viding much of the living plant material used in connection with 
the “ Exhibition of Plant forms in Ornament” held at the Metro- 
politan Museum from May 8 to September 10. The first ship- 
ment, which required a moving van, was made on May 4 and in- 
cluded such plants as Acanthus, Laurel, Date Palm, European 
Grape, Olive, and Pomegranate. Thereafter, sixteen additional 
shipments were made at approximately weekly intervals. The 
total number of plants supplied was 570, with 41 bunches of cut 
flowers and branches. Transportation charges were assumed by 
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
