three months, each part to contain ten plates and accom- 
panying letterpress. The bequest of Judge Brown estab- 
lishing this fund contemplates the maintenance of this 
magazine by its income, aided by subscriptions to the work, 
and such subscriptions will therefore be invited. 
Cooperation with the Horticultural Society of New York 
Five exhibitions of plants and flowers were given in the 
museum building during the season in cooperation with 
the Horticultural Society of New York, the exhibits for 
the most part supplied by members of the Society, re- 
inforced to some extent from our collections, opening on 
Saturday afternoons and extending through the following 
Sundays. Prizes, awarded by the exhibition committee 
of the Horticultural Society, were paid by the Garden 
from the income of the William R. Sands Fund. We also 
took part in the International Flower Show held under the 
auspices of the Horticultural Society and of the New York 
Florists Club at the Grand Central Palace in March. 
Further cooperation was arranged during the year for the 
installation of special horticultural plantations, the Horti- 
cultural Society to provide the plants, maintenance to be 
effected by us. Plans for a rose garden, the first of these 
collections to be planted, are now receiving your considera- 
tion. At your meeting of April 15, 1915, the Horticultural 
Society was granted permission to occupy rooms in the 
mansion for offices, and subsequently contributed money 
for the renovation of these rooms and supplied them with 
furnishings; Mr. George V. Nash, our Head Gardener, 
has been Secretary of the Society for several years, and this 
arrangement provides the Society, for the first time, with 
office facilities. "The members of the Society were accorded 
the privileges of the board room in the mansion and con- 
tributed to the renovation and decoration of these rooms, 
and a leading part in designing and carrying out the deco- 
rations was taken by members of the Women’s Auxiliary
