J04 . CONE-BEARERS. 



Professor Volney Rattan, author of "West Coast 

 Botany," and professor of botany in the California 

 State Normal School at San Jose, writes: 



"So skillful an attempt to bring order out of the chaos 

 of local names, must result in much good. . . . From 

 the mostly very bad names, you have, I think, wisely 

 chosen the best, and the new names you have coined to 

 replace those utterly inappropriate, are sure to be adopted. 

 . . . The educational value of your work to the teach- 

 ers, and through them to the pupils of the State, ought 

 to be patent to the dullest mind." 



Dr. Sereno Watson, successor to Dr. Asa Gray, as 

 director of Harvard Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass., 

 writes: 



"Your report contains a wealth of information and is 

 made up in good shape. You and your accomplished 

 wife have done a good deal of hard work upon Western 

 forestry/' 



Dr. Charles Mohr, the chief botanist of the South- 

 ern States, writes: 



"You have rendered botany and forestry an invaluable 

 service, and the botanists and tree lovers east of the 

 Rockies cannot be too thankful to you for the information 

 we all badly needed."
