 any confusion of terms as betzvecn forestry and Land- 

 scape Gardening in just the same Z\.'ay that z\.'e ha'ce found 

 it of importance to establish detiuite i^eneric names for 

 plants. 



from my experience in connection zcith the Depart- 

 ment of Landscape Gardenini^ at Cornell, Illinois, and 

 Missouri, and from luiTing discussed tliis identical ques- 

 tion of the conflict and overlapping of the courses in 

 forestry and Landscape Gardening ',cith such men as 

 IVaugh, Robinson, Wilhelm Miller, Geo. Kesler. O. C. 

 .S'imonds, L. H. Bailey, Schrenck of Bilttnore. and a num- 

 ber of others, 1 find that there is substantial agreement 

 that where it is a question of the ornamental lalue of 

 plants, either of individual specimens or ez'cn small 

 gri)ups of trees, that it should be treated from the stand- 

 point of landscape gardening; and not forestry, lliere 

 IS a limited demand for the professional forester in this 

 country, yd the siinplicilv of the lerui eiuihlcs .Igriciil- 

 tural Collej^es to obtain more funds from their State legis- 

 latures for the support of this worl; than for landscape 

 gardening, hence the\ can employ a larger teaching force. 

 We thus find that as the number of students zeho leish 



this way more often than by measles. 



It is this question of foresters and practical garden- 

 ers attempting to do professional landscape gardening 

 that has had a tendoicy to put this latter work under 

 suspicion. Hdracic I''. Majok. Missouri.
