BOUQUETS 



"I am much interested in your announce- 

 ment of a Foresters Edition. I shall un- 

 doubtedly want both editions. I shall sure- 

 ly want the technical forestry articles and 

 should be very sorry to miss the interesting 

 articles on birds, etc." 



Gordon Parker, 

 Colorado College of Forestry. 



"I am interested in your articles along 

 the line of shade tree work which you 

 designate as one of the popular lines of 

 forestry and which appear in the main issue 

 of American Forestry. At the same time 

 I am interested in all branches of techni- 

 cal forestry and lumbering and one reason 

 for taking American Forestry is to keep 

 in touch with these lines of work. How- 

 much are both editions?" 



Philip E. Alden, 

 Shade Tree Commission, Kearny, N. J. 



"That is a good notion to introduce 

 more technical or semi-technical material 

 into American Forestry, and I wish to be 

 registered for the Foresters Edition." 

 B. E. Fernow. 



"I was very much interested in your 

 November number of the Foresters Edi- 

 tion of American Forestry. I think that 

 it will suit foresters and those who are 

 financially interested in timberlands bet- 

 ter than the more popular edition." 



J. S. Holmes, 

 State Forester of North Carolina. 



FOREST FIRE LOSSES. 



T^OREST fires are costing the West five 

 or six million dollars every bad year, 

 says a recent issue of The Forest Patrol- 

 man, published by the Western Forestry 

 and Conservation Association at Portland. 

 Much of this loss is preventable. This 

 association asserts that the wise expendi- 

 ture of one per cent of this five million 

 dollars could secure such public interest 

 and so encourage fire preventative mea- 

 sures that forest fire causes could be re- 

 duced practically to lightning and incen- 

 diaries. Forest fire losses the past season 

 were heavy in Montana and parts of Idaho, 

 light in Washington and above normal in 

 Oregon. California had severe fires late 

 in the season so that complete data is not 

 yet in with reference to her total losses. 

 The expenses for protection of privately 

 owned lands will be above the average for 

 the season, due in part to the high cost of 

 labor and supplies. The effort of private 

 timberland owners to reduce fire loss is 

 efficiently organized and has been generally 

 effective. As a result of greater activity 

 in law enforcement, many more convic- 

 tions were secured this year under the fire 

 laws than heretofore.

 TURQUOISE 

 BERRY 



You will take 

 more than ordinary 

 pride in a specimen of 

 this rare shrub growing in your 

 garden. Botanists know it as Sym- 

 plocus paniculata. In May it is a 

 mass of white deutzia-like blooms, 

 but a more unique feature is the 

 bright blue berries that come in 

 September. We have a few good 

 plants at $3 each, $27.50 for 10. 



This is only one of the many new, rare and 

 valuable plants that will lift your landscape out 

 of the commonplace. All illustrated and described in 

 our new booklet "A Feast of Flowers." To get all the 

 courses at this feast, naturally you should have the 

 booklet. It is yours if you send your name and address.
