Annual Spring Inspection 
The seventh annual spring inspection of the Garden by trustees, 
members, and invited guests was held on Tuesday, May 10. This 
was one of the most largely attended inspections in the history of 
the Garden, about 320 being present in the Auditorium at the exer- 
cises in recognition of the Tenth Anniversary of the establishment 
of the Garden and of the services of Mr. Alfred T. White in its 
foundation and development. Others came after the exercises in 
the auditorium were over. The weather was ideal and there were 
never before so many flowers in bloom at the time of the inspection.
