ARBORICULTURE 



209 



Annual Report State Board of Horti- 

 culture, Colorado, takes up the question 

 of forest reserves, and is making a strenu- 

 ous effort to prevent the total destruction 

 of the forests of Colorado. We sincerely 

 hope the state may be aroused to some 

 sensible action in reference to their for- 

 ests. Designing men have had control 

 long enough, and now but a small por- 

 tion of the original forests of the Rocky 

 Mountains remains. I. N. Bortels pre- 

 sents a valuable paper on Colorado 

 conifers. 



REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



In the multiplicity of newspapers one 

 cannot find the time to more than glanoe 

 at the headlines of some of the great 

 dailies, and to even glance over the lead- 

 ing periodicals of the day would occupy 

 the entire time of a rapid reader, leaving 

 no time for business or other occupation. 



The substance of all the magazine 

 articles of general interest to busy men 

 and women, condensed by a corps of able 

 reviewers, is found each month in the 

 Rez'iew of Reznetvs, 13 Astor place. New 

 York. Price, $2.50 per annum. 



EVERGREENS AND FOREST 

 TREES. 



The Evergreen Nursery Company of 

 Sturgeon Bay, Wis., is a reliable and ex- 

 tensive nursery, specially devoted to 

 growing seedlings of trees for forest 

 planting. We commend to our friends 

 and the members of the International So- 

 ciety of Arboriculture this nursery, con- 

 fident that quality of stock and prices will 

 be entirely satisfactory. Evergreens may 

 be planted in June ; in fact, almost any 

 time, so it is not too late to order. 



EDUCATIONAL. 



Language fails to convey to the mind 

 thousands of ideas, but the pictures at a 

 glance give complete information of the 

 subject. 



Ten or twelve dollars cannot be ex- 

 pended to better advantage than to se- 

 cure the unabridged Webster for your- 

 self and family. My own copy is in daily- 

 use and is invaluable. 



PAMPAS GROVE CANNAS. 



Arnold Puetz, Greeland, Fla., sends 

 an attractive list of plants for northern 

 planting, a specialty of fine cannas, roses 

 and bulbs. The sandy soil of Florida is 

 fine for growing plants and giving them 

 a good, vigorous start, while express 

 charges are low to every part of the 

 United States. A basket of nice plants, 

 the roots kept moist in a bed of moss, 

 would be a pleasant reminder of the 

 orange groves and the flowers of Florida. 



TO THE PRESS. 



How few appreciate the complete dic- 

 tionary of the English language, which, 

 beginning in 1828, at New Haven, was 

 published in 1840 by Dr. Webster, and 

 has been brought to perfection by the 

 present publishers, G. & C. Merriam, at 

 S])ringfield, Mass. 



Condensed into one large volume is the 

 most complete encyclopedia in existence. 



Arboriculture is being sent you as an 

 exchange. 



Are you interested in the forests ? Do 

 you wish to aid the people of this coun- 

 try in perpetuating the forests? Do you 

 believe that forests are essential to the 

 well being of the people and best interests 

 of the nation? If so, will you not assist 

 The International Society of Arboricul- 

 ture in carrying on its work ? How ? 



Well, we do not desire a simple notice 

 that "the periodical Arboriculture is a 

 publication. 



Copy any or everything you wish. 

 Nothing in Arboriculture is copy- 

 righted. 



Comment on the articles. Seventy 

 niillions of people in the United States 

 cannot be reached by our 5,000 copies 

 monthly. You print i,ooo to 10,000 or 

 half a million copies. Whatever you do 

 multiplies our efforts. 



If you are opposed to any of our 

 theories or arguments, you will not of- 

 fend by giving your reasons. 



If they meet your views will they not 

 make enjoyable reading for your patrons, 

 and, possibly, cause many to think more 

 seriously upon the questions discussed.
