Il. PUBLIC LECTURES AND DOCENTRY 
A. Lectures 
Sundays at 3:30 p.m. 
The lectures in the spring of 1925 will follow the same general 
plan which has proven so acceptable thus far in 1924. Particular 
plants or groups of plants will be treated by specialists, and the 
lectures will be followed by practical demonstrations in the Gar- 
den, using the plants themselves as illustrations, the lecturer lead- 
ing the discussion. The subjects and speakers at these spring lec- 
tures will be announced later. 
In order to avoid confusion and to prevent annoyance both to 
the audience and to the lecturer, it has been found imperative to 
adopt the following regulations for admittance to the lectures: 
1. Children under 12 will not be admitted unless accompanied 
by an adult. 
2. Entrance doors will be closed at 3: 30. 
3. Late comers will be admitted at 3:45, after which time ad- 
mission must be refused.
