Exchange of Membership Courtestes 
By correspondence, arrangements have been made with a 
number of botanic gardens and museums in other cities by which 
officials and members of Brooklyn Botanic Garden, when visiting 
in those cities, may enjoy, without payment, full privileges which 
those institutions extend to their members. We, in turn, offer 
such privileges to their members when in Brooklyn. The first 
announcement of this plan was published in the Botanic Garden

TWENTIETH ANNUAL SPRING INSPECTION 
The Twentieth Annual Spring Inspection was held, as usual, 
on the second Tuesday of May, which fell on the eighth. The 
attendance was approximately 800. The weather was all that 
could be desired, and the Woman’s Auxiliary and members of the 
Junior League cooperated to make the social part of the Inspec- 
tion an entire success. 
The itinerary of the Grounds included inspection of the new 
Equation of Time Tablet on the Armillary Sphere, by which 
standard time may be calculated from the Sun Dial time; the 
Bronze Tablet on the north post at the entrance to the Labora- 
tory Plaza, acknowledging the Woman’s Auxiliary gift of $1,502
