Private Funds ——To anyone in close touch with the situation, it 
is self evident that we shall not be able to expand at all, beyond 
their present proportion, the educational and scientific work for 
which the Garden was primarily established, but that on the con- 
trary, we shall be obliged to retrench, unless some plan is devised 
and put into early operation for substantially increasing our regu- 
lar annual income, in addition to the income from our present 
endowment. 
I have, heretofore, at various times in quarterly reports and 
elsewhere, set forth the present needs of the Garden for addi- 
tional income from private funds. A restatement of this informa- 
tion is given below in tabulated form:
