dren, tree planting, the conservation of wild flowers, and Arbor 
Day. If an illustrated lecture 1s desired, the lantern and operator 
must be provided by the school, but slides will be furnished by the 
Botanic Garden. Address the Curator of Elementary Instruction 
for a list of talks and for appointments. 
B. School Classes at the Garden.—(a) Public or private 
schools may arrange for classes, accompanied by their teachers, 
to come to the Botanic Garden for illustrated lectures either by 
the teacher or by a member of the Garden Staff. 
(b) Notice of such a visit should be sent at least one week 
previous to the date on which a talk is desired. Blank forms are 
provided by the Garden for this purpose. These talks will be 
illustrated by lantern slides, and by the conservatory collection of 
useful plants from the tropics and subtropics. Fall and spring 
announcements of topics will be issued during 1933-34. 
(c) The Garden equipment, including plant material, lecture 
rooms, lantern, and slides, is at the disposal of teachers who de- 
sire to instruct their own classes at the Garden. Arrangements 
must be made in advance so that such work will not conflict with 
other classes and lectures. For High School and College classes 
address the Curator of Public Instruction. For Junior High and 
Elementary School classes address the Curator of Elementary In- 
struction, 
(d) The principal of any elementary or high school in Brooklyn 
may arrange also for a series of six lessons on plant culture to be 
given to a class during the fall or spring. A small fee is charged 
to cover the cost of the materials used. The plants raised become 
the property of the pupils. The lessons will be worked out for the 
most part in the greenhouse, and the class must be accompanied 
by its teacher. This is adapted for pupils above the third grade. 
C. Seeds for School and Home Planting.—Penny packets of 
seeds are put up by the Botanic Garden for children’s use. In 
the early spring, lists of these seeds, order blanks for teachers and 
pupils, and other information may be secured on application to 
the Curator of Elementary Instruction. 
D. Conferences.—Conferences may be arranged by teachers 
and principals for the discussion of problems in connection with 
gardening and nature study. Appointments must be made in ad- 
vance. Address the Curator of Elementary Instruction.
