Our parks should not be mere places for recreation. They should be 
instructive; they should be experiment stations of arboriculture for this 
part of our country. They should contain not only all the species of 
trees and shrubs indigenous to Southwestern Ohio, but all other species 
that grow in this climate and soil. The people of this city naturally 
look to you for this kind of an improvement. 
A herbarium of all the trees growing in our parks is now being pre- 
pared, and will be submitted as soon as possible. 
Thanking you and the honorable Board of Public Service for the honor 
conferred upon me by delegating me to do this special work, I am 
Most respectfully yours,
