Arboretum Notes 
Prof essor Sargent writes: *'It has occurred to me that it might be a 
good thing for the Arboretum to present the Garden Club of America 
with a set of its colored lantern slides accompanied by a syllabus of 
lectures about the plants shown, to be loaned to the subsidiary Clubs 
for lectures either to their members or to the general public in their 
communities. Don't you think there might be some educational value 
in this? Who is the proper officer of the Club to take up this matter 
with in case the editor of the Bulletin a,pproves of it?" 
The editor is referring this offer to Mrs. Sloan with all possible 
enthusiasm and feels that sh.e may safely announce unanimous accept- 
ance of so beautiful and useful a gift. The only question that need 
be asked is whether a second set of sHdes will be forthcoming when the 
first is worn out through extensive and intensive use. 
Professor Sargent has also asked that the following notice be 
printed in each issue of the Bulletin. The concession is a. gracious one 
gratefully acknowledged. 
Members- of Garden Clubs, except those living within fifty miles 
of Boston, wishing to visit the Arnold Arboretum, can obtain authority 
to do so by motor car by applying in writing to the Director of the 
Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, stating the time of their 
proposed visit and giving the name of their club. 
Since an Arboretum Committee, with Mrs. Francis B. Crownin- 
shield as chairman, was appointed at the Annual Meeting, the Club 
will hereafter be better informed and use more intelligently the great 
opportunities offered by the Arboretum. 
Owing to the length and importance of the Report of the Annual 
meeting, Miss Jekyll's article. Miss Wright's Bee article and an inter- 
esting account of the culture of the beautiful Begonias shown by 
Mrs. Lester Leland at the Flower Show, written by her gardener, 
E. H. Wetterlow, must be deferred to the issue of September 15th.
