228 THE PLANT WORI.D 



The Wild Flower Preservation Society 



of America. 



The next issue of The Plant World will contain the official list of 

 nominees for the forthcoming vacancies on the Board of Managers. There 

 will be six vacancies, for which twelve names will be submitted by the 

 Board. Under the terms of our Constitution any ten members in good 

 standing may file an independent nomination with the Secretary at any 

 time after the official list has been published. 



We would like to make a special feature in the next issue of the 

 work done by our members in advancing the cause of plant protection. 

 We therefore extend a cordial invitation to every member to send in a 

 brief report of what he has attempted or accomplished in this line during 

 the summer. Even if you have only talked with people about the sub- 

 ject, send us a line saying so. A few individuals outside of our ranks 

 have occasionally inquired what the Society was doing to justify its ex- 

 istence. Let its own members answer the question. The official side of 

 its activities will be found set forth in the forthcoming annual report. 



Mrs. Britton, our Secretary, has returned from the Bahamas, and 

 may be addressed, as usual, at the New York Botanical Garden. The 

 address of the Treasurer, Dr. C. E. Waters, is now Bureau of Standards, 

 Washington, D. C.
