The objects of this association shall be: to stimulate the knowledge and love of gar- 
dening among amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference 
and correspondence in this country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native 
plants and birds: and to encourage civic planting. 
1 ' You do not know that one can have the feelings of a mother 
for trees and plants and flowers ; yon do not know that a garden 
is a kingdom where the Prince is never hated and where he 
enjoys all the good he does. Your Paris garden gives you no 
idea of all such happiness.- It is only a highway leading to your 
summer-house ; you know none of your trees and you cut off their 
heads or arms or legs without thinking. 
You will see things differently when you know, as I do, that 
trees have feelings and perceive good and evil." 
The Chevalier de Bouffler to Mme. de Sabran. 
Lorraine, ]778.
