Department of Public Welfare: Works Division, New York City.—. 
In October, the Garden responded to a request of the Engineer of 
the Department of Standards of this Division for an analysis of 
the purity and germinating power of samples of lawn grass seed 
submitted by various vendors in connection with bids. This 
we were able to do by the generous cooperation of Jessie G. liske, 
State Seed Analyst of New Jersey. The analysis took several 
weeks, and the report was forwarded on December 21. 
New Jersey College of Agriculture Extension Service.—During 
1934, for the third season, the Garden has cooperated with the 
Extension Work in Agriculture of this College in radio broad- 
casting. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is also cooperat- 
ing. Mr. Free and Miss Shaw, representing the Garden, have 
served on the staff of broadcasters over station WOR. In this 
connection a Radio Garden Club has been organized, extending 
into Canada and the District of Columbia, and over 18 states, as 
follows: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, 
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, 
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, 
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. During 1934 the 
fan mail in connection with the program has amounted to 400 
letters. Mr. Free has given 12 broadcasts and Miss Shaw two. 
These 14 broadcasts are listed, with others, on page 137. 
A letter of October 3 from the station contains this statement: 
“We feel that the Radio Garden Club has derived a tremendous 
amount of benefit from its connection with the Botanic Garden, 
and that by working together in this fashion we have been able 
to offer our radio audience information of great practical value.” 
New Jersey State Museum, at Trenton, held an exhibit of ‘ Plant 
Forms in Ornament,’ May 20 to June 18. At their request, the
