BULLETIN NO. 1 
Persons interested in plants often complain that they do 
not know when the trees and shrubs in the Arboretum 
bloom and therefore miss flowers which they want to see. 
To meet this difficulty it is proposed to issue from time to 
time from the Arboretum bulletins of popular information 
in which attention will be called to the flowering of im- 
portant plants and other matters connected with them. 
During the spring and autumn these bulletins will prob- 
ably be issued every Saturday and from time to time during 
the remainder of the year when the necessity for them 
exists; and in them notice will be given of what will be 
best worth seeing during the following week. 
Copies of the Bulletin will be mailed without charge to 
any one interested in trees and shrubs and their cultivation 
who desire to receive them. 
An illustrated guide to the Arboretum containing a map 
showing the position of the different groups of plants has 
recently been published. It will be found useful to per- 
sons unfamiliar with the position of the different groups 
of plants. Copies of this guide can be obtained at the 
Administration Building in the Arboretum, from the Sec- 
retary of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society on 
Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, from The Houghton, Mifflin 
Company, 4 Park Street, Boston, and at the Old Corner 
Bookstore, Bromfield Street, Boston.
