which the S. A. P. visited at the time of 

 its convention at Asheville, in North Car- 

 olina, is remarkable. The forests, which 

 cover 130,000 acres, are made profitable 

 by the production of various forms of 

 material. 



Tour million feet of lumber, 5,000 

 cords of tannic-acid wood and fuel, 1,000 

 cords of tan bark and several hundred 

 cords of pulp wood are cut every year. 

 At the same time the forest, through wise 

 management, is bettered and is steadily 

 increasing in value. Workmen employed 

 along the boundaries of the forest do 

 duty as fire guards. Thus fire protection 

 is secured, at least throughout all the ac- 

 cessible parts of the tract. 



In connection with all lumbering oper- 

 ations permanent logging roads are built. 

 These minimize the present cost of trans- 

 portation, and will greatly reduce the cost 

 of marketing future crops. Thus the ex- 

 tension of the roads is steadily adding 

 to the investment value of the forest. 

 Moreover, they serve also as a network 

 of fire lines. Forest planting is prac- 

 ticed where fire will not threaten its suc- 

 cess. 



The experimental work in sylviculture 

 which is done at Biltmore is certain to 

 make important additions to the science 

 and practice of forestry. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The regular meeting of the Lenox Hor- 

 ticultural Society was held Saturday, 

 October 2, and was largely attended, 

 President A. Jenkins occupying the chair. 

 Charles Trethewey and Joseph Pybus 

 were unanimously elected active members 

 of the society. 



G. Poulsham, W. Jack and A. Bond 

 were appointed as arrangement com- 

 mittee for the forthcoming exhibition, 

 which wiU be held in the Town hall, 

 October 26 and 27, and promises to be 

 one of the best the society has ever had. 

 Special interest is centered in the group 

 of miscellaneous plants arranged for 

 effect, to occupy a space 8x13, for which 

 Henry A. Dreer offers a silver cup, to be 

 won twice before becoming the property 

 of the exhibitor. This cup was won 

 by E. Jenkins in 1907, and in 1908 by 

 F. Heeremans. Some fine groups of 

 orchids are expected, and the classes 

 calling for individual specimens of or- 

 chids will be sharply contested. Boses, 

 carnations and mums are promising and 

 competition in the classes for these flow- 

 ers will be keen. Vegetables, which are 

 a conspicuous feature of our annual exhi- 

 bition, will be fully up to the standard 

 of past years, thus assuring an exhibition 

 of the highest order. 



A welcome visitor at the society's 

 meeting was H. A. Barnard, represent- 

 ing Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, 

 Middlesex, England. G. H. L 



Houston, Tex. — On account of the in- 

 creasing demand for cut flowers and 

 plants, R. C. Kerr has purchased prop- 

 erty belonging to his father at 2417 to 

 2419 Travis street, for a consideration of 

 $5,000, and will establish another 

 branch to his business.
