Dear Hope;- 
I take the specimens you send to be Arenaria lateriflora 
Celtis occidentalis, and the third one I am in doubt about; it 
looks like Rubus triflorus, off hand, but it may not be that at 
all. ^rom what you have done with it does it seem likely to be 
that? 
That tree list h s grown considerably since I turned it over to 
Miss Hurley. At that tine it was 43. Somebody blundered. 
I think it would be very nice to have Mr. Green talk at the next 
Horti culturel meeting if he. can be induced to do so , which I doubt 
very much. At the last meeting, which neither you nor Stene attend 
ed,Mr. Bowen had occasion to mention, in connection with some 
expenditure proposed, that there was, at the present time, nothing 
whatever in the treasury, explaining that the two preceding meeting 
had been very expensive ones and had taken everything available, 
whis means that the next few meetings will have to be practically 
without money expenditure. I have nothing special to suggest, 
x 
having gotten the idea that Stene had something up his sleeve. 
Mr. Bowen made a very good suggestion to me at the last meeting 
to the effect that a men(s meeting might very properly follow the 
ladies' meeting. Perhaps if Green fails us we could fall back on 
that suggestion, and invite the men to come prepared to talk a few 
minutes on their favorite topic, and to discuss those presented by 
others. 
Cordially,
