Our salary schedule is below that of other similar institutions, 

 a great deal of our work is inadequately manned, and certain 

 activities which are a part of our adopted plan of development 

 are yet to be initiated. The director is prepared to furnish a 

 more detailed stateiuent of these needs to anyone interested. 



Additional Land. — The work of the Garden is greatly hampered 

 by lack of an adequate service yard, nursery, and propagating 

 house, and there is no suitable place for one within the present 

 area. A small parcel of land within easy access of the Garden 

 is greatly needed. This need will increase each year, and it w^ill 

 also become annually more and more difficult to meet it. The 

 matter should- have immediate attention. 



A New Fence. — This need has been stressed in several preceding 

 reports and still remains. Our application to the Board of Esti- 

 mate and Apportionment for an appropriation of $40,000 of 

 Corporate Stock of the City of New York for a fence to enclose 

 the entire Garden was still pending at the close of the year.
