The design for the cover, the color schemes, and general arrange- 
ments were made by Miss Carroll, of this department. 
This might be a fitting time to sum up some of the extra work 
that has come to our Department this year. 
Miss Dorward has been made responsible for the raising of 
plants for experimental purposes for the high schools. She 
planted and maintained the flower border of the Victory 
Garden. The supply of plants and flowers for the Brooklyn 
Naval Hospital was assumed by her. She taught some of 
the Victory Garden courses with Mr, Free, and assisted in 
others. 
Miss Carroll not only has done her regular work in the Depart- 
ment, but in addition she arranged the cover for the Victory 
Garden Series announcement; designed and executed the 
Honorary Scroll given to Miss Mary Averill, Honorary 
Curator of Oriental Gardening and Floral Art; designed cov- 
ers for the Victory Garden folder, the spring folder, the fall 
folder, and the Prospectus ; ee an exhibit sign for Dr. 
Reed’s Department, a decorated enlargement of the Victory 
Garden drawn to scale, and a poster for the Natural History 
Exhibit at the Academy of Music, sponsored by the Depart- 
ment of Natural History of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts 
and Sciences. 

The Curator arranged with the Brooklyn Edison Company to 
have a lesson in canning, at their auditorium, for members of 
our Victory Garden courses; another for the A25 and A26 classes, 
and in the summer, a special lesson for our older boys and girls. 
This was a group of forty who were very enthusiastic for the 
work and who later, as an outgrowth of this interest, visited 
certain of the markets to see the different types of vegetables not 
raised by themselves, but used in the city. 
At the request of the Société Canadienne d'Histoire Naturelle, 
the Curator visited the Montreal Botanical Garden, November 27 
to December 1. Since several visits were made here by their 
Curator of Education to see our work, it was a great pleasure 
and inspiration to visit them.
