rubra).  Missouri,  Nebraska,  New  York,  North  Carolina  and  Ohio 
each  had  good  collections  of  representative  woods,  North  Caro- 
lina's arrangement  being  particularly  fine  and  well  adapted  for  show- 
ing each  specimen.  They  seemed  of  unusually  large  size  in 
diameter  and  if  typical  of  her  forests,  the  Pacific  States  of  Oregon 
and  Washington  have  a  good-sized  rival  on  the  Atlantic  border. 
Large  photographs  of  forest  scenery  accompanied  the  sections ;  also 
concise  description  of  each  tree  and  its  uses. 
North  Dakota  and  Utah  each  had  large  sections  to  illustrate  this 
timber  without  reference  to  any  particular  species  or  family  of  them. 
The  Disston  Land  and  Drainage  Company  displayed  typical 
Florida  trees  in  large  sections. 
Kansas,  a  walnut  log,  48  feet  long,  and  78  inches  diameter  base 
and  48  inches  at  top. 
Virginia  showed  collections  of  several  counties,  cleverly  prepared, 
while  her  neighbor,  West  Virginia,  showed  not  only  a  great  variety 
of  her  types  of  trees,  but  also  mounted  specimens  of  insects  and 
their  havoc  with  trees. 
Among  New  York  exhibitors  was  Prof.  Hough,  who  had  the 
finest  display  or  arrangement  for  showing  the  life  history  of  the 
tree  that  there  was  in  the  building,  and  easiest  of  study.  One  sys- 
tem was  that  of  4  winged  standards  of  glass  covered  mounted  speci- 
mens of  the  tree  in  its  infancy,  roots,  stem  and  first  or  few  pairs  of 
leaves  on  one  sheet  of  herbarium  paper,  another  showing  flowers 
and  fruit,  a  third,  probably,  typical  leaves  and  the  fourth,  paper 
would  most  likely  have  a  diseased  specimen  or  one  showing  insect 
havoc,  or  elegant  photograph  of  specimen  area. 
His  arrangement  of  woods  showed  them  in  pieces  of  about  4  feet 
high,  an  average  diameter  of  the  tree,  vertical  sections  as  well  as 
transverse. 
The  Jesup  Collection  of  N.  Y.  Museum  Nat.  History,  New  York 
city,  was  represented  in  miniature  by  sections  principally  longitudi- 
nal about  12  x  14  or  16  inch  but  with  a  card  history  attached,  making 
an  interesting  exhibit. 
This  and  Michigan  and  Nebraska  were  the  only  States  which 
showed  any  attention  to  this  matter  of  insect  enemies  outside  of 
Government  display. 
Wisconsin  exhibited  over  70  varieties  native,  also  many  fine  tim-
