Annual Spring Inspection 



The attendance at the eighth annual spring inspection, May 9, 

 was about 500, the largest in the history of the Garden. On this 

 occasion there was unveiled the bronze tablet to mark the white 

 oak tree planted at the annual inspection of May 9, 1916, by Mr. 

 Alfred T. White. A full account of these exercises appeared in 

 the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Record for July. 



Woman's Auxiliary 



The success of the Annual Spring Inspection is due in large 

 measure to the cooperation of the Woman's Auxiliary. During 

 the year the Auxiliary, and its members individually, have rend- 

 ered the Garden numerous valuable services which are here grate- 

 fully acknowledged. 



Cooperation 



Special attention is called to the list (at the beginning of this 

 report) of 641 municipal and other free public institutions and 

 organizations of Greater New York, and other domestic and 

 foreign institutions and organizations, with which the Brooklyn 

 Botanic Garden has cooperated during 1922. The wide extent 

 of this cooperation is an index of the local and wider usefulness of 

 the Garden. In all cases the cooperation has been of mutual ad- 

 vantage. 



Acknowledgments 



A list of gifts to the Botanic Garden is given in Appendix 1. 

 The thanks of the Governing Committee has been extended to the 

 donors, and public acknowledgment is here made of our sincere 

 appreciation, not alone of the gifts themselves, but of the spirit 

 that prompted them.
