Labeling, Recording and Herbarium. Up tothe middle 
of May the work of this department was carried on under 
the direction of two garden aids, as described in my report 
of the previous year. At the above time, on the occasion of 
the resignation of Mr. Eggleston, the entire work of this 
department was assumed and has since been conducted in an 
efficient and satisfactory manner by Mr. Norman Taylor, 
gardenaid. Incarrying out this work, two men for the entire 
year and one for six months have been employed. The en- 
tire time of one of these employes has been used in the work 
of accessioning and making records, in making corrections 
on data labels, in the preparation of herbarium specimens, 
in the collecting of seeds, and other similar duties, the others 
have been employed in the manufacture of labels. In addi- 
tion to the above the assistance of one garden aid has been 
available for a part of his time, mainly in work on the trees 
along the driveways and paths.
