The correspondence reflects the active role of the Arboretum in propagation and distribution of introductions to individuals, nurseries, and other botanical establishments, spanning the years from 1920 - 1946. The letters include discussions of propagation and cultivation with colleagues, plant identifications for individuals and institutions, and requests for plant material.
