 This service is free of charge to members and accompanying 

 friends; to others there is a charge of 50 cents per person. For

EXTRA-MURAL LECTURES 



With the exception of talks to schools, the Botanic Garden does 

 not officially schedule members of its personnel for lectures or 

 talks outside the Botanic Garden, except for lectures on the Garden 

 itself or some aspect of its work. In such cases no fee is charged 

 beyond traveling expenses. 



Several members of the personnel are available for lectures to 

 garden clubs and other organizations on topics of general horti- 

 cultural or botanical interest. A list of lecturers, with lecture 

 topics and the fee charged, may be had by addressing the Curator 

 of Public Instruction. Arrangements are to be made directly with 

 the lecturer concerned. 



See page m for special privileges to Member Clubs.
