The New York Botanical Garden is to receive $6,000 annually 

 for five years from the Carnegie Foundation for educational 

 work. This is in addition to the $1,013,000 recently raised for 

 endowment. In view of the remarkable growth in public 

 interest in plants and plant sciences the Garden is anxious to 

 expand its work. 



Commenting on the death on March 22nd of Professor Charles 

 Sprague Sargent the Outlook says that "His monuments are 

 builded, numerous and enduring. The Arnold Arboretum, The 

 Silva of North America, Thousands of gardens in America and 

 Europe, The wooded sides of the Adirondacks, The redwood 

 forests of the Pacific coast, Glacier National Park, The multiplied 

 millions of acres of National Forests." He laid the foundation 

 of the New York State forestry work. He was the leading 

 spirit in the saving of the redwoods. He took the lead in 

 inducing President Cleveland to make the first reservation of a 

 National Forest. For fifty-six years he was director of the 

 Arnold Arboretum and for forty-eight years Professor of Arbori- 

 culture at Harvard University.
