Miscellaneous 
Appropriate exhibits were held in conjunction with Dr. Lee’s 
lecture, at a meeting of the School Garden Association of New 
York: at the Annual Children’s Garden Exhibit of the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden, and at the annual tea of the Garden Teachers’ 
Association of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. A list of publica- 
tions on gardening, canning, drying and storage of vegetables was 
compiled for distribution at the exhibits. 
The New York Public Library kindly forwarded sixty copies 
of their “Selected List of Books on Flower Gardens,” in ac- 
cordance with Dr. Lee’s wish that the list be distributed at her 
lecture. During the year we received several requests for lists 
of publications on such subjects as algae, desmids, trees, shrubs. 
These lists were compiled and forwarded to those asking for 
them. The U. S. Rubber Company of New York frequently 
calls us up by telephone for information. 
Twenty-six students of the junior class of the Library School 
of the N. Y. Public Library, conducted by Miss E. W. Tiemann, 
visited us on the third of October. The librarian gave a short 
talk on the methods used in the organization of-the library, and 
the arrangement of the catalogs and vertical files. Tea was 
served in the exhibit room, and the class was taken to the eco- 
nomic house and over the grounds by Dr. Olive and Dr. 
Gundersen. 
Summary 
The library purchase from Dr. Griffiths consisted of 548 
volumes, 1,024 pamphlets and 6,192 parts, of which 266 volumes, 
635 pamphlets and 2,476 parts of publications are new to the 
library. With the exception of about 100 publications, this entire 
collection has now been prepared for use and incorporated with 
our library. 
The author’s name and short title were printed on the covers 
of over 4,000 pamphlets. As the collection is bound in press- 
board covers and arranged alphabetically by author, this will 
facilitate finding such pamphlets as are called for.
