The New York Botanical Garden 



THE AUTUMN LECTURES. 

 The lectures of the autumn course will be delivered in the 

 lecture hall of the museum building on Saturday afternoons at 

 4:30, beginning early in October and closing the first week in 

 December. They will be illustrated by lantern slides and other- 

 wise. The program will be announced on a special card. The 

 Garden is reached by the Harlem Division of the New York 

 Central Railway to Bronx Park Station, or by the Third Avenue 

 Elevated Railway to Bronx Park. Lectures will close in time 

 for auditors to take the train arriving at Grand Central Station 

 about 6 P. M. 



FURTHER REMARKS ON A SERIOUS CHESTNUT 

 DISEASE. 

 A preliminary account of this disease appeared in the June 

 number of the Journal. At the time the account was written* 

 the disease was just beginning to spread on the twigs and 

 branches from the infected areas in which it had spent the 

 winter. On my return to New York in August, I found it very 

 abundant and very destructive, the warm, moist summer having 

 been exceedingly favorable to its development. Hardly a tree 

 in the Garden had escaped infection and many dying and recently- 

 killed branches were observed. I now know of very few chest- 

 nut trees in this portion of the city that appear to be worth trying 

 to save and I do not consider any immune.
