THE CHILDREN’S GARDEN EXHIBIT 
A Leaflet was sent out last April telling about the Second 
Annual Children’s Garden Exhibit, to be held at the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden the 24th and 25th of this month. After all, the en- 
tire field of this exhibit was not covered, because the final results 
are in the hands of the boys and girls themselves. This second 
Leaflet, with a heading almost like the first one, is to act as a 
reminder, to jog the memory and to stir enthusiasm. Many 
schools, many boys and girls work all through the summer on 
their gardens and at the end of the season feel their results are 
not sufficiently fine to warrant entry in the exhibit. Do not feel 
this way; it is far better to finish the race and to measure your re- 
sults against the results of others. Last season one school 
brought in an exhibit which in no way measured up formally with 
those of the other schools. The principal of this school said, “I 
wish my children to stand now with the others. The point is for 
them to see where they stand and then build upon this knowledge 
gained.” 
Please remind the children of your school about this exhibit. 
First, application cards must be had for each individual child 
entering an exhibit. These cards may be obtained between the 
dates September 15 and 22. The very easiest way to handle this 
matter is for the school itself to send for all the cards needed. 
Any individual child may also send directly to the Brooklyn Botanic 
Garden an addressed and stamped envelope for his own card 
if he wishes to do so. A button marked “Exhibitor” goes 
back with each application so every one exhibiting is known by his 
button when he comes to see the exhibition at the Botanic Garden. 
An entry card must be attached to each exhibit : that is if you 
are exhibiting ten blue asters in Class B, No. 2, you must have
