RHODORA. 
The undersigned, as one of the editors of the Journal of 
the New England Botanical Club, wishes to express his 
appreciation of the support given to Rhodora during its first 
year by members of the Mycological Club. At the same 
time he wishes to ask for a continuance of this support, and 
also to bring the Journal to the attention of those to whom 
it is at present unknown. The aim of the Botanical Club 
is to stimulate and unite the botanical activities of New 
England, and in the furtherance of its enterprise it hopes 
for the interest and assistance of students and amateurs in 
all departments of botanical inquiry. By giving their sup¬ 
port to Rhodora, and by making Rhodora known to as 
many people as possible, the members of the Mycological 
Club can do a real service to the cause of botany, can help 
to make the study of our local flora more thorough, and its 
records more complete, and can expect increasing attention 
and space to be given by the Journal to fleshy fungi. 
The hope is here expressed that readers of this will try 
to find subscribers for the Journal. Copies for examina¬ 
tion will gladly be sent to any address. The price is 
$1.00 a year.
