tice of the Garden to purchase all books for the library, herbarium 
specimens, lantern slides, and other illustrative material with 
private funds; the expense of printing and distributing these 
Leaflets, and a portion of the annual maintenance of the Gar- 
den is, in like manner, dependent upon membership dues and 
private contributions. 
The Director of the Garden will be glad to furnish, on request, 
full information as to the conditions and privileges of member- 
ship.
