THE FORESTRY EXHIBIT. 



Although the State board authorized me to decline to accept the collec- 

 tion of the State Forestry Exhibit. I sent much of the material saved from 

 the old botanical museum, including two barrels full, six boxes, seven 

 bundles, twenty-three pieces of logs and knots. 



We collected for the exhibit fresh specimens of logs and sticks of forty- 

 five species of Michigan trees and shrubs at the request of Hon. C. W. 

 Garfield.
