 volumes of serial publications ; 285 Bulletins of the U. S. Bureau 

 of Plant Industry, 450 Farmers' Bulletins, and 2to U. S. Depart-

Miscellaneous 



The Students of the Junior Class of the New York Public Li- 

 brary, conducted by Miss Edith W. Tiemann, made their annual 

 visit to the Garden on October 6. The librarian gave a talk on 

 the methods used in the organization and work of the library of 

 the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Tea was served in Room 306, 

 where the director addressed the class on the work of the Garden. 

 They were then taken over the grounds by Dr. Gundersen. 



Since May 22, Miss Berry was transferred from 4 to 5 p.m. from 

 the library to Dr. Graves's work. The library has had Miss Done- 

 gan as a full-time assistant, and Miss Berry, mornings, from nine 

 until twelve, five days a week. We could easily use to advantage 

 two full-time assistants, due to the growth and use of the library, 

 and the increased amount of work which necessarily follows. 



Exhibits of decorative books were shown at the annual receptions 

 of the Garden. 



The Garden was represented at the New York Library Club. 

 New York Library Association, and the New York Special Library 

 Association. 



Summary 



The preparation of the foreign order, consisting of 243 volumes 

 and 73 pamphlets, was completed. The pamphlets have been cata- 

 logued and shelved. The cataloging of the 243 volumes was left 

 for 1923. so that the shelf list and catalogue of back serials could 

 be completed this year.
