The Office 
During this year the routine work of the office has proceeded 
as usual. Manuscripts and letters have been typed, correspond- 
ence filed from day to day, requisitions and orders made, also 
inventory cards covering all purchases, small bills paid from the 
petty cash account, and larger ones prepared for the treasurer’s 
office, the laborers’ payroll paid weekly during the working 
season, the necessary office accounts kept, and data for the an- 
nual budget compiled. Envelopes have been addressed and 
stamped for mailing four numbers of the Garden Recorp, about 
650 copies each, and 360 copies of Guide No. 1, also a con- 
siderable number of the Garden series of Contributions. A 
three-page circular letter, requesting data concerning their organ- 
ization, equipment and activities, has been sent to all botanical 
gardens of the world whose addresses now appear on our card 
index, numbering about 450, and one circular letter was sent to 
the teachers of biology in the schools of Brooklyn. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Berrua M. Eves, 
Secretary and Librarian.
