166 THE PLANT WORLD 



The Wild Flower Preservation Society 



of America. 



Many of our members are now enjoying their vacations at mountain 

 or seashore, and it should be the season of active effort and missionary- 

 work. The blossoming plants afford the best object-lessons for talks on 

 the beauty and utility of plant life. Not that they should be picked and 

 placed around the lecture hall or parlor, but they can be made to serve 

 equally well for illustrative purposes if an excursion is made to the woods 

 and a little practical talk given on the subject on the very ground where 

 it is needed. Our Chapters should be perfecting plans for the winter. 

 It will not do to lose what we have gained in popular interest and 

 support. 



During the last month two excellent articles on plant preservation 

 have been published, one by Miss Frances Zirngiebel in Popular Science 

 Monthly, one by Herbert Bolce in the Sahirday Eveyiiyig Post. Both 

 writers speak highly of this Society. 



For the benefit of some of our members, we wish to point out that 

 there is no connection between the Wild Flower Preservation Society and 

 The PIvANT Wori.d other than an agreement to furnish the journal at 

 special rates. Those who send in subscriptions to The Plant World 

 are not enrolled as members unless they express a desire to that effect. 

 And after three or four months have elapsed it is equally impossible to 

 enroll unless an additional fee is sent to the Secretary of the Society. 

 The reason for this is that the term of membership must coincide with 

 the term of subscription in order to prevent mistakes and complication. 

 If you wish to be enrolled as a member, state your wishes clearly in 

 advance. 



The name of Mrs. H. E. Warner, of Washington, D. C, a charter 

 member, should be added to the list printed in the May issue. We 

 regret also to record the death of one of the members, Mr. Charles A. 

 Hoyt, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
