tinned this policy to the present time. In all, up to January I, 

 1923, 124 articles have heen written. 



The attitude of the New York papers has heen most gratifying. 

 From the beginning they have cooperated in every way. Every 

 week, throughout the year, articles about the Brooklyn Botanic 

 Garden have appeared in at least half a dozen Brooklyn or New 

 York newspapers, and all of the papers named below have many 

 times during the year published items about the Garden, varying 

 from one or a few inches to an entire page with illustrations : Nczv 

 York Evening Post, Brooklyn Standard Union, New York Times, 

 New York American, Nczv York livening Journal, New York 

 World, Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn Citizen, Nczv York Herald, 

 Nczv York Evening Sun, Brooklyn Times, Brooklyn Chat, Brook- 

 lyn Life, Nczv York Globe and Commercial Advertiser, Nczv York 

 Tribune, A r czv York Telegram, New York Call. 



In addition, several articles have been syndicated and printed 

 broadcast throughout the country. Other items have been copied 

 (in some cases with slight alterations) from the New York papers, 

 so that during the year, to our certain knowledge, in the country at 

 large, the following newspapers and periodicals, outside of Brook- 

 lyn and Manhattan, have printed material about the Brooklyn 

 Botanic Garden. This list is far from complete : Chronicle Tele- 

 graph (Pittsburgh), Public Ledger (Phila.), Inquirer (Phila.), 

 Evening Bulletin (Phila.), North American (Phila.), Bronx Home 

 News, Journal (Jersey City), Star Eagle (Newark), Ledger 

 (Newark), Evening Nczvs (Newark). Post (Boston), Herald 

 (Boston), Evening Transcript (Boston), Hartford Courant, Vas- 

 sar Miscellany News, Times (Washington), Star (Washington), 

 American (Baltimore), Star (Kansas City), Journal (Minneapo- 

 lis), Herald Examiner (Chicago), Florists' Exchange, Horticul- 

 ture, Science. In connection with the "Big Tree" Contest (see 

 p. 56) articles appeared several times in each of 84 newspapers on 

 Long Island outside of Brooklyn. 



As a result of this, we have received inquiries from all parts of 

 the country, asking for further information about our plants, ac- 

 tivities, methods, how the Garden was established, and how best to 

 proceed in order to secure the establishment of a similar institution 

 in the correspondent's own city.
