Miscellaneous 
271 volumes were transferred during the year to the Overflow 
Collection, bringing the total of volumes in this collection to 3,497. 
New stacks for the balcony and the second floor of the stack 
room are urgently needed, for as we go on binding state and 
federal documents, these titles, when returned bound, need more 
shelf space. In addition valuable time is lost in transferring vol- 
umes from the overcrowded main collection, which could well be 
spent in more useful work. 
The library was represented at the Annual Meeting of the 
Special Libraries Association at Washington, May 21-25, 1928. 
The libraries of the United States Department of Agriculture, 
Bureau of Plant Industries, Bureau of Home Economics, National 
Academy of Sciences, National Herbarium, and the National Mu- 
seum, were visited. 
On April 21st the librarian visited with the New York Regional 
Catalogue Group the Philadelphia libraries and museums. 
An exhibit of nursery and seed catalogs, on file in the Garden 
library, was arranged for in early spring. These catalogs in- 
cluded information on rock garden plants; native plants of the 
eastern and western United States, and European Alpines. Post 
card bulletins were sent to members advising them of this exhibit. 
Exhibits of seed catalogs and books germane to the subject of 
the five Flower Days were also shown. 
An appropriate display of beautifully illustrated volumes, and 
monographs and works relating to the rose and rose culture, was 
held on Spring Inspection Day.
