Guide Books, Maps, and Souvenir Postcards of the Garden 
During the last few years, Guide Books have been published 
from time to time, as special numbers of the Brooklyn Botanic 
Garden Record, based upon and explaining various Botanic Garden 
features and exhibits. 
Each of these publications is more than a guide to an exhibit; it 
is an elementary treatise on the general subject illustrated by the 
Garden feature or exhibit. In this way the Guides have value 
even for those who may not be able to visit the Botanic Garden.
