Herbarium 
Additional Cases Needed © 
The Herbarium has grown to greater, proportions than was 
anticipated when the Garden was established in 1910. The present 
cases are full, and considerable material is now in storage, prac- 
tically inaccessible for ready reference. New steel shelving, in- 
stalled in the Herbarium work room on December 20, will par- 
tially remedy this condition. In order to provide for present 
needs and future expansion, a mezzanine floor should be con- 
structed in the main Herbarium room. This would make it pos- 
sible to provide cases so as to nearly double the present capacity.

Membership 
Membership in the Botanic Garden confers certain privileges 
not enjoyed by the general public; it should also be considered 
as an opportunity for public service through cooperation in and 
support of a work of such large civic importance. 
The total number of members of all classes (as of February 21, 
1929) is 1,207. During 1928, membership privileges were ex- 
tended to all those who contributed $25.00 or more to the Citizens’ 
Endowment Fund, subscribed in 1926. The list of members is 
given on pages 134-148.
