THE FORESTRY EXHIBITION. 



Arrangements are being made for 

 the holding of a Forestry Exhibition 

 sometime in the summer of lbS4 in the 

 City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The fol- 

 lowing notice is taken from the Garden : 



" Quietly, but energetically, the ex- 

 ecutive committee charged with the 

 arrangements for this undertaking are 

 pushing forward the ])reliminary mea- 

 sures necessary to ensure its success. 

 Without any direct appeal to the pub- 

 lic, the guarantee fund has already 

 mounted up to about .£3,500. While 

 no date has yet been fixed for the hold- 

 ing of the exhibition, it is generally 

 understood that the most suitable period 

 for it will be the months of July, Au- 

 gust, and September next year. En- 

 tries, it is said, will close on the 1st 

 of March next. The nature and 

 scope of the exhibition will, perhaps, be 

 best understood from the following ab-
