Comments on the Pomona College Journal 

 of Economic Botany 



From Dr. Th. Holm, Brookland, D. C. 



"Only a few days ago I asked a friend of mine at the Department of Agriculture why 

 there was no Journal of Economic Botany in the United States, and you may imagine my 

 surprise when I received your Journal the day after. I congratulate you on this fine idea, 

 and I shall certainly subscribe for it. Perhaps I may be able to give you some contribu- 

 tions." 



From the Manager of the Southern California Acclimatizing Association, Santa Barbara, 

 Cal. 



"Allow us to congratulate you upon the appearance of the first number of your Jour- 

 nal of Economic Botany. A high-class publication on these subjects fills a long-felt want, 

 and if the public appreciates it as we do, it should be a tremendous success." 



From Mr. Theo. B. Comstock, Engineer, Los Angeles, Cal. 



"The Journal of Economic Botany is a most worthy example of what some of us did 

 not need to be told of your patient, faithful labors. But I trust that it will make known 

 clearly the debt incurred by our people through your accomplishments." 



From Mr. Wm. Nicoll Moore, The Peppers, Redlands, Cal. 

 ,"I am very much pleased with it." 



From Prof. Delbert Brunton, Principal Fullerton Union High School. 



"It looks good to me. I believe that there is a place for such a publication, and that it 

 will prove of value to students in High Schools." 



From Mr. John S. Armstrong, Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, Cal. 



"Am pleased to know that you have undertaken this work, for the need of such a pub- 

 lication in Southern California is quite apparent." 



From Prof. E. J. Wickson, Director State Experiment Station, Berkeley, Cal. 



"I cannot overexpress my satisfaction at the receipt of your latest publication with 

 'The Avocado in Southern California' by Mr. F. W. Popenoe. It is a most timely and 

 interesting special study which will not only be of great assistance in building up the com- 

 mercial standing of this promising fruit in Southern California, but will do our State 

 credit through the manifestation of Mr. Popenoe's scientific industry and ability." 



From Prof. A. W. Morrill, State Entomologist of Arizona. 

 "I am greatly pleased with its contents and general make-up." 



From Prof. A. B. Ulrey, University of Southern California. 



"I am very much pleased to know that you are publishing in our midst a journal of 

 the quality I find in this one." 



From Prof Charles E. Bessey, State University, Lincoln, Nebraska. 



"I have looked over the first number of The Pomona College Journal of Economic 

 Botany, and am much pleased with it. If you can keep this thing up you will have added 

 a most useful journal to the periodicals that come to my library." 



From Dr. C. F. Franceschi, Montarioso Nurseries, Santa Barbara, Cal. 



"Few things could have given me more pleasure than the first number of your Journal. 

 Accept my sincerest wishes that this enterprise will have all the success that it deserves, as 

 it is sure to do an immense deal of good to the country." 



From Prof. Willard N. Clute, Joliet, 111. « 



"Congratulations on the new Journal. I think you have struck a line that cannot easily 

 be overworked, and one that we all need to know more about." 



From Mr. P. D. Barnhart, Editor of "Pacific Garden," Pasadena, Cal. 



"To me your publication is the most valuable of its kind in the State. Certainly, 

 whoever is behind the idea with money to carry it forward, is a public benefactor, and 

 laying the foundation for 'a monument more enduring than granite.' " 



From Mr. Charles It. Paine, Redlands, Cal. 



"Its publication is a venture worthy of success, and if that success is not financial, it 

 surely will be educational."
