During the first two weeks of the exhibition a display of varie- 
ties of the cabbage plant, including Brussels sprouts, kale, kohl 
rabi, Georgia collards, Savoy cabbage, and ordinary cabbage was 
ry 
on view in an alcove on the east side, but the poor light available 
finally necessitated its removal. 
It is estimated that about 3000 people came, and many favorable 
comments were received. The Brooklyn Savings Bank mailed 
about 20,000 descriptive circulars telling of the exhibit and of 
the work of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
