THE SECOND ANNUAL 
CHILDREN’S GARDEN EXHIBIT 
Date: Again take out your calendar, turn to September and 
underline the 24th and 25th. Turn to October and underline the 
9th. For the 24th and the 25th are the days on which our exhibit, 
yours and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s is to be held. October 
9th is the day on which the prizes are to be given out. Of course, 
only prize winners come on this last date; but decide to be a prize 
winner, if you are a Brooklyn boy or girl. 
Classes of Exhibits: Keep this Leaflet all summer, and refer 
to it as you need to. First make up your mind just what prizes 
you are to work for. Anyone may enter three classes of exhibits. 
If an exhibitor enters an exhibit with his school, then he has re- 
maining two other chances for prizes. The individual entries in 
a school exhibit will not count for the individual, but for his 
school. For example, if a boy exhibits marigolds as a part of his 
school exhibit, so that his school may compete for the bronze 
statue of Victory, then he must bring a second exhibit of mari- 
golds if he wishes to exhibit these for himself in competition for 
a medal. But if an exhibit is made under Class D — Special 
Plants — then such a plant will be considered a part of Class si. 
A special plant is any fine individual plant raised and cared for 
by any boy or girl. The eggplant exhibit last year by a pupil of 
P. S. No. 129, or the lily belonging to a P. S. No. 66 boy, would be 
considered special plants. 
First look over the following classes and decide which you 
wish to enter. For upon this decision rests your selection of 
seeds for your garden:
