NOTES 
On October 25-28 eighty trees of Schwedler’s variety of the 
Norway maple were planted in two double rows of twenty trees 
each, along each side of the esplanade, leading toward the Brook- 
lyn Museum Building. These trees replace a like number of the 
flowering dogwood, originally planted at the suggestion of the 
landscape architects, but which did not prove satisfactory. The 
trees average about 4 inches caliper, and about 18 feet high. 
During the latter part of September the area in front of the 
laboratory building, west, was graded and seeded for lawn. This 
area has, been under cultivation as war gardens for vegetables : 
during 1917 and 1918. On account of the unusually warm 
weather during the last few days of October, it was necessary to 
mow this lawn for the first time on November I. 
The meetings of the Flatbush Garden Club, held at the Garden 
on October 11 and November 29, were addressed, respectively, by 
Miss Cornelia Geer and Miss Ogilvie, on the subject, “The 
Woman’s Land Army.”
