A. Courses for Members and the General Public 



Although the following courses are designed especially for 

 Members of the Botanic Garden, they are open (unless otherwise 

 specified) to any one who has a general interest in plants. Teach- 

 ers are welcome. Starred courses (*) are open also for credit to 

 students of Long Island University, and are described in the cur- 

 rent Long Island University catalog. In harmony with an agree- 

 ment entered into in the spring of 1935, the Botanic Garden, upon 

 recommendation of the Chairman of the Biology Department of 

 Long Island University, offers a course scholarship to one student 

 of the I hiiversity. 



Unless otherwise specified, all "A " courses are free to mem- 

 bers^ but the individual class meetings are open only to those who 

 register for the entire course. Of others a fee is required, as in- 

 dicated. In courses where plants are raised or collected, these 

 become the property of the class members.
