— 
The Director of the Garden served on the Special Committee on 
Awards, and also on the Committee of the Garden Club of Amer- 
ica for the award of the Club’s gold medal for the outstanding 
exhibit of the Show. 
The Garden is specially indebted to Mr. William T. Hunter, 
Acting Chairman of the Botanic Garden Governing Committee 
during the winter absence of Miss Loines in Florida, for the 
services of a truck and driver from his firm, A. Schrader’s Son, 
Inc., for transporting our exhibit to and from the Show. This 
indispensable service has been rendered annually by Mr. Hunter 
for a number of years.

one high school having school gardens conducted by this Associa-

Vice-President of the Association and President of the New York 
Chapter of the American Nature Study Society. On February I, 
1936, Mr. Kilpatrick will retire as Director of nature-garden work

Garden presented him with a gold medal, similar to the medals 
awarded to the children of our own children’s garden.
