34 
hundred and four new members of all classes have been enrolled. 
These, with 193 removals, make a net loss of only 89. Very 
few organizations and institutions have held their own in mem- 
bership during the past three or four years. 
The two lectures given in the Auditorium under the auspices 
of the Auxiliary yielded a net total of $1650, which has been con- 
tributed to the Garden to help meet various urgent needs in- 
cluding the planting of the new Horticultural Section on the 
North Addition. 
The lectures were as follows: 
March 5. The miracles of nature. Mr. Arthur C. Pillsbury. 
Attendance, 570. 
November 20. English gardens of the 17th and 18th Centuries. 
Mr. Gordon Dunthorne. Attendance, 600. 
The Auxiliary now has 122 members. Their cooperation has 
been greatly appreciated.
