NINTH ANNUAL GARDEN EXHIBIT 
FOR BROOKLYN BOYS AND GIRLS 
Time— The ninth annual Garden Exhibit for the boys and girls 
of Brooklyn will be held September 29 and 30. The exhibit will be 
open to the public from 2 to 5 p. m. on the 29th, and from 10 a.m. 
to 4 p. m. on Saturday, the 30th. 
Place— Our exhibit will be held in the central rotunda of the 
laboratory building, at the Botanic Garden. The building may be 
entered either from Washington Avenue, No. 978, or from the 
Garden side. 
Conditions of Entry— Be sure that each separate exhibit, unless 
it be a part of the class or school exhibit, has an entry card with 
the exhibitor’s name, school, and address upon it. These entry 
cards may be had from us in early September, and should be 
filled in exactly as indicated. Bring the exhibits to the Botanic 
Garden on September 29 between 8 a. m. and 12 m. 
Time of Judging — Three expert judges will judge these exhibits 
and make public their decisions on September 29 at 2 p. m. 
Prizes — This year we are offering for second prizes in Classes A, 
B and C. books from the Nature Library (Doubleday, Page & Co.), 
those large and valuable nature books which mean so much to 
schools. The school winning a second prize may choose those 
books from the Nature Library which it most desires. In this 
way, year after year, whole sets may be built up in the schools. 
We are still offering trophies as first prizes. 
We have changed Class B from a Community Garden Display 
to a Small-School Display. We have so many schools which 
cannot compete in Class A. In the Small-School Display, not 
fewer than ten nor more than fifteen exhibits need be entered. 
This gives the small school and the one which has no school 
garden and those where garden interest is only just awaken- 
ing, an opportunity to be a part of us. Some people have said 
that our Borough of Brooklyn Exhibit is the best exhibit of its 
kind by made children in the United States. Let us make the 
ninth one a record exhibit.
