96 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
new members, Mrs. Charles Pratt, 4806 South Salina 
St., Syracuse, N. Y., was given, by mistake, as Miss 
Maria F. Pratt in the last number of the JoURNAL. 
Through another error, the name of Miss M. A. Mar- 
shall, Still River, Mass., was omitted from the printed 
list of members. 
Mrs. M. A. Noble has generously added to her former 
gift the four numbers of Vol. V of the Fern Bulletin. 
This gives the Society a complete set up to and includ- 
ing Vol. XI. 
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden will build special fern 
beds to house a Society fern garden if members will 
send in the plants. Let us start it now. Send in any 
rarities which are in danger of destruction. 
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Benedict’s in a 
recent number of the Journat, Mrs. D. 8. Hartline, 
State Normal School, Bloomsburg, Pa., writes that she 
has a successful fern garden and would be ‘only too 
happy” to receive any living plants to add to her col- 
lection and would pay postage on them. 
Rev. James A. Bates, South Royalston, Mass., offers 
for sale unmounted herbarium specimens, partly ferns, 
at $5 per hundred. Write to him for further par- 
ticulars. 
A member asks where living ferns of the Southwest 
can be obtained. Write the Carnegie Experiment 
Station, Tucson, Ariz. They can put you in touch 
with some reliable dealer.
