On Tuesday evening, May 24, the Winter's Night Club held 

 its regular meeting for that date at the Botanic Garden. The 

 daylight saving time, combined with a moon Just past the full, 

 made an inspection of the plantations especially delightful be- 

 tween eight and nine o'clock. 



Among plants in bloom as early as March 11, 1921, were the 

 spring Adonis {Adonis vcrnalis), Bulhocodium vcrnuin, the 

 cornelian cherry (Cornus Mas), and the hazel (Corylus amcri- 

 cana). This was one of the earliest springs since the establish- 

 ment of the Garden, ten years ago. 



At the unveiling of the bronze tablet, on June 18, at the 

 State College for Teachers, Albany, N. Y., to the memory of the 

 students who gave their lives in the World War, the memorial 

 address was delivered by Dr. C. Stuart Gager, an alumnus of the 

 college and for eight years professor there of biological sciences 

 and physiography. At the commencement exercises of the Col- 

 t, on June 20, the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy was 

 conferred on Dr. Gaeer. 



On Wednesday afternoon, May 25, Miss Ellen Eddy Shaw,

 cational Work at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden " before the
