V. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 
Courses of instruction are offered in Botany, Gardening, and 
7) >? 
Nature Study, and are divided into 4 classes: 
A, For members and the general public (“ A” courses, p. 247) 
B. For teachers (“ B” courses, p. 250) 
C, For children (“C” courses, p, 253) 
D. Other courses of a special nature (“ D”’ courses, p. 255) 
No course will be given when less than ten persons apply for 
registration. Since registration in many of the courses is re- 
stricted to a fixed number on account of the limited space avail- 
able in the greenhouses, and for other reasons, those desiring to 
attend are urged to send in their application for enrollment and the 
entrance fee to the Secretary, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, several 
days in advance of the first exercise. This avoids delay at the be- 
ginning of the first exercise, ensures a place in the course, and 
enables the instructor to provide adequate material for the class. 
The following equipment is available for the courses: 
1. Three Classrooms (in addition to the Boys’ and Girls’ Club 
Room in the Laboratory Building), equipped with stereoscopes 
and views, a stereopticon, plant collections, economic exhibits, 
models, and other apparatus and materials for instruction. 
Two Laboratory Rooms, with the usual equipment for plant 
study. 
Three Instructional Greenhouses, for the use of juvenile as 
1 as adult classes, for instruction in plant propagation and 
related subjects.

quarters of an acre in extent, in the southeast part of the Botanic
