to send me a list of such trees, I would, of course, make full 

 acknowledgment in the book of your contribution. 



If your time is too fully occupied to send me the infor- 

 mation requested, can you inform me where I can obtain the 

 same? 



Asking your pardon for thus trespassing on your valuable 



time, I am, 



Very respectfully, yours, 



EDWIN J. HOUSTON. 



The letters received in reply to the foregoing, together with 

 the lists of trees suitable for purposes of reforestation, are

PROP. EDWIN J. HOUSTON, 



1809 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia. 

 DEAR SIB, I have marked in the catalogue sent to-day 

 the names of such trees as are most desirable for planting on 

 the Northeastern Seaboard of the United States. A few are 

 rare, but will soon become common ; others are not likely to 

 become common for some years. In some cases the trees 

 marked would have but limited usefulness, but all are of 

 value in some respect or another. 



When getting into the States along the seaboard of the 

 Virginia line, many of those named would be ineligible. 

 Very truly yours, 



THOMAS MEEHAN.
