Popular Publications 
Leaflets—The publication of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden 
Leaflets commenced in 1913. Approximately ten numbers—some- 
times more—constitute a Series, one series being issued each year. 
The current series is Number XXI. At the end of every four 
years, for convenience in binding, a table of contents of the Leafiets 
published during the four year period is issued. 
The purpose of the Leaflets is primarily to present popular in- 
formation about plant life in general for teachers and others, and to 
give announcements concerning flowering and other plant activities 
to be seen in the Garden near the date of issue. The Leaflets are 
free to members of the Garden and (on request) to teachers in 
the schools of Greater New York. For others, the subscription 
is 50 cents per year, or 5 cents a number (4 pages); double or 
triple numbers (8 or 12 pages) at the same rate. 
Besides the Leaflets, numerous popular articles on various 
phases of plant life and gardening are written by members of the 
staff for publication in periodicals and newspapers.
