The CALIFORNIA BOTANICAL 

 GARDEN is a private enterprise, aim- 

 ing at the formation of as large a col- 

 lection of living plants as it may be 

 found practicable to grow under the 

 favorable conditions existing in South- 

 ern California for plant life. 



THE BULLETIN will be issued oc- 

 casionally as a means of communica- 

 tion with our correspondents. 



Literature will always be welcomed 

 in returns. 



Lists, mainly of species represented 

 in the collection, will appear from time 

 to time in the bulletin, to facilitate ex- 

 changes. 



CORRESPONDENCE is invited, 

 with the view T of increasing our collec-

 many things in large quantities to 

 dealers or othens, and can ofte* use 

 quantities of certain seeds, bulbs and 

 plants.

 plants, horticultural catalogues of ev- 

 ery description, and botanical, horti- 



cultural and agricultural literature in 

 general is wanted.

NOTES AND NEWS. 



There is a general sentiment among 

 the natives of Honolulu against vac- 

 cination, as it is stated that vaccination 

 spreads leprosy. A bill repealing the 

 existing vaccination law was recently 

 passed. 



EDITORIAL. 



We publish this month an outline of 

 the work proposed by the wild flower 

 preservation society, which we consider 

 worthy of the encouragement of our 

 readers. In California we stand in need 

 of the preservation of certain beauti- 

 ful trees, and the action taken some 

 years ago for the protection of the T or - 

 >rey pine of San Diego county was taken 

 none too soon. The Parry lily, of the 

 mountain region of Southern Califor- 

 nia, is in most urgent need of protec- 

 tion from the spirit of commercialism, 

 which has already rendered this beau- 

 tiful flower a rare one. The annual 

 dues of the society are one dollar a 

 year, which entitles members to "The 

 Plant World" monthly, and the secre- 

 tary, Charles Louis Pollard, 1854 Fifth 

 street, Washington, D. C, will be 

 pleased to enroll the names of all who 

 are in cordial sympathy with the ob- 

 jects of the organization. 



DELIGHT. 

 Sometimes in reading a story or essay 

 we are reminded of other days or scenes 

 and this gives greater delight than any 

 information found in the essay or the 

 most highly wrought invention of the 

 story writer. The longer we live the 

 more is this so. Our early lives, our 

 friends and their remarks aid their do- 

 ings reproduced take us away from the 

 present, and the life of former times is 

 renewed. We laugh or we weep, not be- 

 cause of the amusing story or the pa- 

 thetic page, but because of revived rem- 

 iniscences. Elaborate details are not 

 necessary, but a touch, like a daisy by 

 the wayside or the song of a bird or the 

 fragrance of a pine tree or a picture of 

 an old-fashioned flower even, may 

 awake pleasant or painful memories.
