other fungi, alge, and myxomycetes. This 
collection may be consulted by those interested, and specimens 
submitted will be gladly identified. Address the Curator of 
Plants. 
THE LIBRARY

quarters on the main floor of the laboratory building. This is 
not a circulating library, but is open free for consultation to all 
persons, from 9 a. m. until 5 p.m. Over 60 current periodicals 
devoted to botany and related subjects are regularly received.
