ARBORICULTURE

Springfield, Mass. 

 Mr. John P. Brown: 



Dear Sir — I should like to tell you 

 what I do with Arboriculture. First, I 

 read it with interest and look at the illus- 

 trations with admiration. There is no 

 magazine that I ever see which excels 

 them. It would be hard to equal some. 

 That Indian woman, with the sagebrush 

 and the tent close by, was a charming 

 composition, besides the fine execution. 

 The Columbines of Colorado, the Yucca 

 Glauca and the views in the Yosemite 

 are equally beautiful, while the rest are 

 not far behind them. 



I cannot go to tree planting on my 

 little city yard, but I can and do talk, 

 and I send the numbers away. At first 

 they went to friends in Vermont, but I 

 am sending them now to Colorado and 

 Oklahoma, and this morning I wrote to 

 the Oklahoma friend to whom I was 

 sending it, urging her strongly to read 

 it and lend it and keep it in circulation 

 where it would do the most good. 



In New England we are getting roused 

 to the necessity of preserving what for- 

 ests we have left, and renewing — or re- 

 placing — those that have been recklessly 

 destroyed. We have two schools of for- 

 estry within our borders, perhaps more. 

 Our newspapers, too, frequently present 

 the subject in one aspect or another.

 able manager. 



Mr. H. Marnechi needs no commenda- 

 tion. He leads in his profession. 



THE SUNSET MAGAZINE, 



Published at San Francisco, monthly, at 

 one dollar a year, is one of our choicest 

 exchanges. '"'President Eoosevelt in Cali- 

 fornia," with many illustrations, is the 

 principal feature of the June number. 

 "Arbor Day in Santa Clara Valley," by 

 our friend, Miss Carrie Stevens Walter, 

 is an excellent description of the valley, 

 and shows the interest among Califor- 

 nians in arboriculture. "The Indians of 

 the Great Northwest," a series of fine 

 paintings, is of much interest, as are 

 other papers.

 on any subject of public interest, as well

 paper and magazine articles. We supply 

 such on any topic desired, and at reason- 

 able rates. Address, for terms, etc.,

 maining forests of Michigan.
