Public Exhibits 



International Flower Show 



An award of merit was given to the Botanic Garden for its 

 exhibit at the Fourteenth International Mower Show, at the Grand 

 Central Palace, March 21-26. The first exhibit of the Garden 

 at the Flower Show was in 1918, and no subsequent exhibit was 

 made until 1927. This exhibit was devoted to a display of 

 epiphytes ("air plants"), including orchids, bromelaids (Pine- 

 apple Family), aroids, cacti, ferns, mosses, algae, and lichens, 

 arranged in a naturalistic setting. As the exhibit was not entered 

 in a competitive class, an award of merit was the highest recogni- 

 tion ti. which it was entitled. A special Leaflet, entitled Epiphytes 

 and House plants, was issued as a guide to the exhibit, and dis- 

 tributed in large quantities at the Show, as was also a revised edi- 

 tion of the Leaflet on The Wardian Case. 



Members of staff were in attendance each day and evening, and 

 man)" inquiries were received at the exhibit and also subsequently 

 by mail. The exhibit was planned by our horticulturist, Mr. Free, 

 and installed b\ our own gardeners under his supervision. Many 

 commendations were received for its artistic merit and educational 

 value. The Garden is under obligations to the Garden Club of 

 America for their generous allotment of space 



Women's Exposition of Arts and Industries 

 For the second year the Botanic Garden installed a booth at 

 the Annual Women's Exposition of Arts and Industries. (This 

 was the Sixth Exposition.) The account of the Exhibit in the 

 Brooklyn Dally Pagle, for October 8, stated that, " From the 

 educational standpoint the Botanic Garden and the League of 

 Women Voters might be considered leaders."
