ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS 
V 
It was decided to publish the Proceedings in the belief that they would 
prove to be of material value to individuals and organizations charged 
with tree welfare. The expenses are to be met by subscriptions of $2 
for each copy of the Proceedings and the assistance of a limited number 
of individuals designated as Patrons who have generously contributed 
$25 each in order to aid in a fuller and wider dissemination of the infor¬ 
mation made available by this Conference. 
The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Park (Fordham Branch 
P. O.), New York, N. Y., has charge of the distribution of the Proceed¬ 
ings. Subscriptions may be forwarded to E. J. Countey, Accountant of 
the New York Botanical Garden, who has been made custodian of 
Conference funds.
