Press Releases 
In order to keep the public informed of events at the Garden, 
news items are sent at fairly regular and frequent intervals to the 
metropolitan dailies and to many of the suburban papers. They 
are also mailed, as issued, to members of the Board of Trustees 
and the Woman’s Auxiliary. These news releases consist of an- 
nouncements of the periods when the principal floral displays are 
at their best, of the acquisition of new plants, the blossoming of 
rare species, improvements in the plantations, the installation of 
new collections and exhibits, the results of research and explora- 
tion, etc. The commencement of the various public courses, as 
well as public lectures and meetings of various societies at the 
Garden, are also announced through the public press. 
Circulars of Information 
Circulars descriptive of the various courses and lectures are dis- 
tributed, without charge, according to a regular mailing list which 
includes all the libraries and schools of Greater New York, Botanic 
Garden members, and others. Requests to be placed on this mail- 
ing list should be addressed to the Curator of Public Instruction. 
as courses in the Graduate School, and are given the same credit as other 
graduate courses. Properly qualified students who take these courses may 
present them in satisfaction of the requirements for advanced degrees given
