tals in Jamaica, Long Island. These were for window boxes, 
and included 80 plants of Germander (Yeucrium Chamaedrys), 
60 of Lavender Cotton (Santolina incana), and 15 of Santolina

Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn, was one of the four hospitals 
sending their nurses training classes for regular instruction during 
the year, as noted in the appended report of the curator of 
public instruction (p. 109). 
The total number of nurses enrolled for regular class work 
was 232. 
International Flower Show 
The annual exhibit at the International Flower Show, con- 
ducted by the Horticultural Society of New York and_ the 
New York Florists Club, in Grand Central Palace, March 17-22, 
was an Ivy Garden. Not less than 76 species and forms of 
IIedera were installed by our gardeners under the supervision of 
the horticulturist, Mr. Montague Free, who planned the exhibit, 
so as to make an attractive garden effect. All the plants were 
carefully labeled. The exhibit aroused much public interest 
and admiration, and was awarded a gold medal by the Flower 
Show judges, and also the Bulkley gold medal for artistic, 
horticultural, and educational achievement—the highest award 
of the Garden Club of America. This is the second time the 
Garden has received a gold medal from the Garden Club of 
America, the first time being in 1933 for our exhibit of methods 
of plant propagation. The Garden is under obligations to 
Mr. William T. Hunter, of the Botanic Garden Governing 
Committee, who again, as for several years past, has placed at 
our disposal a covered truck and driver of his firm, A. Schrader’s 
Son, for the purpose of taking the exhibit from the Garden to 
Grand Central Palace and bringing it back at the close of the 
— 
show. 
The installation of the hardy specimens from this exhibit as a 
permanent Ivy Garden on Boulder Hill is recorded on page 69. 
A Leaflet, ‘The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Exhibit of an Ivy 
Garden” (Series 28, No. 1-3), was freely distributed throughout 
the week of the show.
