THE FLOWERING CRABS 



(Malusei) 



The Flowering Crabs have few rivals 

 among the gorgeous spring-flowering trees 

 and shrubs. At the Arnold Arboretum 

 one of the Important events of the year 

 is the blooming of the Crabs followed 

 by the showy fruit 



Of easy culture, and planted singly 

 or in masses 1 give remarkable and quick 

 results. While beautiful on the small 

 lawn Flowering Crabs are used to the 

 greatest advantage on a large scale in 

 woodland and other mass plantings, as are 

 Dogwoods and Hawthorns. No group of 

 plants have greater value than the Maluses 

 for enlivening open forest parks and 

 country roadsides; they present striking 

 effects when planted on parking strips of 

 boulevards or wide city streets. 



BOXFORD NURSERY, EAST BOX- 

 FORD, MASSACHUSETTS offers eight 

 of the finest varieties. Flowering Crabs 

 are quite scarce and orders should be

PLEASANT THINGS 



TAKEN FROM LETTERS 



TO THE EDITOR 



"No magazine comes to my home that I 

 appreciate more than I do American 

 Forestry." 



C. S. Hodges. 



"It was moved, seconded and carried that 

 the secretary of the Council of Jewish 

 Women communicate with the American 

 Forestry Association, saying that our sym- 

 pathies and interests are with the Asso- 

 ciation, and we feel it most important to 

 the child; furthermore, that we would ad- 

 vise that all superintendents o>f public 

 schools bring this magazine U. their own 

 schools." 



Mrs. Leon G. Ball. 



"The publication is a work of art and 

 the contents a source of gratification." 

 Henry M. Stowe. 



"The American Forestry Magazine is 

 certainly an excellent publication and it 

 finds a large patronage in our library. It 

 is along the line of the class of literature 

 that our young people of the present day 

 should become thoroughly familiar with. 

 Anything I can do to boost its popularity 

 I shall be pleased to take advantage of." 



W. A. FlSKE. 



"I find American Forestry a very won- 

 derful magazine, and I do not feel that I 

 can dispense with a single number." 



Mrs. Wilbur F. Crummer. 



"I hope that your efforts will bring to 

 the American people a realization of the 

 need for a protective forestry policy." 

 P. A. Howell. 



"American Forestry is being received 

 regularly at our school, and is of splendid 

 value." 



Bernard Ostrolenk. 



"Your association has done wonderful 

 work during the past year." 



J. A. Franklin. 



"You are hereby authorized to continue 

 our subscription to your splendid magazine, 

 American Forestry." 



Macon Chamber of Commerce. 



"You are right American Forestry is 

 the one magazine which I cannot get along 

 without. I hope that the Association will 

 have the most successful year that it has 

 yet had." 



Edith M. M. Chapman. 



"You certainly have a very effective way 

 of getting out news matter and having 

 it used by the papers. I know that the 

 publicity work which you have been doing 

 for the Snell Bill is bringing some very 

 excellent results, and I hope you will keep 

 it up. We need a body of public sentiment 

 that will back up effectively our demands 

 for the right kind of legislation in the next 

 Congress." 



Hugh P. Baker. 



"We have heard a great deal of favor- 

 able comment upon the new Forest Recre- 

 ation Department as edited by Mr. Carhart. 

 It has surely been very good so far and 

 should help greatly to popularize American 

 Forestry. 



James E. Scott. 



"I want to congratulate the Association 

 on its great accomplishments and wish 

 for it an ever-growing success." 



Luella A. Owen.

 on Woodchucks." 



Anna Botsford Comstock. 



"May I congratulate you and more the 

 members of the American Forestry Asso- 

 ciation and still more the people of the 

 country on the action taken at your Annual 

 Meeting on February 25. I want to express 

 my appreciation of the splendid work you 

 have done and are doing in the interest of 

 a broader forestry policy." 



F. W. Kelsey. 



"If there is any way in which I can 

 personally co-operate with you in your 

 great work do not hesitate to let me know. 

 Edgar S. Nash. 



"The American Forestry Magazine is 

 indeed a valuable magazine, and I have 

 lost much time in not being acquainted with 

 it before." 



Algat Lange. 



"I am with the American Forestry Asso- 

 ciation. I am for more publicity, for more 

 distribution of information regarding 

 American forests and their vital relation 

 to industrial America. I have been watch- 

 ing the Snell bill, and hope that eventually 

 Congress may deem it essential to spend 

 twelve millions on our forests, which af- 

 fect everybody." 



E. Wheeler Whit more.
