BF AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
Mr. Irving Holeomb, Granby, Conn., would be pleased 
to exchange living plants of the ferns of his vicinity for 
living plants of native species of ferns and orchids not 
now in his fernery or garden. He finds 46 species and 
10 varieties of ferns growing in or very near Granby. 
Mr. E. P. Killip, 32 North Goodman Street, Rochester, 
N. Y. would like to exchange Jamaican ferns for ferns 
of the southwestern United States. 
I have on hand six hundred duplicate sheets including 
probably fifty or more species of Pteridophytes. These 
are being made up into sets each set including one or 
more specimens of all material available at the time it 
ismadeup. The sets contain species of Isoetes, Equise- 
tums, some hybrids, and a few foreign species. There 
will be about fifteen sets in all. I shall be glad to give 
these sets to the first members who apply for them 
for the postage. Send sufficient postage; unused stamps 
will be returned.—L. S. Hopkins, Kent, Ohio. 
I wish to thank, through the JourNaL, the men who 
made it possible to send out the sets of Dryopteris species 
and hybrids issued last fall: Dr. Philip Dowell for mate- 
rial and determining the hybrids; Mr. C. A. Weatherby 
for material, writing the labels and help in getting the 
sets ready for mailing; Messrs. C. H. Bissell, E. J. 
Winslow, Macy Carhart and C. W. Vibert, and Dr. 
Chas. W. Lee, Jr., for material. I also wish to thank 
the members who received sets for their appreciative 
letters to me.
