EDITORIAL 



With the ending of another vohime and the consequent 

 renewal of a large number of subscriptions, we would again 

 call attention to our "Permanent" list. Though called perma- 

 nent subscribers, those on this list are under no obligation to 

 continue subscribing for any definite length of time. The term 

 is used simply to distinguish those friends of the magazine who 

 subscribe year after year and who therefore form a sort of 

 company to ensure its success. Such subscribers expect the 

 magazine to be sent them until it is ordered stopped and they 

 pay during the year when most convenient. The price to such 

 subscribers is seventy-five cents a year. Any subscriber may be 

 transferred to the permanent list by sending us $1.50 for a two- 

 year subscription and asking to be transferred. When the sub- 

 scription expires it may be renewed at the reduced rate as long 

 as desired. Those who like the magazine well enough to wish 

 it to continue coming to them will save money by joining the 

 permanent list. 



The replies to our request for co-operation in settling vari- 

 ous botanical questions has been very encouraging and we forsee 

 an interesting future for this new kind of botanizing. A short 

 time ago, the American Genetic Association thought it worth 

 while to try to discover where the largest American trees of 

 their kind were located and taking" a hint from this, we may 

 well begin operations by attempting to discover some facts of a 

 similar nature regarding our wildflowers. Replies are there-
