To tHe CoMMITTEE ON BoTANIC GARDEN: 
Gentlemen:—I have the honor to submit herewith the first 
Annual Report of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden of The Brooklyn 
Institute of Arts and Sciences. This report covers the period 
from July 1, 1910, the date when my appointment took effects to 
December 31, I9QIT. 
Temporary Headquarters 
Until October 1, 1910, temporary desk room was provided by 
Prof. Franklin W. Hooper, Director of ‘The Brooklyn Institute 
of Arts and Sciences, at the offices of the Institute, in the 
Academy of Music building. Since that date temporary offices 
have been provided in the Central Museum building of The 
Brooklyn Institute Museums, on Eastern Parkway. During the 
first two months my time was occupied with getting into touch 
with the local situation, and with other matters incidental to the 
initial work of establishing the Garden, including the preparation 
of the tax budget for maintenance for I9QII.
